Moscow, Oct. 31
The Commissariat of Foreign Affairs is understood to have instructed the Soviet Embassy in Tokyo d the Soviet Consul-General in Harbin to protest to the Japanese and Manchoukuo Governments over the latest border clash between Soviet and Manchoukuo troops.
The Soviet version of the incident is contained in a report from Habarovsk, which says that a detachment of Manchoukuo troops on October 28 crossed the Russian border in the Posyet district and opened fire on a Soviet border patrol.
The Russians, the despatch adds, returned the fire and forced the invaders to retreat across the border.
