It is sugested that General Mishahenke's raid is closely related with the Rassion threat to in tion it is pointed out that Geroral Linevitch's report about General Mishchenko was delayed here for two days till the Foreign Office decided publicly to arow Russia's intention of trans- ferring operations to Mongolis. But if these operations are to be merely of the nature of General Mishchenko's reconnaissances, why, it may he asked, does Bassin deliberately invite the suspicion of designs upes the integrity of China?
