SET
For Attack
On Russians
80 to 40 Divisions
Said to Be Ready
for Sudden Blow

LONDON, July 21 CUP). -
Usually reliable quarters said today
that Japan probably has half her
armies massed in Manchukuo and
has nearly completed preparations
for an attack on Russia at time
of her own choosing.
These prepara tions have
reached an advanced stage and
there is little doubt that Japan 4
could press . button for the al
tack now" an informant said.
But when Japan does attack,
she will do so because It suits
her, not necessarily to give the
Germans any particular help"
READY FOR ACTION
Japan was reported to have con-
centrated between 80 and 40 di-
visions (up to $4,000 troops) on
the Siberian frontier, and the in-
formant pointed out that most OF
the events in the Far East re-
Gently have been designed 20 COM
Iplete the strategic preparations
for a northern attack.
Two of the most important Of
such events, the informant be-
lieved, were the seizure of the
small, outlying Aleutian Islands Of
the United States Alaskan chain,
and the operations along the
Hangchow-Nanchang Railway in
Chekiang and Kiangsi provinces Of
southeast China.
Occupation of the westernmost
Aleutian Islands protects the
japanese flank from American at
tack in case the main body Of
japanese troops are engaged else
where. The Hangchow-Nanchang
Railway seizure was less inn
portant, although the informant
saw in it a japanese attempt to
open overland communications be-
tween the japanese forces in far
southern China and the port Of
Shanghai.

worst of it, passing the car
