A message from Shanghai states that following tactics previously so effective in China, a number of Communists of the Eighth Route Army
entered Manchukuo and organised villages against the Japanese and cut the Pekin-Jehol railway.
The Japanese are denuding North China of troops and are also despatching forces from Isingtao to Manchukuo instead of to Hankow in the hope of rectifying the position, which is strained by the situation on the Russian border. The trouble is becoming daily more tense.
The Istanbul correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says that considerable" interest is being attached to a week-end conference between Japanese diplomatic representatives in Russia, the Balkans, Egypt. Irak, Iran. Afghanistan and the Arab States.
It is reported that 1 Japan intends to intensify the anti-Communist activities in the Near East, where ill any event, she is trying to strengthen her political and economic influence.
