By GLENN BABE

TOKYO, Dec. 6.-Prepared un- der direction of the Japanese Gen. eral Staff, map just published delimitS for the first time the boundaries of that product of Ja- pans military occupation of Man churia, the state of Manchukuo.
 When The Associated Press ask ed Lieutenant-General Sadao Ar aki, Minister of War, to define the area of the new state the General produced copy of this map, say ing
 "This will answer your ques- tions. In brief, Manchukuo in- cludes the former provinces of Fengtien. Kirin. Heilungkiang and Jehol."
 In thus mentioning Jehol as part of the new state Gen. Araki car- ried it's boundaries outside of what the Chinese considered Manchuria. Furthermore the map showed that the territory claimed for Manchu- kuo had been split into five pro- vinces. the four named by him ard section in the northwest called Khingan, after the noun tain range that runs through it. This new province contains areas formerly under the nominal juris- diction of Fengtien and Hellung- iang provinces. Mongol tribes are dominant there.
 446,000 Square Miles Manchukuo as pictured by this map has an area of about 446 900 square miles, little more than the combined areas of France, Ger many Belgium and Austria, which total 442,000 square miles. The population of the new state is about 33.700,000, of whom at least g. ,00n GOO, are Chinese. Until recently Japanese and Manchukuo authorities have been non-commital about the new state frontiers, especially on the west. As late as July, when the League of Nations Commission under the Earl of Lytton was visiting Tokyo, Lord Lytton asked Count Vasllya uchida. the foreign minister, what the frontiers of Manchukuo were. The Japanese replied:
 By Manchuria we understand the four eastern provinces and Inner Mongolia It is impossible at present to give the precise frontiers"
 How can you speak of recogniz- ing a country whose frontiers you do not know?' Lord Lytton asked.
 Certainly the treaty of Versailles gave an example of the same thing. with regard to Poland" Count Uchida countered.
 Inner Mongolia, the term used by Count Uchida has long had an indefinite connotation the Japan csc having used it to include the present Chinese provinces of Cha har and Suiyuan which the Man. king government created at the same time that Jehol was made a province, about six years ago. The three were carved out of the nor thern part of Chihli province and Mongol territories.
 Boundaries Now Fixed
 Asked whether claim would be advanced for the inclusion in Man. chukuo of Chahar and Suiyuan also, General Araki said that the new map, which excludes them, showed the proper boundaries. 1 The map, published in both Jap- anese and English, gave Manchu- kuo the following boundaries:
 On the map Korea and Siberia, Manchuria having no seacoast op this side; on the north, Siberia, with the Amur river and its tri- butaries marking the frontier: on the west, Outer Mongolia, which is under the dominance of Soviet Russia, and Chahar province, part O. the Chinese Republic; on the south, the Great Wall of China, dividing it from the Chinese pro- vince of Hopel formerly ChihlD, and the Yellow Sea
