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

Europe. Within a period of three
weeks man to man pot shooting gave
way to artiHery barrages and aeriag

.neither one so very popular,
Moscow knew Tokyo was
finagling to reduce the Kwantung
army’s complement of men and material and to transfer part of it to
China for the final Hankow. 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.

. border brawl was just what ‘the doc. tor ordered to haul the fire out from

“The fact that tabi (socks with a
