the frontier and the peaceful popu-
lation, to take counter measures.
Thus the actions of the Red Army
had due considerations of self-de-
fense and were in no wise viola
tions of any obligations of the
Paris pact.
That cannot be said of armed
forces in Chinese territory and
Chinese ports of those powers who
have applied today to the Soviet
Union with identical declarations.
The Soviet Government states
that the government of the United
States has addressed its declaration
at a moment when the Soviet and
Mukden governments already had
agreed to several conditions and
were proceeding with direct nego-
tiations which would make possible
prompt settlement of the conflict
between the Soviet Union and China
In view of this fact the above
declaration can not but be consid-
cred uniustifiable pressure on the
negotiations, and can not therefore
be taken as friendly act.
The Soviet Government states
further that the Paris pact does not
give any single state or group of
states the function of protector OF
this pact. The Soviet, at any rate.
never expressed consent that any
states themselves or by mutual
consent should take upon them
selves such a right.
I The Soviet Government declares
| that the Soviet -Manchurian conflict
can be settled only by direct nego-
/ tiations between the Soviet Union
and China on the basis of condi-
tions known to China and already
accepted by the Mukden govern
ment, and that it cannot admit in
reference of any other party in
these negotiations or the conflict.
! In conclusion, the Soviet Govern
ment cannot forbear expressing
amazement that the government of
the United States, which by its own
will has no official relations with
the Soviet, deems it possible to ap-
ply to it with advice and counsel.
