FAR EAST
MANCHURIAN WAR CLOUDS-
[BY CABLE —PBESS ASSN. —COPYBIGHT.]
(Recd- April 8, noon.) SHANGHAI, April 8-
The situation in Manchuria is rapidly becoming worse, and is fraught with the gravest possibilities. It is believed that they may eventually necessitate the Soviet taking measures to protect its interests along the Chinese Eastern Railway, from which it has already withdrawn the majority of the rolling stock. The massing of a large Soviet force along the Manchurian border, together with mobilisation of forces in the Baikal area, is regarded as highly significant.
A Tokio report states that the Government is contemplating emigrating 500,000 families to Manchuria and Mongolia in the next 1 ten years, involving over a million of people. Practically no progress was made at the local peace conference, which hAs virtually reached a stage of deadlock.
