Runciman OFF for Praha.

LONDON. Aug 2 (F9.-Viscount
Runciman left London today for
Praha where he will serve as the "un-
official" mediator in the search for a
peaceful solution to Czechoslovakia' S
tangled minority problem.
He had last-minute reminder that
his mission might have difficulties.
Called from a yachting holiday to
tackle the issues in Europe's latest
danger area" Lord Runciman studied
an attack by the Nazi-supported Sude-
ten German party on the Czecho-
slovak governments proposals for an
swering its demands for autonomy and
other concessions.
The Sudeten Germans complained
IN a pamphlet that the republics gov
ernment in effect still regarded them
as minority instead Of conceding
them of equal status with the Czechs.
Runciman. former cabinet minister,
as president of the Board of Trade,
was accompanied by his wife. He
was named mediator by the British
government.
His corps of expert assistants left
by air for Praha this morning. but
Runciman took the longer journey by
way of Paris where he was expected to
see French government leaders.
Suggestions that he was going to the
Czechoslovak capital to test an already
prepared British plan for settlement
of minority issues were denied here.
But it was pointed out that If the
Viscount produced proposals which
appeal to the British government" ="
These might form basis for a plan
Britain would sponsor.

munique was issued before the Rus

The Osaka and Fukuoaka districts

semi-milltary restrictions. Presumably
the step was precaution in connec-
ton with the frontier dispute.
The minister of war, Lieut.. Gen.
Seishiro Itagaki, outlined the critical
state Of affairs to the cabinet. and
later went with Gen. Kazushige Ugaki,
foreign minister, to the residence of
Premier Prince Fumimaro Konoye.
Prince Konoye left short time later
for Hayama to report to the emperor
at his summer villa.
Air Attack Intensifies Gravity.
Yesterdays attack upon japanese
positions on the Manchukuo-Siberi
frontier by a squadron of Soviet war;
planes intensified the gravity of the
trouble, which took precedence over
all other matters of government.
"Japan's policy is one of non-ag-
gression, but she will not tolerate in
vasion of her territory" said one
member of an official group.
However, despite fighting in
China, Japan is capable of engag-
ing in major conflict with Russia.
The Kwantung army, which probably
is the empires best. still is intact,

MOSCOW WARNS JAPAN.
Possible Terrible Consequences"

VSA~AS ~AAsOAS Consequences
Foreseen in Invasion.
MOSCOW, Aug. 2 (R.-The Soviet
government instructed its Charge
D'Affaires to Toxic today to warn
Japan Of possible terrible conse-
quences" Of an invasion into Russian
territory, a consequence of the most
serious frontier fighting since the be-
ginning in 1881 of . long series Of
boundary incidents
Soviet circles in the afternoon said
they were unable to confirm foreign
reports Of a new offensive in the
Changkufeng area.
Foreign military observers had
viewed the current border trouble as
likely to be only another of inde-
cisive disputes when it started, July II,
but the large-scale battle over the
week end inspired far more serious
outlook today.
A Soviet communique said that more
than 400 Japanese were killed or
wounded, and 13 Russian soldiers
were killed and IS wounded. Japanese
versions estimated Russian casualties
at 600)
Tanks, airplanes and artillery were
utilized (Tokio dispatches said so So
Wet planes bombed Japanese posi-
tions), and the fighting centered
about Changkufeng Hill, on the ST.
berian Manchukuo Korean border
area, roughly defined and poorly
mapped.
The Russian account charged that
Japanese forces invaded Soviet ter
ritory a distance of two and one
half miles before being driven back,
but that Soviet troops did not pursue
them across the Manchukuo border.
japanese contended the Russians
had fortified Manchukuo territory,
which they said included Changku-
feng Hill; the Japanese attacked to
drive them out, whereupon the Rus
slams withdrew into their own ter
ritory.
The Russians captured five artillery
pieces and IA machine guns, and lost
a tank and field piece. One Soviet
plane was brought down, the CON-
munique admitted, and the pilot who
parachuted to the ground likely was
captured. Japanese listed five planes

