Suggestions of Japs Unacceptable to Reds
Reports from Chungking say Japanese Ambassador Naotuke Sato presented suggestions to Russia that the Soviet government found unacceptable, with a break into open conflict expected soon. No details of the suggestions were given, and they followed Shigenori Togo’s resignation as Japan's foreign minister last week. An army spokesman claimed China had no new knowledge of Japanese troop movements outside China, though other sources described a steady flow of Japanese forces from Manchukuo across the border from Siberia.
