CHINA WON'T ACCEPT
RIGHTS FROM REDS
No Trustees Of Concessions
GiUen to Czcrist Russia.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10---Informal ne
gotiations entered into with other Pow
ers by the United States with view to
protection of Russian rights in China
have reached only a very tentative stage.
1t was learned to-day that no form of
International trusteeship of Russian
rights in China. as proposed by one Of
the Powers, will be undertaken.
Since the State Department initiated
these negotiations 1t has had assurances
by the Chinese Foreign Office that the
Pekin Government has no intention OF
accepting the return of Russian rights
and concessions in China as proposed
by the Bolsheviki.
The United States, 1t was explained
to-day, in no way sought to place the
mark of validity upon these concessions,
wrested in many cases from the Chinese
Government by force.
The American Government has taken
the position that China should suspend
any action in the matter of disposing of
Russias rights so long as Russia is in
the throes of internal disorder. 1t Is
not believed that China, any more than
japan or any other country. for the sake
Of self-intcrest. should take advantage
% the def nee ess position in which Rus
sia has been temporarily placed by the
acce ssion to power of the BolshevilSi.

that the directorate be limited TO en-
caging foreign artists who pass through

At the same time the operate COM

filated with the labor union are talk
irg about demanding that the operas OF
foreign composers also be barred from
~ oductions at the Opera Comique. which
would exclude the works of Mozart

be excluded because. although he Is
