under very easy terms, to Japanese

northern China"
In 1924 this administration pre-
pared an agreement with the Kokusy-
Unso, a Japanese transportation com
pany. If this agreement had been
carried out it would have handed all
the transportation facilities in Man
churia over to Japan, and linked them
up as integral parts of the great
steamship lines of that country. Com
bined with the fact that Japan in
recent years has made enormous in
vestments in Manchuria it is evident
that the proposed arrangement would
have made the Japanese the complete

The Russo Chinese treaty provided
not only for the exclusion OF the
representatives of other nations from
voice in the management OF the
railroad but also made specific ar
rangements for its executive stan.
These were included in a supple
mental agreement which provided that
until China should exercise it's right

money, a stipulation designed to
guard against the roads passing
under the control of hostile country

territory traversed; in other words,
it has control of the policing of the

superintends the operation Of the

AS a matter of fact, the new provi-
sions for the management of the road
practically confirmed the existing
status with the significant exception
that the Soviet governments ap-
pointees were to replace those Rus
slams who had been originally put in
charge by the Russo-Asiatic bank.
Ostroumov, Gondatti, and Mikhailov,
leading members of the former ad-
ministration, were at once removed,
together with more than 500 other
reactionary refugees who had been
placed on the railroads payroll.

ment in the administration Of the
railway, deprived the extensive
white" Russian bands, composed of
refugee aristocrats and bourgeois who
had fed from Russia after the Bolshe-
vik revolution, of base of operations
and thus led to the breakup and dis
persal of these gangs of cutthroats
and murderers.
The conflict for control Of the
Chinese Eastern railway is by no
means over. Soviet Russia, by her
prompt and decisive action, has won
a preliminary skirmish. She won it,
however, only for three reasons:
The first, because the red army is
ready for action and Chang Tso Lin
and his allies know it.; the second.
because the imperialist powers, and
particularly Japan, are not yet ready
and thoroly enough united to risk
conflict Of such proportions; and
the third, because of the danger of
vast Chinese uprising in support of
the Soviet Union and with the object
of freeing China completely from its
foreign shackles. There is perhaps
fourth reason-the danger of pre-
cipitating another world-war under
conditions unfavorable to the cap
italist nations.
