In Moscow...
An armistice agreement is signed between Japan and the USSR ending their four-month-old "Nomonhan Incident" consisting of protracted fighting on the borders of Manchukuo (Manchuria) and Mongolia.

Peace talks were initiated by the new Japanese cabinet, appointed two weeks ago, after Japan lost 17,000 troops in one battle.
In Poland...
