JAPANESE ARMY
TOKYO "AIR PERIL"
TOKYO, SEPT. 29.
THE JAPANESE WAR OFFICE EXPRESSES ITSELF AS DEEPLY CONCERNED OVER THE MASSING OF SOVIET TROOPS IN THE FAR EAST.
Asserting that the Soviet now possesses a peace- time army of over a million and al quarter men, with the most powerful and the most modern arms and equip-. ments, and that military preparations in the Far East are increasing rapidly, including the provision of an Air Force with scores of powerful bombers able to "attack the Japanese capital in the event of war," the War Office issued a statement to-day denying the report that Japan is planning to re-create four divisions of infantry.
General Araki explains, however, that there is a need for very large appropriations for modernising the army for the purpose of protecting Manchukuo and Japan against the menace.-Reuter
