at Hardin on the Chinese Eastern
Railway to draw up an agreement to
transport Japanese troops over all the
lines of the Chinese Eastern at so
per cent reduction and to transport
japanese troops necessary to guard
the Eastern free.
Karakhan also demanded an ex-
PLANTATION of this request, declaring
it to be of political nature, affect
ing agreements existing between the
Soviet Union and Japan on the one
hand and between the Soviet Union
and China on the other.
DenOunce Japanese Support Of
White Guards
3. M Kahakhan pointed to the
activities of White Guards in Man
churia under the sovereignty and
directly aided by Japanese" He de-
clared this to be in violation of Mr..
Hirota's assurance to Litvinoff and
Karakhan that the Japanese would
not encourage White Guard activities
against the Soviet Union, He de-
manded an explanation Of these &C
tivities.
4, Information regarding the new
puppet Manchu1ian government set
up by the Japanese and their Chinese
nilitarist tools was requested.
Japanese Seek Pretext for War
The Japanese imperialists, in their
provocative moves against the Soviet
Union, are also trying to raise the
question Of Japanese fishing rights
in northern waters of the Soviet
Union. A Tass dispatch from Toxic
reports that the Seiyukai party. now
controlling the Japanese government,
has resolved that Japan must not
only think about China, Manchuria
and Mongolia (Which the Japanese
aim to loot and subjugate) but also
about fishing grounds in the north
ern waters of the Soviet, in which,
they claim, the japanese share has
decreased in the last few years as a
result of poor diplomacy.
The Soviet press brands this claim
as lie. Izvestia points out that the
Japanese are trying to falsify the real
situation as to the fishing problem
and to fool not only their onw pub
lie, but the public of all the world.
The statement that the Japanese
share of the fishing grounds is small
er than the Soviet share and is de-
creasing year by year Izvestia says
is entirely untrue, declaring that on
the contrary it is growing steadily,
and the Japanese share ST now So
per cent to theSoviet's AZ, I2vestia
adds that the Japanese forget that
the fishing grounds are actually in
Soviet territory.
In cnocIudes with warning note:
THE only answer TO this question
is the increased appetite of several
japanese circles who, after attempts
in Shanghai and Manchuria, want
to try their luck in Soviet waters.
May be 1t would be better for these
gentlemen TO curb their appetite
and be little more modest"
Holds Japan Has Conquered
Manchuria
The Soviet's blunt and official rep
reservations to Japan followed closely
on the heels of authentic news from
Peiping that the Japanese were or
ganizing White Guard force in Man
churia for the invasion of the Soviet
Province of Primer, at the same time
that Japanese Army invaded the
Trans-Baikal Province, the eastern
terminus of the Chinese Eastern Rail-
way.
To the Soviet's request for informa-
ton on thenew puppet government
organized by the Japanese in Man
churia, the Japanese Ambassador re-,
piled with typical imperialist hypo-
crisy that the question was directed
to the wrong quarter because the es-
Enlistment of the new State was
purely Manchurian affair. To which
Karakhan bluntly replied that Man.
churia was at present under the con-
troll Of the Japanese Army and any
thing happening there must be known
to the Japanese Government.
Toxic Admits Move Aimed at USSR
Tokyo officials have openly admit
ted that the attempt to use the Chi
nese Eastern Railway for the move
ment OF Japanese troops to Imienpo
and Pogranichinaya was directed
