Creation Foreshadowed By Japanese INNER MONGOLIA Co-operation Offered By Leaders By Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyright. 'Received October 21, 1.25 a.m.) Peiping, October 20. 1 semi-official Japanese statemen foreshadows the creation of an inner Mongolian State as a buffer between North China and the Sovietised Outer Mongolia. It asserts that following the Japanese military successes in Suiyuan province many Mpugojran leaders offered to co-operate and aid in the emancipation of the Mongols from Chinese thraldom and to oppose Communism’s southward march. I'rince Tehwang, chief of the Mongols in the autonomous province of Chahar and commander of the Mongol armies, is mentioned as the probable head of the proposed State. He has already visited the Japanese Ambassador at Potow to thank him for the Japanese deliverance of Sunyuan and he assured him of the Mongols’ assistance in ensuring lasting peace and checking alike the Chinese militarists and Communists. Observers point out that the campaign in Suiyuan was skilfully manoeuvred to enable the Mongols to have the credit for victories while the Japanese troi»s remained in,the background.
