§ 9. Commander BELLAIRSasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in view of the necessity of ascertaining under the Kellogg Pact whether either Power is waging offensive or defensive war, whether he can state if any Chinese forces or aircraft have been ascertained as raiding over Soviet Russian territory; and what is the greatest distance inside the Chinese frontier that Russian forces have advanced to and aerial bombardments carried out?
Mr. A. HENDERSONI have received no official report of raids by Chinese troops or aircraft over territory of the Soviet Union. According to my information Soviet troops advanced as far as Chalainor some 50 miles within the western frontier of Manchuria, and Soviet gunboats raided Fuchin, 50 miles within the northern frontier. Pokutu, about 200 miles from the frontier, was bombed by Soviet aircraft.
