eo,lsd Al the foreign office today anu
, v,ssS ,he British government to bring
s, s IA rear in order TO prevent
Pn.ss rom securing the necessary
s sSrs 10 the Manchurian agree
msSt The foreign office Is stu IN the
dark tonight as 10 whether the agree-
msnt uill be signed or allowed to lapse
~ben the time expires, March 70. me
officials Of the Japanese legation are
Inclined TO believe Russia will succeed
IN getting the necessary signatures,
TIE situation is still more oompll-
Gated owing to the fact ascertalned by
a representative Of the Associated
Press today, that there are two secret
treaties, one Of which Is TO be signed
at 81 Petersburg, dealing with Rus
sas military control Of Manchuria
and another. 10 be signed at Pekln,
dealing with her civil powers.
The Chinese appeals for support have
failed to produce and direct remon-
strances from Great Britain, or APP
parently. from any power to 81, Peters
burg, for Russia persistently adheres
10 her contention that the agreements
concern no one except herself and Chi
ma. On this ground, Great Britaln's re-
quests for copies OF the agreement was
abruptly declined.
Il is expected at the foreign office
here that II would be dangerous and
useless breach Of diplomatic procedure
70 endcavor to enter upon expostuIa-
tons with Russia. which would only
be based upon information supplied by
the Chinese.
10 other words the copies OF secret
treaties and alleged notifications of
them recently given to the powers by
me Chlnese, are worthless documents.
