Planes Not Engaged
Tokyo, Aug. 3
It is learned that Japanese planes, in order to show their strength, Hew along the eastern frontier of Man- chukuo yesterday morning.
It is emphasised that although they passed over Soviet territory, they were not engaged in hostile activities, and were allowed to go on un- challenged.
The number of plunes participat- ing in the display is not disclosed.- Reuter.
Negotiations In Sight?
Tokyo, Aug. 3.
A Keljo report states that the Kwantung authorities issued a com- munique yesterday whch stated:
"Although there were some skir- mishes to-day in the Changkufeng area, none was serious. Also Soviet aeroplane movements were not posi- tive to-day.
It is now a known fact that
which five planes
illegally crossed into Manchukuo yesterday were downed."
The reason for the communique is not explained, but it possibly means that the Manchukuoans anticipate opening negotiations soon-United Press.
