MOSCOW, u. S. s. R. (Tass) (By
MaiD THE Soviet Government has
never concealed and does not now
conceal its sympathy for the national
liberation movement in China" de-
clared Litvinoff, the vice-commissary
for foreign affairs, in his speech on
the foreign policy of the Union of
Socialist Soviet Republics at the clos
ing meeting of the central executive
committee of the Soviet Union.
"The development of the inherent
forces of this movement is proceeding
unchecked" he added. 1.-THE Soviet
Government, while sympathizing pro-
foundly with the efforts of the Chi
nese people to restore the sovereign
rights of China, nevertheless strictly
adhere to the principle of non-inter-
ference in the internal affairs Of
China. The Soviet Government will
persistently maintain a policy Of
friendship with China based on the
principle of equality, the respect of
sovereign rights and the maintenance
Of normal relations with the central
and local authorities of China. Karak-
han is the true interpreter of this
policy"
Approve Karakhan Policy.
Amidst the applause of the meeting
Litvonoff declared that the Soviet Gov
eminent firmly repudiated the insin-
uations Of the foreign press that the
policy conducted by Karakhan differed
from that of the Soviet Government.
1.-THE policy of Karakhan and Of the
Soviet Government is one and the
same," he said.
Disarmament Conference.
In the first part of his speech on
foreign affairs to the central executive
committee of the Union Of Socialist
Soviet Republics. Litvinoff dealt with
the situation in Europe. Referring to
the disarmament conference convened
by the league Of nations, he said that
the Soviet Government was still con-
WINGED that the leaders of the league,
| in insisting in converting the disarm-
ament commission in Geneva, intended
to exclude the Soviet Union from the
commission. But this dooms the work
of the commission to failure.
Treaty With Turkey.
1.-THE readiness of the Soviet Gov
eminent to conclude agreements of
neutrality and non-aggressfon similar
! 10 the one concluded with Turkey" he
said, sis sufficient proof that the ma
licious' assertions made in certain
quarters that the attitude of the Soviet
Government towards the Geneva
meeting was an attempt to conceal
her lack of desire to participate in
the disarmament commission are to-
tally devoid of foundation"
Treaty With Germany.
Litvinoff announced that treaty Of
neutrality had been concluded be-
tween Germany and the Soviet Gov
eminent. This was received by the
meeting with loud and prolonged ap-
plause. 1.-THE conclusion of similar
agreements with other countries"
added Litvinoff, would do more to Sc
cure general peace than all the meas
ures taken in the past and in the fu-
ture by the league of nations"
American Relations.
In his speech Litvinoff also referred
to America and stated that unofficial
information received from Washington
indicates that as a condition for the
resumption of relations with Russia
the United States government is de-
handing that the Soviet Government
recognize the loans granted by Amer
lea to the Russian provisional govern
ment; at the same time it is reported
that the United States government is
prepared to consider favorably Rus
sia's counter claims.
Business negotiations on such a
basis should present no difficulties"
said Litvinoff, "but resumption of re-
lations with Russia must precede the
negotiations of disputable questions"
Referring to the Soviet Polish rela-
tions, Litvinoff stated that the regula-
ton OF relations was being frustrated
by Poland's claim to speak on behalf
of the Baltic States. This the Union
of Socialist Soviet Republics cannot
recognize. The renewal of the Polish
Roumanian agreement reduces the
chances Of an agreement being
reached with Poland. This will be
possible only when decided change
came about in the policy of Poland"
he said.
