Hopei Province Added to Japan's Sphere of Influence
Non Japanese quarters in Tokyo say Hopei province of China has been absorbed into Japan's influence sphere. Reports note Japanese army action with lukewarm Tokyo government backing. An incident on the Manchoukuo border left a Russian cavalry sentry dead, with Russia claiming it occurred on Russian soil and Japan asserting it happened in Manchoukuo. Chiang Kai-Shek remained distant in west China amid anti-Communist campaigns as Chinese papers largely stayed silent. Hopei may act as a buffer between Manchoukuo and China.
