Manchuria:
The Russian invasion continues. Russian warplanes bomb the city of Hailar,
125 miles inside the Russia-Manchuria border.
Soviet forces reportedly control a swath of territory 38 miles deep into
Manchuria. Meanwhile, Manchurian warlord
Zhang Xueliang, whose forces are also taking a beating at the hands of the
soviets, is reportedly seeking to negotiate peace with the Soviets
independently of the Chinese government.
Paris:
Negotiations get under way between Germany and France over the
Saar. The Saar is one of the regions of
southwestern Germany occupied by France after the World War. The treaties ending the war called for the Saar
to be occupied until 1935. France had
wanted to annex the Saar completely; Germany is hoping to negotiate an earlier
return. The treaties also gave France
control of the Saar’s rich coal industry.
France is therefore reluctant to give it up.
