THE GRAVE VIEW TAKEN BY THE SOVIET GOVERNMENT OF THE SITUATION REGARDING THE CHINESE EASTERN RAILWAY IS REVEAL- ED IN AN. OFFICIAL STATEMENT. RELEASED TO-DAY
The Soviet Government states that is now concentrating five thousand men of the Red Army as reinforcements for the troops already near Turyrog.
The Soviet declares that they are required to sup- press "White bandits" but refugees from the Maritime Province state that the Soviet is openly declaring that Japan wishes to take advantage of the C.E.R. dispute to despatch troops to the Maritime Province.
In this event, the Soviets will evacuate the Province, confident of their ability to return later.
