RUSSIA AND JAPAN
PRELIMINARY TALKS TOKIO EXAMINING IDEA ATTITUDE OF CHINESE (Reed. Sent. 7, 10 a.m.) LONDON, Sept. 6. A .Moscow message states that foreign observers report that the Japanese Ambassador, Mr. Togo, and ■the Vice-Commissar of Foreign Affairs, M. Lozovski, have begun preliminary talks covering the RussoJapanese relations aimed at a settlement of outstanding friction. Mr. Togo said he understood that Tokio was examining the idea, but he was not instructed to take the initiative for a Russo-Japanese nonaggression pact. It is reported from Chungking that the Chinese Government is withholding any statement likely to be interpreted as indicating its attitude toward the European situation as the position is most complicated and delicate for China. The official army journal urges Russia to take more positive steps in the Far East now that her western frontier dangers are removed.
