‘Reports Circulated Deliberately’

“It is suppeséd that the above reports are circulated deliberately by interested Japanese militarists in order to justify their repeated attacks on Soviet territory and the tremendous losses which they have . to bear. The assumption is also expressed that the Japanese militarists are encouraged in their provocational actions by certain Japanese diplomats. : “Under these conditions further continuation of hostilities, fraught with extremely serious consequences, is regarded as inevitable.” The editorial in the Journal de Moscou, which lent point to this communique, was as follows: “Events show that Japan, despite her difficult situation, begins to make the greatest errors. We have in view recent provocations against the Soviet Union. Everyone knows that relative calm had reigned for a long time on the Russian-Manchu-kuan border and Japanese militarists seemed to understand that conflicts with the Soviet Union brought them no good. Nevertheless in recent days they have provoked serious frontier incidents. . . . These objectives will be the subject of a severe lesson in rejection and retaliation. : ‘Only Two Explanations’

“It is difficult to suspect that Japan actually wishes war with the Soviet Union at a time when she is engaged in China. The Japanese Government, supposing that it is able to appreciate sensibly the arrangement of forces, could uot, it seems, seek war with the Soviet Union. : “In consequence it is possible to find only two explanations: Weakening of discipline in the Japanese Army in Kwantung and Korea has led to exaggeration of Tokyo orders or those forces and Tokyo flatter themselves that they can increase their prestige by provoking local conflicts without risking war.” Then the editorial gave the following warning: “Japan plays a dangerous game. She plays with fire. The Japanese Government must fully realize that local conflicts reaching the “proportions of that one today may easily grow into a general conflict. One cannot recommend that Japan subject the peaceableness of the Soviet Union to trials indefinitely. “The Soviet Union will not tolerate any violations of its border, and still less any attempt to take possession of any points of its territory. The Soviet Government will "never tolerate that irresponsible eleme, in a Japanese military clique or desperate politicians, should organize the murder of Soviet frontier guards or an attack on certain Red Army units.

. ‘Soviet Compelled to Act’

“paced with these facts the Soviet Government is compelled to take sufficiently effective measures not only to put an end to concreie violations of the border but also once for all to put an end to similar provocational sallies of the Japa-nese-Manchurians. “We do not advise anybody, and especially Tokyo, to flatter themselves with illusions: The Soviet Government, relying upon the entire powerful united Soviet people, will not in any event whatever tolerate violation of the rights and interests of its people.. In everything that concerns these rights and Soviet frontiers, the Soviet Union fears no consequences however far-reaching they might be, and responsibility for them will rest with the Japanese Government.”

GEISEL’S CONDITION REPORTED AS GOOD

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 3 (U. P).— Harry Geisel, American League umpire, of Indianapolis, who suffered a broken left wrist and a slight concussion in a baseline collision with Catcher Billy Sullivan of the St. Louis Browns yesterday, was reported to be in good condition at St. John’s Hospital today. Hospital attendants said he had a restful night. The veteran umpire was under the care of the Browns’ physician, Dr. Robert Hyland, who ordered him to remain at the hospital indefinitely for observation, treatment and rest.

MEXICAN EXPORT TAX GOES TO CARDENAS

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 3 (U. P.).— Mexico’s new 12 per cent export tax, designed to obtain revenues quickly, was sent to President Lazaro Cardenas today for signature and promulgation. The tax will be levied against all exports, including minerals, but some observers feared that it would result in many mines being seriously affected.

WPA TO BUY 22,000 SETS OF FALSE TEETH

NEW YORK, Aug. 3 (U. P). — The WPA announced today that a contract had been signed with private dental laboratories to supply 22,000 sets of false teeth for home relief recipients here, at the rate of 136 dentures a day. The WPA formerly supplied false teeth made by dentists on relief rolls, but there were not enough of them and ‘some persons had been waiting two years for teeth.

what the Domei: News Agency asserted was an important conference.

