Wihout blare of trrnmpets or rise of public indignation, Japan has steadily pushed herself down into China from the north. Evidently learning a lesson from her disastrous invasion of Shanghai in 1932, when world public opinion was tuned against licr, Japan is now doing things quietly, suppressing all publicity, even to Japanese people. But Japan in her entrancte into north China and Mongolia also must reskon with Soviet Russia, with whom Japan has been in conflict for y:ars.
