\ FRONTIER CLASHES NEUTRAL OBSERVERS DESIRED ;; FEAR OF SOVIET SUGGESTED AS REASON \ {trtrtTSO PSBB3 ISSOCUWOIf—COPIBIBHT.) (Received February 17, 10,31 p.m.) LONDON, February 17. The Tokyo correspondent of “The Times"’ describes “kite-flying” which, may herald a change in the relations between-Russia and Japan. It is ; reported that officials are now considering a short term pact with the idea of ending frontier incidents between Russia and Japan, It is also announced that the army will welcome neutral observers on a commission to investigate the incidents. Both suggestions imply the admission that the Japanese army s Russian policy has failed. . ; “The Times,” ina leading article,attributes Japan’s restraint of the , Kwantung army to Russia’s strengthened position in the Far East, where the Soviet has greatly, increased its forces, while its air fleet is superior to the Japanese in number and quality.' Moreover, communications to the East are rapidly improving. A provocative policy against such a neighbour is dangerous. •
