BREACH | or FAITH / I
RUssIA's ACTION REGARDED As,
DIRECT ATTACK ON AMERl-
CAN POLICY.
THREE NATIONS VIII PROTEST
UNITED STATES WILL JOIN WITH
GREAT BRITAIN AND
JAPAN.
WILL GAIL A HALT ON RUSSIA
CHINA WILL BE URGED TO
TURN DOWN DEMANDS OF
CAR.

Washington, April 26. The dis,
patches from Pekin announcing the
terms which Russia has named to
China for the carrying out OF the
Manchurian agreement were read With
deep concern in diplomatic circles yesN
terday morning.
While the diplomats are not dis
posed, for obvious reasons, to publicly
comment on them, it is expected that
at least the United States. Great
Britain and Japan will join in firm
note to the Chinese government, III
sisting that China do not agree to the
conditions which Russia seeks to I'M
pose. It is rather expected in ,siplo.
matte quarters that the United States
will take the initiative possibly be-
cause of the prompt action taken by
Secretary Hay on one other occasion
when Russia sought to
Secure an Agreement
with China which was held by this
and other powers to be inimicable to
their interests. The interests OF the
United States, Great Britain and Jap
an in Manchuria are such, it is said,
az to bring these countries closely to-
gether in this matter.
Secretary Hay will take no action
In the matter until he has commune
Gated the facts to the president and
has learned the latters wishes.
The present impression here is that
the Russian action is distinct breach
OF faith with the United States. The
Russian government pledged itself
three times formally, and the docu.
ments are OF record, that the open
door should be maintained In Man
churia and Russian troops would be
Withdrawn as soon IS peace was re-
stored. Finally the latter promise
took the ahApe1N treaty stipulation.
