(PART TWO)
Russians Stronger
But things had changed subtly.
Now, Russia had brought her in
dependent Far Eastern Army up
to strength in men and equip
ment and had built fortifications.
When her clashes with Japan
reached at peak at Lake Buir Nor
she boldly revealed her partner
ship in a mutual assistanc pact
with Outer Mongolia. Japanese ef
forts to open Outer Mongolia
promptly subsided.
The period of eased tension that
followed was utilized in further
settlment of the North Sea fisher
ies and North Sakhalin oil dis
putes.
The oil concessions were re
nweed in October, 1936. But when
Japan signed the anti-comitern
past in Berlin in November, Rus
sia angrily refused an eight year
fishery extension. She finally
granted one year privileges.
In mid 1937 Soviet and Japan
ese troops clashed at the Amur
river. Almost simultaneously
Japan opened her war on China,
and it became known that China
and Russia had a non-aggression
pact. Japan suspected Russia of
aid to China. From then on dis
putes came thick and fast.
Difficulties Grow
There were difficulties over the
working of the oil concessions.
Japan did not meet final payment
on the Chinese Eastern Railway.
There was a constant exchange of
diplomatic notes. Then came a
border clash at Changkufeng. Af
ter the customary reconciliation,
there was a decided curtaliment
of trade between the two coun
tries.
In 1939 when Russia signed a
non-aggression pact with Ger
J
many, Japan was left isolated. In
May, 1939, Soviet and Japanese
troops clashed at Nomonhanin in
Manchuria. By September the
Japanese had lost 18,000 men. In
1941 Japan signed the non-aggres
sion pact Russia had been offering
for the past decade.
