INCREASING TENSION
FAR EASTERN CRISIS SOVIET AND MANCHUKUO CHINESE EASTERN RAILWAY RAIDS BY THE JAPANESE F>y Telegraph—Presa Aaaocia’ion—Copyrijui Received April 25, 7.10 p.m. LONDON, April 23. The Times’ Riga correspondent states that Moscow reports increasing acuteness of the situation on the RussoManchurian frontier. Despite M. Karakhan’s Note asking what Japan meant by her recent actions, the Japanese continue their raids on the Chinese Eastern railway. The dispute ostensibly centres about the ownership of 124 locomotives and a quantity of rolling stock which tho Manchurians claim belong to them, but which have been detained by Russia. The Soviet officially states that the Japanese recently indulged in shooting on the frontier, and also captured locomotives and rolling stock which were proceeding to Vladivostock. Manchuria threatens to cut the railway unless the Soviet immediately returns the rolling stock.
