L
and Russia will deal with the ques-
ton Of the Chinese Eastern Railway
in which only the two countries Of
Russia and China are concerned.
This is a right which properly rests
in the two governments of China
and Russia.
Furthermore, the note declares
that the temporary arrangement be-
tween China and Russia concerning
the Chinese Eastern Railway is not
prejudicial to the rights of the vari-
Gus powers. The Chinese govern
ment considers that there is no need
for excessive anxiety in reference
to the points raised by the Ameri-
can government"
Refer Hughes to Russia.
Translated into plain English, this
note-which bears the earmarks Of
Karakhan, the Russian envoy, in its
humorous brevity- tells Mr.. Hughes
that China refers him to Russia for
further discussion of the bill for S.
100000 for railroad operation during
hostilities against the Russian gov
ernment. It assures him that the
treaty between China and Russia
wipes out the temporary helplessness
Of China in discussing Far Eastern
matters with Washington, and that
China feels sure that Hughes will I'M
ierstand that his claim will have to
take its turn with the great number
Of other heavy claims against the rail-
road which Russia will present in due
time. Russia's claims were incurred
when the road was built; they are a
arst lien on the property China re-
pudiates nothing; it merely asks Mr..
Hughes to take his place at the tail
of the procession Of creditors, and see
what is left for him when he reaches
lhe pay-counter.
Hughes Doesn't Like It.
This is precisely what Mr.. Hughes
lid not want to hear. He broke in
upon the Russo-Chinese treaty nego-
iations with a demand that China
make no deal with Russia which did
iot first satisfy his $4,000 900 claim.
II China had fatty repudiated the
claim, Hughes could have raised a
ltorm. But China merely referred him
10 the Russo-Chinese governmental
partnership. He must deal with
partnership in which Russia is the
chief partner. And Hughes knows
MAT Russia is eagerly waiting to dis
iuss this claim with him, on its me-
hts, as a part OF the whole subject of
American invasion Of Siberia. He
Knows that Russia may be making
leal with China whereby the Russian
claims against the railroad will be so
Icaled down as to make II possible
br China to buy the property as a
bankrupt concern. Hence the Hughes
hift of ground and his argument that
american operation of the road saved
china from the slamming of the open
loor" by Japan
