The disposition TO look for Interior mo-
lives I'm Russias plans is met by the
statement, in authoritative quarters. that
such suspicious show lack of familiarity
with Russias traditional friendship with
China. II is pointed out that the two
countries have lived as neighbors since
1914. and that their relations have not been
as traders. each pushing commercial en-
terprise into the territory OF the other,
but as border friends. II is stated that
this brought about the agreement over the

ficial to Russia. also helped China TO de-
velop the resources Of Manchuria. In seek
