"We wish we did know," General Yu Hauch-chung, governor of Hopel Province, which borders Manchukuo on the north, told the United Press.

"The Japanese are a very sly and clever people and their lust for more territory seems to be bound- less," General Yu said. "It is im- possible to forecast their next move or to obtain an accurate long-term view of their Intentions."

Mr. Fulton said that Burges had three documents with him, and it was grossly improper for them to be communicated to anyone.

Weeks after the official and "satisfactory" settlement of the Charhar-Jahol frontier dispute at the conference in Tatan, Japanese military planes flew over Tushih- kow and dropped handbills saying the Kwantung Army was prepared to "smash the Chinese army and ovan occupy Kalgun" if the Chinese sollers made any more trouble.
