other nations will follow the exam
pie of Russia in raising their lesa-
ton here to the status of embassies,
the foreign minister, DR.. V. *. Well
ington koo, told newspaper men of
Peking today The Minister admitted
that foreign nations had been sound
ed out regarding the subject, but as
all had not yet responded, he re-
garded it as inexpedient to say
whether any had refused.
The question of precedence among
members of the local diplomatic body
raised by Russia's acceptance of the
project. for giving her new envoy
here the rank of Ambassador was
likely to prove interesting, DIR. koo
said, but not unique, similar situa-
tions having arisen in other coun-
tries.
l.. NJ. Karakhan, named as Russia's
frst Ambassador. who has been here
some time carrying on the negotia-
tions which resulted in Chinese rec
ognition of the Soviet Government
of Russia, is awaiting the conVen-
icnce of the President for presenta-
xion of his diplomatic credentials.
China's Ambassador to Moscow has
not been selected yet.
Conference Delayed.
The Sino-Russian conference to set
Gle questions connected with the two
countries relations not taken care of
directly in the recognition agreement
has been postponed to an indefinite
date, due to Russia's delay in naming
experts to participate in it, This
conference was to have opened July 1.
DR.. koo anticipates little difficulty
in settlement of the question of turn
ing over to the Soviets the legation
building formerly occupied by the
Czarist Russian Ministers in view of
the latest note from the diplomatic
corps here, which has charge of the
property. This note asked the of
fees of China in placing the new
Russian Ambassador in direct con-
tact with the diplomats. This service.
DR.. koo indicated, will be performed
gladly.
Discusses Railway Case.
Regarding the Chinese Eastern
Railway. the Minister said it never
was China's intention to infringe on
any legitimate claims. despite the
declaration in the Sino- Russian agree
ment that all matters pertaining to
the road were for the exclusive con-
Sideration of China and Russia. He
said that the Chinese view was that
all such claims would retain their
original status. He said he had no
knowledge of the merits of the Amer
ican claim against the road, aggre-
eating several millions of dollars, but
averred the attitude China took to-
ward 1t now was well understood in
Washington by virtue of supplement
tary explanations which had been
made.
He declared he saw no reason why
claims against the road should not
be preferred as before the signing of
the Sino- Russian agreement.
