THE CHINA MAIL, APRIL 19, 1938.
JAPAN'S EXPLANATION OF BORDER AIR INCIDENT
Tokyo, To-day.
One of nine Japanese aeroplanes while flying over Tunning, near Suifenho, the eastern border town in Manchukuo, during a stormy weather on April 11, make a forced landing at a point two kilometres east of Tunning, that is, in So- viet territory.
This was revealed by a Foreign Office spokesman yesterday, who explained that the landing had been made because the plane's supply of gaso- lene had been exhausted. The Japanese authorities, he went on, immediately asked the Soviet authorities to return the machine which was now be- ing detained by the Soviet.
