Soviet Propaganda Defies Japan
LITVIN OFF PRESSES TOR j FRONTIER SETTLEMENT LONDON, Aug. 3. The Riga correspondent oi une Times says that mass-meeting resolutions defying Japan are pouring in. The Soviet considers that a settlement is likely or, at least, that the dispute will remain in abeyance similar to dozens of recent lesser Soviet-Japanese disputes. The Soviet Foreign Minister, M. Lit- ! vinoff, is reported to be pressing for h settlement of the frontier line, requiring, in the meanwhile, the with- ( drawal of the Japanese from Changku- . feng. I The Daily Telegraph’s Tokio correspondent says that the opinion prevails that Japan Intends to avoid war if that can be achieved without loss of prestige. The Daily Telegraph’s Moscow correspondent says that fighting continues without advantage to either side but has not spread to other sectors of the eastern front. A new and graver factor introduced 1 to Moscow to-day was the putting into gear of the immense machine of popular propaganda by the Soviet Press. Almost the entire space is devoted to standardised mass resolutions coached |p fierce language.
