hurriedly at the order of his Government from a vacation abroad, saw Commissar Litvinov Wednesday. News of the visit. and the serious stage which the incident had reached. was announced last night in a long official communique. It was not until this morning when they read their newspapers. that Russian people realized that the recurrent tension in relations with Japan had been intensified to a high degree. The delicacy of this new disagreement between .Japan and Russia was shown plainly by the exchanges between the Commissar and the Ambassador as given in substance in the Russian official communique: Ambassador Shigemitsu -- Japan has decided that the disputed territorv belongs to Manchukuo (Japan's satellite state formed from Chinese Manchuria.) Responsibility for violation of the frontier status rests with Russia. Japan demands immediate withdrawal of the Russian troops. Commissar Litvinov — The Russian claim to the hill is incontest- | ible. Movements of Russian troops in Russian territory are regulated by Russian authorities and no interference by or demand of any other state can be permitied. JapanManchukuo will bear responsibility for anv developments,

Force Hinted .

Ambassador Shigemitsu—the Japanese Government is not likely to be satisfied by this reply. It is necessarv to take measures to restore calm and to discharge the atmosphere now created on the frontier. Otherwise Japan will be compelled to "draw a conclusion about the necessity for applving force. Commissar Litvinov — The demand to withdraw the Russian troops. not backed by any documents whatsoever. is unacceptable. { If the Ambassador regards as good diplomatic method threats and intimidation—of a sort which certain states. indeed. yield-—<he must know that he cannot apply this method successfully in Moscow. FDR GRANDSON LIGHTER PHILADELPHIA. July 22 (U. P) ~The three-day-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank D. Roosevelt Jr. has “lost a little weight” but is expected to “start picking up” soon, Dr. Ralph M. _Tyson reported today.

Debates Reply.

WASHINGTON, July 22 (U. P). Secretary of State Cordell Hull demanded a show-down with Mexion the payment for expropriated land and oil properties owned by Americans. In a formal nate handed to MexicanrgAmbassador Dr, Francisco Castillo Najera, Secretary Hull proposed that an international court of arbitration be established to determine whether ihe Mexican Gov-

co lodav

ated property, how much should be paid, and the terms of the payment. He made this proposal under the terms of a general treaty of arbitration signed at Washington in January 1929, to which Mexico, the United States, and most other American republics are parties. Secretary Hull tacitly accused the Mexican Government of having failed to make an honest effort to pay for seized property, and scolded the regime of President Lazaro Cardenas for jeopardizing not only the good neighbor policy of this Government, but also the whole realm of amicable international re-

Jatjons.

Deals Only With Farm Lands’

Specifically, his note dealt only with farm lands, owned by U. S citizens, which have been seized by the Mexican Government since 1915, He said that some 161 moderate sized properties had been expropriated between 1915 and 1927. and that not a single claim for these properties has yet been paid. Since 1927 additional properties. which Mr. Hull valued at a total of $10,132,388. have been seized. None of these has yet been paid for, he said. No mention was made of American oil properties valued at approximately 200 million dollars. which were expropriated last spring. Diplomatic observers believed, however, that the note laid the groundwork for similar action on behalf of the oil companies. Secretary Hull's note and the action he proposed surprised diplomatic quarters. Reports from Mexico City indicated (Continued on Page Five)

Russia must assume complete re= sponsibility for what may happen, 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 a position to take the necessary steps because she is responsible for the defense of Manchukuo. the spokesman said.
