POSTAL RELATIONS SEVERED.
MOVE AGAINST JAPAN
MOSCOW, Jan. 27. The Government has decided temporarily to break off all postal relations with Japan'.from to-day. The decision affects mail in transit between Japan and other countries, as well as direct mail between .Russia and Japan. The reasons ior the break, are, first, the protracted unlawful detention by the Japaiiese and Manchukuan authorities of a large quantity of mail belonging to Soviet citizens; secondly, the detention of a mail plane and crew which, after losing its way, made a forced landing in Mancliukuo territory on December 19. The Soviet complain that there has been no satisfactory Japanese answer to repeated Soviet addresses on the subject.
