Russia To Grab Bessarabia Next ?

(Received 10 a.m.) NEW YORK, November 30. DIPLOMATIC REPORTS RECEIVED IN WASHINGTON INDICATE THAT A QUICK MOVE TO TAKE BACK BESSARABIA FROM RUMANIA WILL FOLLOW THE RUSSIAN ATTACK ON FINLAND.

The 'Soviet has sanctioned ai at 10.000 feet altitude at Hweiyv Mountains, where training is earr

r bases in China, including a base tar. . northward of the Tienshan ied out in.high altitude flying.

Hint at Attacks on Japan

The Soviet also has air bases at Hami, Ansi, Kiuchuan, Winwei, and Lanchow.

These preparations hint at air attacks on Japan proper in the springtime, in an attempt to force an agreement as to zones of influence in China.

Russian pilots at Chentu are reported to be threatening to attack the Japanese in China if they decline to negotiate.

Tokio newspapers sympathise with Finland, and regard her fate as a warning of the small value of Soviet non-aggression pacts. The “Nichi Nichi Shimbun” sees an ultimate threat to Germany, and the “Yomiuiri Shimbun” says the Soviet attitude toward Finland is a lesson for Japan which is also a neighbour of Russia.
