STATE DEPARTMENT

Washington, Jan 21.-Press kilograms

had been called TO the Capitol, nut
there is good reason to believe from
unofficial sources that the state depart
ment for some days has been In pos
session of the information that the ac-
tion announced by Japan and Russia
today might be looked for.
There Is no doubt that this result
of Secy. Knox's effort 10 eliminate the
Manchurlan railways from the policies
of the far east. thus minimizing the
danger OF war, is a keen disappont-
ment to the officials Whether the
matter will end with the action of
Japan and Russia is problematIcal
1t is believed to be quite possible
that with the rejection OF the proposi-
ton to ncutrallze the railways in
Manchuria owned by Russia and Japan
the United States may turn its atten
tlon to- the question OF financing, in
conjunction with Great Britain and
other European nations. the construc-
tion OF the proposed railroad which will
run from Chin Chow Fou TO Tsitsilhar.
This road will tap the Russian trans
Siberian road at Tsitsikhar
This proposition formed a part of
Secy Knox's alternative neutraliza-
ton plan and II seems probable that
all OF the powers, including Russia and
Japan, may signify IL they are willing
to cooperate with the United States IN
neutrallzing this particular road.
