"In conclusion Litvinov drew the ambassadors attention to the fact that on July 19 some Japanese band invaded the premises of the Soviet Embassy at Tokyo and spread there provocational hand bills. Although usually no person can center the embassy without being stopped by the considerable police force on duty there, the latter made no at- tempt to prevent the incursion of the band into the embassy. In the interests of tranquility and normal work of the Soviet Embassy in Tokyo and the Japanese Embassy in Moscow the Japanese government must take measures to punish those guilty and to prevent repetition of such cases in future. "
 (July 19 the United Press Tokyo Bureau reported that eight members of the Reactionary Kenkokukai organization picketed the Russian Embassy at Tokyo and distributed hand bills demanding immediate chastosement of Russia" The pickets demanded an interview WitE the Charge D'ffaires, Constantine Semtanin, and when 1t was refused l tried a sit down siege.

 Soviet Challenges Japan
 Tokio. July 22-UP)-The Soviet Union apparently has challenged Japan in it's occupation of hill near Changkufeng in the Vladivos- tok region, which Japan claims Is Manchukuan territory, foreign of- flee spokesman said today in Q statement to the press.
 Russia must assume complete responsibility for what may hap pen, the spokesman said, adding:
 "The Soviet has thrown another stone in the relations between the two countries at this juncture when relations are delicate"
 Japan is naturally in position to take the necessary steps because she is responsible for the defense of Manchukuo, the spokesman said
 Reiterating that the hill is ir Manchukuan territory, the spokes- man cited the fact that regular Manchu religious ceremonies arc held there every June and Septem Der. He also recalled recent Soviet assertions favoring maintenance oi the border status quo, with regard to the strain in relations, tho spokesman said:
 Even under such circumstances Manchukuo and Japan have watch ed and waited patiently, hoping tha the Soviets would be reasonable 1T dealing with the case.
 Japan Is Ready
 However, Japan herewith de clares her readiness to take thu necessary steps and proclaims he right to take such measures"
 Japan, he said, demands Sovie withdrawal from Changkufeng ant return to the border status quo He urged the Soviet to consider i seriously.
 The spokesman asserted the Jap anese protest offers a reasonable proposal for restoration of the sta tus quo and therefore the Sovie responsibility is grave because Maxim Litvinov, foreign commissar refused to listen to the Japanes, proposal.
 Prior to the spokesmans state ment, the cabinet met to consider Russias rejection of the Japanes, demand for withdrawal.

 PLANES ARRIVE

 Both flights marked the renewal of aerial surveys in what has de- veloped into an international race to start the first commercial air service over the Atlantic.
 Mercury Landed Yesterday
 The Mercury landed at 4:08 p. m. EDT. yesterday, 25 hour and eight minutes after taking the air from the back of its mother plane, the Maia, over Foynes, Ireland, and eight minutes after the Nordmeer was catapulted from the decks of the Schwabenland off Horta. The Mercury flew on-stop to Montreal and thence to Port Washington.
 Blankenburg was accompanied by Otto Erik, co-pilot; Alfred Eger flight mechanic, and William Kuep- pers, radio engineer. The Nordmeer, gray low-wing seaplane. flew in from the northeast at only 500 feet and descended to the water with out turning.
 Deutsche Lufthansa has been con- ducting experiments with its cata- putt planes for three years and in 1886 and 1887 made several round- trip flights between Horta and Port Washington.
 i Trans Atlantic Tests
 The Mercury and Nordmeer rep resented two airplanes-British and German-which were making final experiments in proposed trans-At- lanti flying service after six years of planning. Both lines together with American Airways expect to provide the same regularly sched- uled passenger service between North America and Europe next year that Pan-American clippers have provided across the Pacific for the past three years.
 Pan-American Is cooperating with both foreign lines. Its weather radio and operations facilities will be used by the German firm Deutsche, Lufthansa between the Azores and Port Washington, the last leg of a service that extends from the Azores to Lisbon, Marse- files, Frankfort and Berlin, a dis tance of more than 5000 miles. The Germans will maintain regular serv- ice over this route for 12 weeks this summer, beginning July "A. The schedule will include IA round trips between Berlin and here, total o1 28 Transatlantic flights.
 The British firm Imperial Air ways, will continue experimental flights until October, and plans te offer regular service next spring.
 One potentiality of the new era of Transatlantic travel was stress ed here and in Montreal yesterday when newspapers carried by ths Mercury were sold on the streets 24 hours after they had been printed .n London.

 to Moscow, for withdrawal of the Russian troops said that Shige- mitsu did not threaten to use force. He added that Litvinov might have received the impression that Shige- mitsu made sue ha threat.
 The spokesman declined to say whether any fresh diplomatic efforts were planned. He said, however, that Japan still insisted on the withdrawal of the Russian troops and the establishment of the sit- uation as 1t was before the alleged frontier violation. Then, the spokes- man said, the question of demarking the boundary could be considered.

 Hull's stiffly-Worded note and the action he proposed surprised dip lomatic quarters. Reports from Mexico City indicated that surprise was just as great there.
 Note Carefully Phrased
 The note was carefully phrased. It reviewed the efforts of this gov ernment over the past five years to cooperate in every way, financially and economically with the Mexican government
 After revolving efforts made to obtain adequate, effective and prompt compensation" for Agrarian properties, and Mexico's claims that the appropriations were necessary "to carry forward a program for the social bettermen of the masses of it's people," Hull remarked terse- ly:-
 "The issues is not whether Mex
  omic policies designed to improve the standard of livig of it's people. The issue is whether in pursuing the property of America Nationals may be taken by the Mexican gov- ernment without making prompt payment or just compensation to the owner in accordance with the universally recognized rules of law and equity ..
 Confiscation Is Charged "The taking of property without compensation is not appropriation It is confiscation. It is no less confiscation because there may be an expressed itet to pay at some time in the future.
 "If it were permissible for gov- ernment to take the private prop erty of the citizens of other coun- tries and pay for 1t as and when, in the judgment of that government, it's economic circumstances ad it's local legislation may perhaps permit, the safeguards which the constitu- tions of most countries and estab- lished international law have sought to provide would be illusory. Gov ernments would be free to take property far beyond their ability or willingness to pay, and the owners thereof would be without recourse.
 We canont question the right of a foreign government to treat its own Nationals in this fashion of 1t so desires. This is a matter fo domestic concern.
 But we cannot admit that a foreign government may take the property of American Nationals in regard of the rule of compensation under internatioal law" Mexico Surprised Mexico City, July 22.-(UP)--- United States Secretary of State Cordell Hull's demand for a show down on the question of payment for appropriated Americana owned

Today's morning newspapers re- ported that Russia had assembled 250 airplanes just inside the Rus sian frontier, and there were vari- ous reports of Russian troop rein forcement.
 The newspapers noted, also, that three Japanese messengers sent to the frontier early this week to deal directly with Russian commanders on the spot had not returned. Some anxiety has been shown for the messengers though 1t was pointed out that messengers sent on sim liar mission in 1886 were delayed but eventually returned safetly.
