POSTAL RELATIONS
RUSSIA AND JAPAN
SEVERED BY SOVIET
OTHER COUNTRIES AFFECTED
MOSCOW, January 27.
The Government has decided temporarily to break off all postal relations with Japan as from today. The decision affects mail in transit between Japan and other countries as well as direct mail between Russia and Japan.
The reasons for the break are, first, the protracted unlawful detention by the Japanese and Manchukuan authorities of a large quantity of mail belonging to Soviet citizens!, and, secondly, the detention of a mail plane and crew which, after losing,its way, made a forced landing in Manchukuan territory on December 19.
Russia complains there has been no satisfactory Japanese answer to repeated Soviet' addresses on the subject.
