SPOKESMAN EXPLAINS BORDER ACTION OF JAPANESE TROOPS
(Continued from Page 1)
The Daily Telegraph, comment- ing on the situation, observes that neither Japan nor Sivlet Russle had
an interest in exaggerating the importance of the new border incident at Changkufeng. Japan especially would stand to gain far more by diplomatic settlement of the conflict than by war which would necessarily destroy herl whole plan of campaign in China. It would be impossible for Japan, according to the paper, to, wage a war on two fronts at the present time.-(Transocean),'
