The Kwantung Army's mouth-

plece, the "Manchurian Dally News, declares the Soviet is pres paring for an attack "when the right moment comes,"

The paper warns the Soviet tu remember that "two powerful nations will form the opposition ber: Japan and Germany.'!

Meanwhile, the Manchukuo Outer Mongolian situation, con- tinnes to be clouded by a smoke screen of apparent propoganda. But the public here has been made to understand that Manchukuo : Is. ready to use force, if compelled to,
