Shanghai, January 20.
Fears of a Japanese invasion of inner Mongolia are renewed by the action of the Japanese military authorities at Jehol in sending an ultimatum to the Chinese troops occupying a small area outside the northern loop of the Great Wall, east of Kuyuan. The Japanese authorities at Peiping admit that Japanese and Manchukuo troops are concentrating in western Jehol for the purpose of forcibly clearing out the Chinese unless the latter withdraw, but they deny any intention of invading inner Mongolia. Chinese officials declare that the Japanese action is unjustified as the territory is definitely part of the Chahar Province and in any case no Chinese regulars are there; only the local militia.