Claims Russian Attack

After a day of fighting yesterday. the spokesman said, upwards of two battalions of Russian infantry attacked the Japanese positions at Changkufeng and Shatsaoping at 7 a. m. Japanese troops repulsed the attack, the spokesman said, and after an interlude of quiet the artillery began its hombardment. The spokesman asserted that Russian planes made 10 attacks on the Japanese frontier positions in the Changkufeng area Monday and Tuesday. On one raid, at 6 p. m. yesterday. he said, 60 planes bombed Kojo, on the Korean side of the border. Two Russian planes were shot down, the spokesman said, and their pilots killed. It. was possible, he added, that other Russian planes were downed. : The spokesman said that so far Japanese action had been entirely defensive and that no Russian territory was involved. Japan, he said, still hoped for a peaceful settlement of the frontier situation. : As regards the airplane raids, he said, another protest would be sent to Moscow today. Questioned about a protest which Constantin Smetanin, Russian Charge d’Affaires, had made against alleged Japanese attacks in Russian territory, the spokesman said that the protest had not yet been translated. The atmosphere at the war and foreign offices seemed less tense despite continued allegations of Russian attacks. The war office again remained open all night last night, but there were no night conferences of high offiters. There seemed to be an impression that, despite the continued fighting, it

32 Chinese Planes Shot

Down Near Hankow

SHANGHAI, Aug. 3 (U. P).— Japanese combat planes shot down 32 Chinese planes near Hankow, a Japanese naval communique said tonight. The Japanese communique said 54 Chinese planes, mainly of British, Soviet and American build, clashed with a Japanese squadron and were routed. The communique also said seven “cleverly camouflaged” Chinese planes were destroyed on the ground ®t the Hankow -airdromie; : Japanese aircraft blasted rail and river traffic in the Yangtse Valley. Their activities included setting afire a Chinese maritime customs launch and killing J. T. C. Crawley, British customs officer, and two Chinese. Officers of H. M. S. Gnat, a river gunboat, reported that six Japanese airplanes bombed and straffed the launch, which was anchored 35 miles below Hankow. Officers of the Gnat said that one bomb set the launch afire. When those aboard it attempted to reach shore the planes came down over the launch and straffed the deck with machine guns. The boat burned to the water's edge.

Japs Launch Air Raids

Air raids were launched at many points as Japanese troops moved into Nanchang and Yingshan and attempted to take up positions for a three-sided attack on the Chinese provisional capital at Hankow. . The Hankow airdrome was torn up by bombs ag many hangars were wrecked. The Peiping-Hankow Railway was bombed. A Japanese ccmmunique said that direct hits were made on warehouses, stations and the tracks. They also widely bombed warehouses and tracks along the Canton Railway and bombed . stations in the South. More than, 30 Japanese planes, believed to be part of a new consignment from Japan, left Shanghai for the Yangtse Valley where it was indicated the Japanese were making a heavy concentration of air power. ; Chinese airforce headquarters at Hankow said 11 Japanese pursuit planes and one Japanese bomber were shot down south of Wuchan. They admitted six Chinese planes failed to return to their base after a 30 minute fight..

Thirty thousand new Japanese reinforcements were reported to have gone to the front from Shansi province in order to speed up the drive. and occupy Hankow quickly so that Japan would be better able to meet any eventuality growing out of the Manchukuoan border dispute with Russia. The Japanese claimed that their march westward along the Yangtse from Kiukiang, 135 miles below Hankow, was gaining momentum despite the Chinese threat to their rear lines. : The Chinese reported that at least 100 assorted Japanese warships, 300 launches and hundreds of supply junks were following the Japanese vanguard westward.

POWERS TALK EXILE PROBLEM

Refugees Seen as Major Factor in European Situation.

LONDON, Aug. 3 (U. P.).—The uncontrolled plight of Europe's political, racial and religious refugees is. a major factor of unrest in international relations, Myron C. Taylor, chief American delégate, told the International Refugee Conference today. : The conference, called upon the invitation of President Roosevelt resumed its work with only slight prospects of relieving the plight of the refugees of! greater Germany. Germany was not represented, but many of the 28 governments which were agreed with Mr. Téaylor that immediate action was necessary. : “The problem of involuntary emigration challenges Western civilization, which is the saga of humanity’s march away from the rule of force to an orderly system of society

where good neighborliness is the rule,” Mr. Taylor said.

Rublee to Deal With Nazis

The task of dealing with Germany was expected to fall directly upon George Rublee, a' Washington lawyer whom Mr. Roosevelt suggested as executive director of thes committee ito handle refugee ofia tions, 2 wud See Unléss Germany agrees to let her political, racial and religious refugees leave’ with a certain amount of their possessions, and co-operates in their “orderly” emigration, however, the committee’s work may not accomplish anything. ; Lord Winterton of Great Britain was chosen chairman of the permanent committee handling the refugee problem and Mr. Rublee,was named executive director.

