matters arising from the seizure of the

ton.
The statement said the note was
translated into Chinese Saturday night
and filed by telegraph to Marking with
a request to relay 1t to provincial OFF,
Gals at Mukden, since there was no d.
rect communication. More than "a
hours were thus lost in getting the note

possible, in view of this, there would be
an extension Of time allowed in it for a
favorable answer.

In the absence of Georges Tchicherin,
commisSar for foreign affairs, and

STATIONS at Moscow and throughout the
Soviet union, hints emi-officially at
the action Russia might take if a salts

remarks.
Enemies Are Warned.

Manchuria but throughout China, not
only in the East but throughout the
West, to hearken to the voice OF Soviet
Russia.
"As for those to whom the note of
July IS was addressed, let them, after
hearing the storm of protest in the So
Wet Union, zealously reread our diplo-
matte note and It's minimum demands.
In the face of the menacing force
awakened within the confines of the
Soviet Union, they ought to compre-
bend the nature of the reply due at
Moscow not later than the date given.
