T is not just chance that the Japanese push in China is now southward, and that the danger of a Russo-Japanese clash' in Mongolia has faded.
Very few months ago it looked as if an explosion on the borders of Mongolia 'and Manchukuo was all but inevitable. Now it has become unlikely.
Japan is going to busy herself with "China proper."
And the reason is that her Mongolian policy has proved a colossal failure.
In the beginning It was cloverly conceived and carried out. The key idea was to pose as the protector of the Mongol race, and to offer Japanese help ia unifying Mongolia.
The Mongol people are now in sections. There are the Mongols of Manchuria-under Japanese control: the Mongols of Inner Mongolia, under Chinese suzerainty: the Mongols of Outer Mongolia, a People's Republic under Soviet protection, the Uzbeka In Siberia.
Every favour, every sympathy WILS shown to the Mongols of Manchuria. They were protected against the economic invasion of the Chinese (the greatest Mongol grievances). They were Aattered and cosseted.

Clever Japanese officers, talk- Ing Mongol, understanding the Mongols, laid the foundations of n Mongolian revival, with the Mongols of Manchukuo as the nucleus.
They mashed their propagando very successfully Into Inner Mongolia, less superssfully, but quite, seriously into Outer Mongolia and Uzbekistan.
In Constant Conflict
BEHIND the propagamta came the troops, 1105- Ing their way cautiously forward until Irontier patrols of Manchukuo and Outer Mingolin came into constant
rotflirt.
The wheir situailon looked very #minous; and then with a queer sucİ» derness the Japanese pressure ceased.
Two things had happened;
Firs the Tokyo Government real- Ised that the Sovici Union would fight if Outer Mongolin were attacked: and that Russian military strength in the Far East was now of such a kind that war would be a dangemus gamble for Japan.
Second, the Mougal polley, on which wverything depended, lind collapsed.
Arroganco
BEHIND the picked officers who had been trying to hard and ably to win the confidence and sympathy
of the Mongols had come a different type of Japanese-arrogant soldiers, arrogant
officials, greedy business men.
The Mongols found themselves no longer flattered, but treated CON- temptuously as a subject and half barbaric Deople. They found them-
