Soviet Masses Troops on Manchurian Border
China Sends Gunboats and Marine to Protect City of Amoy
Tokio, April 18—(UP)—Concentration of 70,000 soldiers troops on the Manchurian island of Liaoyang in preparing to fight "either defensively or defensively," a government spokesman said today. His state statement, released Tuesday, in New York World-Telegram editorial warning against the effect of American toleration of Japanese aggression in Asia.
The editorial had indicated strengthening of "these militants" might lead them to attempt aggression in Soviet Russia, and it should be noted such action would be a Russian-Japanese war, chiefly because of a belief in Tokio that America would tolerate such an attack. It was the inability of Japanese aggression against the Soviet government, but said the Japanese would intervene in event of a clash between the Soviet and the new West.
"There is no use shupping our eyes to the fact that the Soviets are dissatisfied with Japanese aid and attack." Now that Soviet concentrations have been completed, the Reds are resorting to provocation and violence, which will cause a clash, but it cannot be denied that in event of a clash between the Red Army and Japanese movements, the Jacuzes would intervene.
“If there are any more acts such as the wreck of the troop sequences, we have to deal with it through the dispatch of Soviet troops shows that there is a new kind either of intensely or defensively.

Officials, However, Say 'National Defense' Is Reason
Moscow, April 18- (UP) -Soviet concentration on the Marshian frontier were admitted by Moscow officials. Thorough preparations have been made for national defense. The press gave no mention that the Soviet would not be unprepared.

And the authorities mentioned any soviet connection with the reckless wrecking of a Japanese troop train in Manchuria, but insisted it was engineered by White Russian emigrants. It is also suggested that military authorities with the object of provoking war with Russia.

The main article of the sheet is a three column story entitled "Right or wrong in the knee" by the writer's counsel is told. It was signed by Russell Strobel, F34, president of this year's council. A bipartisan group of Pacchacam nominee for president of the council for his stand in this year's council against the book store bill
Bowen Makes Attack
Another, article bearing the head "Sun-setter's platform" says "Pachacamac is in a desperate fix as is shown by their offering as a candidate. Harold Denton, a non-profit man for the First National Council for the first time in history."
A statement accused the Oread-Kay hawks of continued mud-slinging, and an article in The Times bookstore kill of last week was made this morning by Carl Bowen, c22, FachSpaces.
After reading through the K-O Bulletin I feel that the boys of the opposition are still trying to throw plenty of mud with very little said about just what they have accomplished. I am glad their accomplishments very much because they haven't done very much that they could bring about this late in the game, and they practically admit this much in the article headed Right or Wrong?
Bowen Accuses O-K's
They have also carried out their complete plan of mud-laliling by making rather subtle remarks about the Pachacamaca candidate for president of the University General. The Pachacamaca party feels that they are stooping mighty low to try and conquer, for anyone that knows Harold Dent realizes that he is one of the finest leaders in the country. The Pachacamaca party would help the student body he would be for to the end. We understand his stand completely after reading the tool-hardy bill or rather sit down of paper that you can prepare yourself trying in vain to fill at least one of their platforms. The Pachacamaca party is in favor of a student book store, but under the present policies it is possible to open one up without money and that is just what the council proposes to do. Might they kindly explain how they are going to run a university or run any business on credit, especially when you are asking for credit, not giving it."
