The reports, which are believed to be well founded, state that Foreign Ministry presented this demand in a letter addressed to the Soviet Consul-General in Harbin.

Not only is the withdrawal of troops demanded, but the Manchukuo authorities also insist on the destruction of the barbed-wire entanglements and barracks which were erected by the Soviet on Manchurian territory during the conflict in 1929.--Reuter.
