ing. which was said 10 have sug-
GeSted that Pearl Iarbor might

Army and navy press relations
officers told the United Press they
knew nothing about the reported
warning. Neither would the FBI
comment.
The warning was based. the
United Press was told, upon a
Commute telephone conversation

Russia
Warns
Toxic

MOSCOW. Jan. % GNS)-
Russia today sounded her first
authoritative warning 10 Japan 10
keep hands off Soviet Siberia or
suffer the stunning blows the Red
army now is administering TO
Adolf Hitler's leglons in the west.
The warning came in the form
OF a surprisingly blunt and acidly
sarcastic editorial in abe news
paper Pravda, official organ Of the
Russian Communist Party.
1t was an answer 10 recent Jap
aneSe editorials placing eastern
Siberia within the sphere Of
Japan's "co-prosperity zone" for
the expansion of which Japan is
warning upon the United Nations.
CRISIS INTIMATED
IntimatIng the possible approach
Of a RuSso-Japanese crisis, not
withstandinC the neutrality treaty
existing between the two powers,
the Pravda editorial asserted:
Japanese journalists are
bOaStfully writing about a So
called Japanese 'cO-prosperity
sphere the center OF which
would he FOrmosa and which
would embrace radius OF about
$500 miles. including Australia
and eastern Siberia.
THE Japanese journalists
should draw lesson from the
German journalists who In the
past have frequently destroyed
Russian armies and have confis-
Gated Russian territories-on
paper.
DON'T SKIN THE BEAR
"They should remember the
old Russian proverb: Don't skin
the bear before YOU have caught
him
Let the Japanese newspapers
learn from the experience of
others.
Let them not think that a
successful beginning necessarily
means a good ending"
