...reason why the Dairen incident was not an incident is also a pretty reason -chiefly that the U.S., engaged with Russia in the battle for Europe, does not want a major test in the Far East...
...Scripps-Howard's William H. Newton. The first report came from Newton. His story: while her captain negotiated to land the businessman, the LC-3 1090 overstayed its 48-hour permit by two hours. Thereupon the Russians gave Commander Edgar Yates, senior naval officer aboard, an ultimatum: "Leave Dairen in 20 minutes or we won't be responsible for the consequences." The LC-3 1090 left...

Moscow again claimed that Russian forces had stayed in Manchuria at Chinese request, and alleged that "fascist" armies were being maintained in the U.S. and British zones of Germany. The Greek elections wavered toward postponement because of a leftist boycott; chancelleries puzzled what to do next with Rightist Dictators Franco and Perón.