NEW WAR CLOUDS
ENSHROUD EUROPE
French Charge d'Affaires
in Rome Sees Bonnet
on Italian Pact.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, Aug. 2.-The oath anniver-
sary of the French mobilization for
the World War found Foreign Min
lister Georges Bonnet comforting today
with diplomats amid new war clouds.
The Nazi-supported Sudeten- Ger
man party's veto Of the Czechoslovak
governments offers to meet their
autonomy demands, coupled with the
increasing seriousness of Japanese
Soviet clashes on the Siberian border
were seen by diplomats as plunging
Europe once again into a period of
extreme tension.
Jules Blondel, French Charge
d'AffairS in Rome, who reached Paris
this morning, talked with Bonnet re-
garding the possibilities Of reopening
Italian-French conversations looking
to friendship pact.
Viscount Runciman. unofficial Brit
ish mediator in the CzechoSlovak dis
pute over minority rights, was ex-
pected to confer briefly with French
officials in Paris en- route to Praha to
assume his duties.
Part of the French press saw a
direct connection between Russian
japanese fighting and Nazi aims in
Czechoslovakia.
The fact that NJ Bonnet and M.
Blondel discussed new negotiations
with Italy was accepted by diplomats
as meaning the French government
had urgent reasons to approach Pre-
mier Mussolini after the series of re-
buffs in previous efforts to win his
friendship.
Should Germany be involved in
conflict with Czechoslovakia over the
Sudeten question, France would be
bound by treaty to aid the Praha gov
ernment. Italian friendship, or at
least neutrality, would be necessary to
France.

as long as there IS the faintest possi-
bility, no matter how remote, that
such solution can be achieved, it is
worth making the attempt to reach 1t.
And second. If there is no possibility
whatever. that fact must be demon
strated to the outside world.
May Need Frontier Changes.
For, If the outside world is con-
vinced that no solution Is possible
which leaves the Czech frontiers in
tact with the Sudeten Germans in
Czechoslovakia, then the world will
have to start thinking In terms Of a
solution" which changes the Czech
frontiers and gives the Sudeten Ger
mans to the Reich.
And once the world began to think
in terms of the annexation Of 3,500,0
Sudeten Germans by the Reich, the
political preparations for that event
will be in their final stage.
There are at least three major GER
tainties in the Czech-German prob
lem-flrst, the Reich intends to annex
the Sudeten Germans ultimately; sec
ond, the Reich hopes and intends to
do this without major war and even
without the use of armed force against
Czechoslovakia itself; but, third, if the
international situation becomes so
complicated that it seems safe to an
mex the Sudeten Germans without a
major war and merely at the cost of a
brief campaign against Czechoslovakia
alone. the solution" of the problem
may take precisely that form.
That is why the frontier skirmishes
in Manchuria are giving diplomats
sleepless nights in Europe.

what makes the governments so anx-
ious about the newest Russo-Japanese
crisis. For, If a major conflict should
break out on the Soviet-Manchurian
border, then other major conflicts
would be more than possible on other
frontiers of Europe:
European Conflict Seen.
The Czech question would most
likely lead to a conflict in Europe If
Russia should become deeply involved
in the Far East. It may lead to con-
flict in the relatively near future
even II Russia keeps her hands free
in the East, but the chances of g.
European war will become greater If
the red army is paralyzed in the West
For the time being, however, there
is truce on the Czech question. It
is an armed truce, punctuated by
sniping, subject to being broken off
altogether without notice, and hav-
ing almost nothing to do with real
peace. But, such as it is, it at least
affords breathing spell.
During this breathing spell an at
tempt is being made to solve the
Sudeten German problem in such a
way as to maintain the territorial in
tegrity of Czechoslovakia-in such a
way, that Is, that Czechoslovakia'
frontiers would remain what they are
now and the Sudeten Germans would
continue to be Czech citizens. Almost
nobody here believes that such a solu-
tion can be found. It is doubtful if
the Reich even wants such a solution
to be found. But the attempt must
be made.
From the German point Of view
there are at least two major reasons
why the attempt must be made. First,
