Because distance is easier to determine than direction, first guesses had the quake almost everywhere-in Mexico, in Siberia, in the Black Sea, in the mid-Pacific. Finally, when the earthquake men were able to co-ordinate distances reported by several stations, their eyes popped. The circles they drew all intersected in Baffin Bay, between Greenland and northeast Canada. Never before had a major quake occurred within the Arctic Circle west of Greenland. If the epicentre had been in a populous area, observed the seismologists, the loss of life & property would have been tremendous...
News from two of the most interesting fronts of today has been choked off to a trickle lately. For the past fortnight almost nothing has come out of Germany except official announcements by the government; the state of the Russo-Japanese conflict in Siberia has completely dropped out of the papers.

Nothing, of course, is further from the Kremlin's mind than to leave the Vladivostok salient wholly unprotected, as Molotov said in so many words, discarding diplomatic disguise. It is perfectly true that the Soviet garrisons and the lower territory itself will be lost instantly when war begins: Manchukuo is so placed that the Japanese will have no trouble whatever in splitting...
