CHINESE COMPLAINT
RUSSIA AND JAPAN Chungking, June 11. The newspaper “Takung Pao” expressed regret that the Anglo-Russian-United States agreement did not provide for operations in the Pacific, and cited the Russo-Japanese neutrality pact as a stumbling block to effective dpfence in the Pacific against the Japanese menace in which Russian cooperation was urgently needed. The newspaper said the Japanese were taking advantage of the neutrality pact at present and attacking American possessions near Russian territory. “It is extremely regrettable that the Russians did not even supply the United States with such information,” said the “Takung Pao.” “Russia and America are Pacific Powers. Why have not they yet arranged co-opera-tion against the Japanese onslaught in the Northern Pacific?” The newspaper concludes the United States should insist on immediate military and naval co-operation in the Pacific with Russia.
