The name of Borodin was mentioned
repeatedly at the time British were
negotiating with Eugene Chen, the
Cantonese foreign minister, after the
anti-British outbreaks at Hankow
some months ago. 1t was charged that
the Russian was prompting Chen to

resentative to issue a statement that
he was not, and never had been. in the
Soviet service and had no relations
with the Soviet government, but was
invited years ago to act as adviser to
the Canton government.
