STIMsON'S REPLY TO RUSSIA
Secretary Of State Contends That Pecedents to Prove
American Action for Peace Was Not Unfriendly.

ment regards the pact of Paris as a
covenant which has profoundly
modified the attitude of the world
toward peace and because this Gov
eminent intends to shape its own
policy accordingly.
In the language Of the Joint state
ment issued by the President of the
United States and the prime minister
of Great Britain on October 10 last,
both our governments resolve to &C
cept the peace pace not only as a
declaration of good intentions but as
a positive obligation to direct nation
al policy in accordance with its
pledge"
The present declaration of the au-
thorities of Russia that they are now
proceeding with direct negotiations
which will make possible settlement
of the conflict is not the least sig
nificant evidence to show that the
public opinion of the world is live
factor which can be promptly mobil-
lied and which has become a factor

mar to the identic notes sent the
United States, France and Great Britain
Tuesday. In these it was stated that
the Soviet could not consider their re-
minder of the Kellogg pact obligations
as q friendly act, and that no nation,
or nations, were empowered as pro-
tectorS of the pact. That to America
had an added paragraph expressing
amazement at Americas deeming it
polite to offer advice to a nation with
which it has no relations.
Litvinoff emphasized that the declara-
ton of the United States and other
countries to Russia was considered by
the Soviet government as unjustified
interference in Russian affairs.
1.-THE Soviet Union, unlike other coun-
tries, rejected extraterritorial rights and
privileges in China" he said, land 1t
would seem strange why, under this
circumstance, the Marking and Muk-
den governments took the path OF Vio-
lence with provocationS toward Soviet
Russia.
ut is explained by the simple fact
that the start and further encourage
ment of actions of the Marking govern
ment originated from the imperialistic
camp The Chinese generals threw
the challenge to the Soviet govern
ment only because they were backed by
LIlC lHC1ld1LSb1C POWClS dAAA NOAAOSAO0S
of the Soviet Unions desire for peace.
Therefore the powers encouraging the
actions of Marking should carry the
collective responsibility for the Chinese
Russian conflict"
Says Drastic Steps Forced.
NJ. Litvinoff referred to activities OF
the Red army, saying that continued
assaults and provocations by the Chinese
had forced the Soviet soldiers to take
drastic measures, which would not only
drive the Chinese from the Soviet
border, but also would destroy white
guard or counteT-revolutionary bands
located further inland.
The commisSar questioned the right
Of the United States and other sigma
tories of the Kellogg pact for renuncla-
ton of war to assume the role OF pro-
tectors of the pact" and he declared the
only source of information Secretary
Stimson had on the Manchuriar mat
ter was the Chinese Ambassador at
Washington, because we lack Soviet
representative in the United States who
could present adequately our viewpoint.
I'VE do not intend to retreat single
inch from the minimum conditions put
forth in the earlier stage of the con-
f1ict," he said. Believing in the cor
rectness of our position and the strength
of the Far Eastern Red army, we are
sure our conditions will be fully accepted
and our policy justified"

MUT|NY IS SEEKING
CHANG OVERTHROW
Marking Learns Disorders
Started at PukoW Tuesday
Are Serious.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NANKINC, December 5.-The capital
of the Nationalist government awoke
this morning to learn that the dis
orders which started at Pukow Tuesday
with the mutiny of portion of the
oath Division had developed into q
serious situation interpreted as a pow
erful movement against the government
and seeking the downfall of President
Chang Kai-Shek.
AS the result of overnight develop
ments the uprising now is admitted in
all quarters to be serious. Chang, who
is head of the Nationalist military
forces as well as President, ordered por-
lions of three divisions at Marking to
cross the Yangtse River and undertake
to subjugate the mutineers.
Movement of the loyal troops was
begun at once and approximately $4,000
men already have crossed. Others are
waiting to move. About 5000 troops
are available here.
Apparently authentic reports from the
mutineers said their operations were
growing instead of diminishing. AL
though this information could not be
verified, it was reported the insurgents
had gained control of the Tientsin-
Pukow Railway from Wuyi, IS miles
north of Pukow, to Manhsuchow, 1875
miles further north, giving the rebels
sway over 125 miles of line and par
alyzing traffic.
1t is now believed that an entire body
of 10000 men, formerly with the Kuo-
mlnchun, or peoples army" but which
last year was incorporated into the Ma
tionalist military forces, is involved in
the disorders.
AS result of the developments, the
uprising has assumed deep political sig
nificance, interpreted as a movement
aimed against the authority of the Ma
tionalist government.

the State armory. as it is certain that
many attending the ceremonies will not
be able to gain entrance to the building.
Chairman Jennings of the parade
committee stated that the bridge over
the railroad tracks here, near compile

poses, but that it would not be opened
south of the railroad crossing. Pedes-

on decorations, will have American flags
and bunting placed on the bridge and
also at the entrance to the State ar

also be appropriately decorated.
On the reviewing stand in front of

niissar Of foreign affairs for Russia, is
as follows:
I have seen the text of the Rus

press.
Between co-signatories of the pact
of Paris 1t can never be rightly
thought unfriendly that one nation
calls to the attention of another its
obligations or the dangers to peace
which from time to time arise.
AS far back as The Hague con-
vention of 1899, the nations of the
world agreed that strangers to a dis
pute, on their own initiative, could
make suggestions looking for peace
between states which were at vari-
ance and that the exercise of that
right is not to be regarded by the
parties in conflict as an unfriendly
act. This was reaffirmed again in
1907 and has been the recognized
rule ever since.
