Soviet precautions against a pos sigle Japanese penetration of the Russian sphere of influence in northeastern Manchuria, generally are believed to be responsible for developments which have stirred Moscow and Tokyo into close ex- animation of each others position in that section.
 The exchanges centered at first around the use of the Chinese East ern railway for transporting Japan csc soldiers to points east of liar bin, but this subject has been ex- banded to bring into the discussion the disposition of soviet troops all along the eastern border of Man churia.
 The Japanse consul at Vladivo- stok told his government that 100,- 900 soldiers of the red army were in the vicinity, with chief stations at Radolnaya, Ugolnaya and Shko- tova, north of that city, and in the Posiet Bay district to the south.
 Moscow has repeatedly denied that there has been any untoward military concentration in that sec- ton, but Tokyo spokesman said the

soviet soldiers had been moving in there since December, presumably starting about the time that plans were first laid for setting up an autonomous government in Man chufaia
 The soviet interest In this political change revolves around it's possible effect upon the trade at Vladivo- stok. If supine Chinese adminis- tration in Manchuria needs Jap anese suggestions that the Chang chun- -Kirin railway be extended to Kainel in northeastern Korea, this effect might be immediate.
 Kainel is already connected by railroad with Seishin and a Kirin- Kainel line would naturally divert to the Korean coast considerable traffic that now finds it's outlet at V1adivostok.
 The upshot, after the various charges and denials, was that Mos COW consented to having Japanese troops transported eastward from Harbin on the Chinese Eastern rail way, but limited them to the re- zion around Imienpo where there has be a revolt against the new government of Manchuria.

 Shipowners petitioned the govern ment to extend a long term credit. The authorities declined on the ground that credits do not insure recovery.
 It is the Ministry of Transporta- tion's plan to prevent the sale of part of this laid-up tonnage which, they fear, would otherwise, under some foreign flag, appear as competitors of what remains of the German merchant marine.
 So the Ministry advocates the scrapping of at least 10000 tons of shipping. A "scrapping pre- mium' of s5 to $7 a ton is to be paid to the owners.

 Declaring that all of Southeast Alaska has been optioned by the United States Forest Service to cer- tain California interests, MT. Holz- worth wired as follows:
 "As a member of the National Committee on Wild Life Legislation YOU are no doubt familiar with the facts in reference to the proposed Admiralty Island sanctuary to give protection to the large population of Alaskan brown and grizzly bears, and also with the so-called wood pulp options granted by the United States Forest Service to George Cameron of San Franciso Chon- icle and I. zellerbach, both of San Francisco, covering the panhandle or southeastern section of Alaska, approximately $50 miles long and l2O miles wide and in which IS contained the world famous beau tiful inside passage to Alaska.
 Most of the timber on that area is mature virgin timber from two to six feet in diameter, consisting of spruce and hemlock of fine quail ity adapted for building purposes. Am informed that confirming con- tracts covering so-called options have not been signed.
