to express an opinion on the signi ficance of the latest move.

Neutrality

In the meantime the Foreign Office denies the report that the Soviet has approached Japan on the also question of neutrality and denies knowledge of the alleged activities of Ataman Semenoff, the "White" Russian leader. It is re- ported, however, that Semenoff has telegraphed from Dairen instructing a Japanese adviser, a retired officer named Colonel Kuroki, to proceed to Dairen to assist him.

It is officially learned that on July 16 Mr. Tokichi Tanaka, the Japanese Ambassador at Moscow, visited M. Karakhan (Vice-Commissar of For- eign Affairs and formerly Ambas- sador to China), who explained the Soviet standpoint, but said nothing to indicate an intention to adopt the present measures, nor touched on of Japanese the question either mediation or neutrality.

Efforts for Peace?

Though the Japanese Government

is still maintaining an attitude of watchful waiting, it has indicated

peace.

Apprehension

The Japanese General Staff, which is probably the best-informed organ in the world regarding the politico-strategic situation in Man- churia, expresses the belief that the rupture of Sino-Russian relations is unlikely to lead to an outbreak of hostilities, but admits that the con- centration of Chinese and Soviet troops along the border, facing each other, causes apprehension lest their. proximity in the present excited state precipitates a clash. War Not Meant Declaring that the reported severance of Sino-Russian diplo- matic relations betrayed previous expectation by the two countries to settle their disputes through peace- ful negotiations, the Foreign Office spokesman observed that the Soviet! Note did not necessarily mean war but indicates a determination to Insist on Russian interests and rights under the Sino-Russian and Russo-Mukden agreementa.esA

At the same time, added" the official spokesman, "we do not Exclude the chance of open war between the two countries as the loas of the Chinese Eastern Railway must be a question of life and death to Vladivostock.” — Reuter,
