SOVIET DEMANDS
ADDRESSED TO JAPAN CARDS WANTED ON TABLE. REGARDING SIBERIAN POSITION, (Received This Day, 12.20 p.m.) LONDON, August 12. “The Times’’ Shanghai correspondent learns that Soviet representatives 'have gone to Tokio and are definitely demanding that Japan put her cards on the table and conclude a non-aggression pact with the Soviet, without reservations and clauses which might be interpreted as a benefit to either in unusual circumstances.
The signing of such an agreement would immediately divorce Japan from the Axis Pact. Although Japan has been rushing extra troops to Manchuria and. she is now estimated to have a force of 350,000 there, the three Far Eastern Soviet armies, with headquarters at Vladivostok. Khabarovsk and Chita, are estimated to number at least 500,000. These armies are absolutely independent of European Russia as regards arms, munitions, food and repair bases and are reported to be superior to the Japanese forces.
