frigid Manchuria, where a clash be-
tween Japan and the Soviet Union is
feared. Many things may happen when
two truculent armies face each other
within hand or fist shaving distance,
even if they are not precipitated by
militaristic policies of state at home.
When the japanese Army advanced
last month to Manchuli Station, west
ern terminus of the Chinese Eastern
Railroad, and occupied the immense
territory which the mutinous general,
Su Ping-Wen, held for two months, the
military set-up of the two countries
changed more than at any time since
the incident" of September 18, 1881,
when the Japanese occupied Manchuria.
The advance was without resistance
possibly not without price-though the
Hingan Mountains could have been de-
Tended, or the Hingan Tunnel put out
of service, by but small number of
Gen. Su's men.
Previous to that the Hingan Noun
talns, few hundred miles from the
Soviet-Manchurian frontier, were con-
sidered the line of demarcation between
the Japanese and Red armies. For
months many had been anticipating a
race between the two armies for posses
sion of the Hingans If the japanese
ever made move to go west of them.
That they did SO came as a surprise.
except possibly to those who made the
arrangements.
Japan Faces Bankruptcy.
The Argun and Amur Rivers and the
Yablovonoi Mountain range are now the
frontier, fixed by nature. The latter is
Ftan fruA to-
on either bank OF the rivers. while
around Manchuli, where no rivers flow,
only an imaginary line separates them.
When that ceases to be by mutual
agreement only the mountains remain.
From a military standpoint, the set
up is such that the Japanese are in the
best position they have ever been for
an attempt to carry out the long
cherished ambition Of annexing the
eastern half Of Siberia.
They control the Southern Chinese
Eastern Railroad and could cut the
Northern Amur Railroad by short
flights of bombing planes At the same
time, the navy could operate along the
coast and down the Amur as far as
Khabarovsk and possibly BlagoVest-
chensk.
One effective obstacle to this is that
VIC ANCAS aAS AlO1eL anu, before tney
thaw out next Spring, the militarists
may be over their present peeve over
the renewal of Sino-Russian diplomatic
relations. The red army is another OBJ
stacle, but the japanese generals are
confident.
The present venture in Manchuria is
costing Japan around 1000 900 900 ven
(about $200,000,000 at present ex-
change) year and operations in ST.
IBERIA would add something like 500O,-
000000 yen $1,000, 100000 a year for
few years. 1t would bankrupt Japan
its vaunted lifeline OF Manchukuo"
becoming death noose"-but the
militarists do not consider that.

Chang Sees S0ong.
Gen. Chang Kai-Shek, chairman of

Ningpo, following visit to his BIRTH
place at the nearby village of Fanghwa
The general Immediately conferred
with DR.. T. v. Soong, finance minister
concerning ShanhaikWan developments
declining, however, to reveal the nature
of the conversation except indicating he
was returning to Marking Immediately
DR. Soong4 characterized the attack
pn Shanhaikwan as only another step
IN the carefully laid plans Of japanese
Snilitarists' to invade Mongolia and
North China.
After Chang. Kai-Shek had left DR.
Eoong issued statement On the latest
outbreak.
Two live bombs were discovered in
a Japanese police station at Shanhai-
kwan," he said. That is the pretext
5or the latest japanese drive In. the
north. 1t may go down in history with
the mythical explosion on the South
Manchuria Railway track that fateful
might last September.

1T is not difficult to divine the mo-
fives for this latest drive. Jehol, the
gateway to North China and Mongolia
has long been coveted by the japanese
militarists, but attacking that noun
Famous province in Midwinter presents
tiflculties. They hope that pressure

fhanhaikwan will result in its surrender
without fighting
Thus 1888 begins as 1882 began wits:
fthe shadow OF Japanese militarism cast
pver q world desperately in need OF
peace.

of the night of January ! when Chinese
and japanese troops clashed, with
casualties on both sides.
The warning was conveyed in two

of Gen. Nakamura, commanding the
Japanese troops in North China, with
headquarters at Tientsin. The other
was in the name of Japanese military
and naval attaches here.
At noon today the Japanese legation

Shanhaikwan, while the latest Chinese
official reports stated the city was still
| in the hands of the Chinese, who ere
pulsed the japanese attack"

subject to keen speculation here Man
churian headquarters of the japanese
take the view that the clash was
merely IAN unfortunate frontier Incl

| Gen. Chang Hsiao-Liang has in
| Structed his troops to do nothing to
aggravate the situation, it was stated.
The japanese military leaders, however,
are obviously incensed at what they
regard as a breach of faith on the
part of the Chinese and independent
observers are closely studying the pos
sibility that the Japanese may seize
the opportunity to bring both Shan
haikwan and Jehol into the Manchukuo
