uussia ronaing
a Far East Army
to Defend Self
Admission Is Mode of the Fear of
Attack cn the Fart of the
Japanese.
Moscow. Soviet Russia admitted
Friday she was concentrating an
army near the far eastern Siberian
border to defend herself "against a
Japanese attack." The admission
was made in the government organ
Izvestia and was inspired by a state
ment of the Tokyo foreign office on
Feb. 29. As published here the for
eign office statement quoted the
Japanese consul In Vladivostok as
saying that soviet Russia was con
centrating large bodies cf troops and
munitions there and predicting a
"collision" soon between Japan and
Russia.
Asserting that the Japanese infor
mation was obtained from "foreign
ers" in Vladivostok, the newspaper
said the Japanese report clearly
showed "specific provacative aims"
and that it was unnecessary to deny
the prediction of a collision.
"It is much more interesting to
note that Japanese politicians are
trying to use information from
'poisoned wells instead of being
more attentive to facts as exempli
fied in our consistent peace policy,"
Izvestia said. "We have no reason
to conceal the fact that conditions
in the far east, emphasized by such
facts, compel the soviet union to
rtrengthen its defensive capacity and
the safety of its border, particularly
by increasing the army near the far
eastern borders. The most we can
do is to adopt all possible measures
to defend our frontier against out
ride attacks."
This first official admission that
Russia is engaged in defensive
maneuvers was also inspired by docu
ments attributed to high Japanese
military officials. These documents,
the newspaper said, proposed not
only the invasion of Siberia but a
combination with other nations in an
attack on the soviet union.
One of them as quoted by Izves
tia read:
"I (person unidentified) consider
it necessary to assume a firm policy
with relations to khe soviet union
and to be ready to 'start war at any
moment. The first purpose of such a
war must ho not only to protect
Japan against communism but to oc
cupy the soviet far east and eastern
Siberia."
The newspaper concluded: "These
facts indicate the increasing danger
of aggression against the. soviet union
from Manchuria, requiring vigilance
cn our part and necessary measures
of defense." State Journal.

DEFER MERCY FOR KIDNAPERS

3. For nearly fcur years Edward
Morris, 41, and Robert. Corbett, 33,
convicted Los Angeles kidnapers.
have been in prison awaiting oppor
tunities to voice parole pleas before
the state board.
Ey coincidence, their cases came
bilcre the board within 24 hours
after the kidnaping of Charles A.
Lindbergh, Jr. from Hopewell, N. J.
"Gosh," said Morris, "this is
a tcugh time to ask leniency."
"The terror of the New Jer
sey job," added Corbett. "is
enough to make us withdraw
our pleas. We're sorry for
Lindy."
The board postponed action on the
cases until next month, relieving
the urisoners anxiety.
The United State guarantees to
protect American lives and property
in Shanghai. This will make Shang
