PRESSING CHINA TO SIGN.
Russia Urges II CoucIusiOn of the
NunchGrIun Agreement

Russia Urges Conclusion of the
SEanctluriun Agreement
Information continues 10 come TO the
to the effect that Russia is exerting great
pressure on the Chinese TO compel them
TO sign the agreement giving Russia TEN
porary control Of Manchuria- One com
Tnunlcation is from United States Consul
General Goodnow, who has just returned
TO Shanghai after visit TO this country.
Consul Goodnow is said to recommend
that this Government join with England
and Japan in opposing the perfection Of
the agreement. But the United States
has already determined not 10 interfere.
and this decision mas been made known
10 China Informally through Special Com
missioner Rockhin, in PeIzin, and Min
lister wa, in Washington.
Mr. WI presented TO the State Depart-
| ment 4 memorandum appealing to the
United States to use its influence to pre-
| vent Russia from compelling China 10
sign the Manchurian convention, and it
was to this that the Informal answer Of
the Government was made
In view Of Russia-s adherence to the
principle OF not making any concessionary
agreement with China without the con-
sent Of all the other Powers the President
feels that any representation. such as
China desires, would indicate doub- Of
Russia's good faith in her adherence to
the principle Of unanimous action, and, in
addition would give that Government
great offence.
In addition to this reason the Govern
ment has another, and that is that China.
which now appeals 10 the Powers to save
her from signing the agreement, conduct
ed the negotiations secretly with the Rus
sian Government and TO that extent act
ed in bad faith with the other nations.
This attitude is displeasing 10 the Ameri-
can Government and 1t is understood that
China has been 50 Informed
II is now believed IN Official circles here
that the aggregate Of the indemnities de
manded by the Powers win not be more
than SzJo,oeae90. That appears to be all
that China can possibly pay. even with
reform in her revenue system.
This Government thinks that the aggre-
gate should not be more than -s15o.ooo.o00
hut has not been able 70 induct.the other
Powers, with the possible exception Of
Russia, TO take such 4 moderate view.
