FRIDAY, AUGUST 19, 1938. NEVADA CITY NUGGET RUSSIAN ~ HELPS CHINESE: Border incidents between the U; S. R. R. and Japan have ‘been as. common as fleas. since 1931, but the! recent large-scale difference of op. inion over an obscure hill in the . Changkufeng area gained international significance by coming at time when the balance of power precarious both in China and Europe. Within a period of three weeks man to man pot shooting gave way to artiHery barrages and aeriag bombings. A sullen and dubious . truce -halted the action on August . 11, with white hot troops at bayonet point in the heart of the disputed territory. a} } sudden flare-up stand out from the t suggestion that . the China fronts, the Kwantung army no position to play up. the .

The most. effective way of scrotching the transfer, slowing down the Hankow offensive, and pehaps hammering home nail in Japan’s coffin was to provide a, sizeable counter attraction. Knowing the touchy temper of the Kiwantung army, Red troops orcupied the strategic hill in the Khangkufeng area, and the fat was in the fire. Thus mrovoked, the cocky Kwantung army reacted violently. Far from sending Kwantung tvoors to the Hankow front, Japan at once began dispatching troops to the new trouble zone. Result was that Hankow had a breathing spell and Chinese guerillas organized new attacks on Japanese lines up the Yangtze. On balance‘ The two explanations seem to be a toss up. Whichever is correct jittery Britain and other interested neutrals found the net result of the! incident gratifying. Far Eastern wiseacres: jall along have felt that the current China war is a struggle for supremacy between Britain and Japan—with China simply the British cat’s paw. The op. portune involvement of Japan in a . border brawl was just what ‘the doc. tor ordered to haul the fire out from . under Chamlberlain’s Chinese chest‘nuts, Quite aside from this direct in. terest, it may have been a source of ' satisfaction to Britain’s current government that Japan and: the USSR, drive on wers BOYS SLIPOVER SWEATERS SMART AND 98° TOPEFLIGHTS!.

American house wives may get an inkling/of what it means to from the following paragraphs of a recent letter from Japan. : “The new regulations on staple ‘iber or ‘sufu’ as the Japanese call . it, have gone into effect. No cotton goods for domestic consumption can be manufactured or sold—not even part cotton. Everything must be : completelly made of sufu.

A/. new soap has made its appearance, together with a new method of washing which is said to be fairly successful—something’ of the same method as is suggested for cheaper Yayons in the states—dipping only —no wringing, etc, not even ’squeez. ing.

With the restrictions on cotton, leather, rubber, etc., it is estimated that between 800,000 and 1,000,000 will be thrown out of employment.” (From Japan under date of July 10, 1938.)
