Other papers, however, have asserted with surprise and some glee that conflict is approaching and apparently not unwelcome to either government. But despite the very considerable friction which has developed over the main source of trouble (the Soviet owned Chinese Eastern Railway), there seems to be little basis for forecasting a war.
