""23?
(CP)
The
Japanese
government,
which
Is
reported
to
be
ready
to
mend
strained
relations
with
China,
turned
its
attention
today
to
Russian
armament
in
Siberia
and
told
Parlia
ment
that
that
was
the
reason
for
increased
military
expenditure.
General
Suglyama,
minister
of
war,
told
the
House
of
Representa
tives
that
Japanese
forces
were
decidedly
Inferior
to
those
of
the
Soviet's
Far
Eastern
army
which
he
said
now
totalled
fifteen
divisions.
The
spokesman
Indicated
that
the
government
had
modified
Chinese
policy
and
was
willing
to
shelve
demands
for
simultaneous,
settlement
of
all
Sino-Japanese
incidents
and
negotiate
separate
settlements
for
each.
This
modification
policy
In
regard
to
China
Is
believed
to
be
partly
due
to
the
I
steadily
growing
strength
of
the
Nanking
central
government.
The
government
is
putting
on
double
police
guards
and
taking
other
precautions
against
the
possibility
of
demonstrations
on
the
occasion
of
the
anniversary
of
the
armv
revolt
of
February
26
last
year.
