NOTE TO SOVIET.
MANCI-lUKUO ANNOYEE. ARREST OFIiuSSIANS. SHANGHAI, Sept. 11. Relations between the Soviet and Manchukuo are again strained as the result of the Tungsang incident six weeks ago, when Soviet secret service agents boarded the steamer Tungsang in Manchukuo waters and arrested ten Russian emigres, removing them to Soviet territory. It is stated that a Soviet armed detachment crossed the Usuri River, forcibly boarded the vessel, and carried off the Russians, including tho former Russian Prince Uklitomsky, whom the Soviet claimed belonged to a spying organisation. The Manchukuo authorities claim that the ten Russians were employed as a white piracy guard for the steamer, with no political affiliations, and now demand the immediate release of the emigres, the severe punishment of th Ogpu agents, an apology, and Soviet guarantees that there will be no repetition of the offence. The Note warns the Soviet? that there will he serious consequences unless an immediate reply is received.
