SOVIET DEADLOCK
EXCHANGING PRISONERS
ADJUSTMENT EFFORTS
(Reed. Oct. 25. 9 a.m.) NEW YORK, Ocf. 23,
The Moscow correspondent of the New York Times, Mr. G. E. R. Gedye, says that the reported breakdown of negotiations between Russia and •Japan in Outer Mongolia is really a dispute concerning the scope of the exchange of prisoners embodied in lie recent armistice.
The Soviet contends that it includes Russian airmen and others imprisoned n Manchukuo. The Japanese insist that it does not. Hence the deadlock.
A report that negotiations are proceeding at Moscow at present to see whether a wide settlement is possible cannot be confirmed. The cessation of propaganda suggests that both sides ire preparing an atmosphere in which wider adjustments will be possible.
However, the Japanese have really set their hearts on a settlement with .he United States, since they distrust lussia. The Japanese believe that the European war will practically eliminate British and French competition in China.
