PARIS, April % G.N.S)-Work.
ing in almost complete secrecy, the
Soviets have constructed their own
';;Maginot. line" of Notifications
along the Siberian frontier, &C.
cording to information seepinC
into France, International News
Service was informed today.
Three underlying principles OF
the French frontier SyStem-all
used to some extent in the Soviet
militarized sectors-are close prox-
unity Of the fortified points, cross
fire, and underground construc-
ton.
Not Much Underground
It is not known how much Of
the Sovoiet system is underground
but it Is not believed to be much
because Of the isolation Of the
fortified districts and the extreme
cost of underground construction
Nevertheless the northern So
viet.Manchukuo frontier is said to
be spotted with concrete pill boxes
so near each other that Soviet
gunners can lay down continu-
Gus. barrage of whitening cross
fire along a front Of hundreds of
miles.
Construction Of this line began
some years ago, soon after Japan
eSe troops invaded Manchuria and
stationed themselves along the So
Wet frontier. Japan, as the most
interested foreign power. has
taken great pains to gather data
on the Soviet Notifications.
Japan Knows Line
In a recent pamphlet the Japa-
nese army officially declared:
cit is understood that since
1882 Soviet Russia spent about
100000 yen (abOut $780,
OOO, OOO) on construction of de-
1enS1Ve works at important parts
of the SOviet-ManchukuO border.
These defensive works, called
'tOchka' points, are composed
Of small but strong forts so to
100 yards apart and arranged
in three.fOld or fOur.fOld lines.
Their number is between 5000
and $780,"
Fertilization Of the Siberian
frontier was undoubtedly one Of
the reasons which led the Japanese
army to make an abrupt change
in its tactics about a year ago.
japanese military activity at that
time decreased along the northern
Manchukuo frontier and vastly in
creased in the region of inner
Mongolia.