Same’ Positions. (Continued From Page One) vides a “short haul” for military supplies to troops’ stationed in northern Manchukuo ahd for transportation of the products of Man-

- | chukuo and the whole northeastern

area of Asia for export to Japan. Observers recently returned from that area declare Japan has spent millions of dollars during the past five years in development of the port

of Rashin into one. of the finest

commercial shipping ports on the north coast of Asia. Japanese engineers have only recently completed construction of a railway tunnel through the hills just back of the town, connecting the Rashin-Tumen rail line with the railroad running down the east coast of Korea. “Feeder” lines have been built out from the Rashin-Tumen-Kirin lines to serve and to tap the great hinterland of northeast Manchukuo. Port Developed as. Rival

The port of Rashin' was develped, expert observers believe, deliberately to kill the importance of Vladivostok, in Soviet-Siberian territory, as a Pacific port. Vladivostok is ice-bound part of the year, except for lanes kept open by icebreakers. . Rashin is open to shipping the year around. Observers familiar with the area believe this is partially due to the location of several small islands in the bay on which the port is situated, and the action of the tides through the channels between these islands. Rashin is only about 35 miles from the disputed Changkufeng hills—10 minutes’ tlight by modern military airplanes. Military experts said the presence of a potentially if not actually hostile military force so close to Rashin and its all-important feeder rail would render the position of the port untenable from a military viewpoint, and next to useless from a commercial viewpoint, except upon the sufferance of the military forces occupying the hills. Officials here believe that neither the Tokyo nor the Moscow Government wants war at this time. The Japanese Government is too deeply involved in its military adventure in China, and the Soviet Government is too busy furthering the industrial and transportation development of its own vast territory, for either to wish to take thie other on in a test of armed strength. Officials said, however, that out of what at first seemed a mere clash of border guards-for possession of a hitherto obscure hill on the Siberian - Manchukuoan - Korean Border, the military and economic the - economic nations have col-

forces—of the two lided headson. ae Prior to Japarese occupation of Manchuria, Vladivostok shared with Korean and Chinese ports in the im-port-export commerce of northern Manchuria. Vladivostok connected with Harbin via. the Chinese eastern railway. : The alternate rail routes for the commerce of this area were the rail lines through the whole length of Korea, or across the whole of Man-

churia to the port of Antung, or via

Peiping and Tientsin. With the development of Rashin as a port capablc of handling the commerce of the entire area, and of accommodating the largest ocean steamers, the rail haul for the commerce of this area was cut to a frac-

tion of the former distances.

It appeared, however, that the situation of the Loyalists below Gandesa was growing more desperate daily. - Their commander-in-chief, Gen. Vicente Rojo, attempted many times to get food and supplies through but failed. New pontoon bridges across the Ebro were - destroyed almost as quickly as they were: built and not a boat dared to venture into the river. The Rebels appeared, to have thrown the full force of reinforcements from the Levante Front into the battle to dislodge the Loyalists from the Gandesa Salient because their position around ‘Teruel, 100 miles to the southwest, was growing precarious. The Loyalists have made several attacks in the vicinity south and west of Teruel and appeared to have made a number of important conquests. Rebels believed that scattered ‘Loyalist attacks were intended only to distract them from the real purposes of their campaign in eastern Spain—Sagunto and Valencia. The new Loyalist attacks were started a week ago and since then the Rebels have been forced to withdraw men from the southern drive while the Government strengthened its defenses in that region. :

Italy to Enlarge Army;

Ban Jewish Students

ROME, Aug. 3 (U. P.).—Premier Benito Mussolini has decided to increase the strength of his fighting forces, it was announced today. Mussolini held several conferences with Count Paolo Rhaon Di Revel, Minister of Finance, and Gen. Alberto Pariani, chief of Staff and Undersecretary of War, and Gen. Giuseppe Valle, Undersecretary of Air. Mussolini is War and Air Minister.

After the conferences, the announcement said, it was agreed “to increase still . further the strength of Italy's armed forces.” Meanwhile the new racial purity program continued unabated. Foreign Jews will be barred from Ifalian schools effective at the beginning of the new scholastic year in October. an official announcement said today. “Beginning with the schoo] year of 1938-39,” the announcement said, “All foreign Jewish students are forbidden admission to Italian schools of every grade. Admission of those foreign Jews residing in Ifaly also is prohibited.” > aden
