SUSPICIOUS FINDS
SOVIET CONSUL’S FORGED DOCUMENTS RAID MADE AT HARBIN (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) Reed. 11 a.m. SHANGHAI, Monday. An international issue is likely to result from the raid on the Soviet Consulate at Harbin, and the arrest of 40 persons, including the ConsulGeneral, and the seizure of documents. A Japanese message reliably reports the discovery among the seized documents of things likely to destroy Russia’s good faith in Japan and America —for instance, a quantity of Japanese official notepaper, a duplicate of the American Consulate’s seal, and forged American notes. It is alleged that these were used in forging passports and breaking and renewing the seals of official correspondence in transit by the Chinese eastern railway, effecting communications between the Communists. The Soviet Consul denies all knowledge of the articles, alleging that they were placed among the seized documents for the purpose of discrediting the Consulate. The Nanking Government announced today its determination to suppress Soviet influence throughout China.
