UPROOTING OF GERMANS IN ITALIAN TYROL

Berlin, To-day.

A "futile attempt to drive a wedge between Germany and Italy," is how the "Zwoelf Uhr Blatt" describes an article in "Le Temps" dealing with repatriation of Germans from South Tyrol.

This action is taking place with the full approval of both Govern- ments, it is declared, and is in keeping with the declaration of the German Chancellor during his Rome visit in 1938 that the vital space of the two countries must be clearly defined.

The surmise of "Le Temps" that Italy is anxious to get rid of the Germans so that the minority in that country will not afford Hitler an excuse for a later expansion is characterised as "poisoning of the vilest type."

The trade has promised to operate in making the programme as effective as possible.

A flat subsidy rate is now virtu- ally certain, with the possibility that will not be confined to 1939 crop only. However, no official in- dication is given of details. Reuter.

Chungking, To-day. Japanese reinforcements are being sent in large numbers to the "Manchukuo”-Outer Mon- golia border where the clashes are assuming serious propor- tions, states a Tientsin message.

According to foreigners riving in Tientsin from "Man- chukuo," fighting on the Khalha River has been even more se- vere than as described in press reports. Hospitals in Harbin are packed with wounded Ja: panese soldiers and several schools have been temporarily converted into hospitals.

Air raid precautions, they said, are taken in different big cities in "Manchukuo:"

With both sides rushing rein- forcements intensification of fighting on the border is ex- pected-Central News.
