A stern warning against any attempt by Japan to interfere in the fighting in Inner Mongolia has been issued by the Ministry of For- eign Affairs, in answer to the statement of the Japanese Kwantung Army issued on November 28, in which it was stated that "the danger of the spread of Communism is the reason for the Japanese and Man- chukuoan sympathy with the Inner Mongolian invasion of the Chin- ese north-western province of Suiyuan."
