Russia seemed to be part of the answer. Disputes over broad-gauge rolling stock held at the Soviet end of the Chinese Eastern Railroad, thus crippling service, were growing daily more acute (TIME, April 24). On the other side of the line Soviet troops were reported massing in numbers to equal the Japanese. In both Tokyo and Moscow foreign correspondents hurried from department to department, came to the simultaneous conclusion that all this was largely shadowboxing. A Soviet railroad in Japanese territory is an anomaly. Soviet officials realize this and are willing to sell but want much more money than...

Thirty-five troop trains had bellowed down from Mukden, Japan's Manchurian war base, to the borderlands of Jehol where railways end. Japanese, though they have never held Jehol, claimed it as part of their puppet state "Manchukuo." Last week Japanese were pained by what seemed to them the ignorance of Western editors in printing such headlines as this in Manhattan's Herald Tribune: JEHOL INVADED BY JAPANESE, CHINA LEARNS. On the contrary, Imperial Japan claimed to be "repulsing" from Jehol soldiers who by their mere presence there were clearly bandits and invaders of Manchukuo...
