SHANGHAI, ' - March 1
Heavy movements of Japanese
troops to Sakhalin Island and
Manchoukuo, Japan s protector
ate bordering- Soviet Russia, -were
reported today by neutral for
eign military observers to have
been under way for the past
week. -
The , reports aroused, aome ap
prehension because4 they coincid
ed with a. bitter dispute between
Japan -and th Soviet 'Union over
Japanese 'fishing 4 rights off the
east "Siberian coast.
Though Japan normally sends
about 60,000 'men as replace
ments, for its Manchoukuo gar
risons during-" March each year,
it was noted that present troop
movements .were all toward the
frontier-, and no relieved troops
were returning. . : - - -.
foreign military observers said
two? Japanese divisions, of ' an
estimated- stotal of 40,000 men.
had? landed oir Sakhalin Island,
owned half by Japan and half
by Soviet Russia.
Two other divisions landed' at
Manchoukuo - pons during the
week, these- reports said, and
were crushed -immediately to the
Soviet frontier. ,
'. Most Of the troops "were said
to have come from Japan proper,
and since few fresh troops were
moving into north China, a slow
lng down of Chinese-Japanese
hostilities might result. .
Japanese continued . an offen
sive -northward along the . Han
river and carried on mopping-up
maneuvers in northern Klangsu
province, Shantung and Shansl
but otherwise the war areas were
comparatively quiet. - "
