In view of certain misconstruc-

explain that the Russian government,
in concluding the agreement, clearly
made it understood that they had in
view only a joint political action in
China for the special purpose of pro-
teCting that country as well as Russian
and Japanese interests there against
German plots and intrigues and the
undue development of German influ-
ence-so that the principles of the
