Foot Binders of Peiping.

Notwithstanding the agitation in
China to get the native women to aban-
don the footbinding custom 1t seems
that there are many who refuse to get
in line with the modern ideas. When
the campaign was we'll started the
statement was made that the women in
the cities were generally welcoming the
freedom that would result by the un-
bandaging of their feet, but it seems
that this is not the fact as shown by a
recent census in the city of Picking
This showed that the city was the home
OF 1,242,718 persons, which included
less than 1000 aliens. OF the Chinese
residents 518,014 are women and girls
and the census reveals that 81, ,025 of
them still bind their feet. Only 39l
men still wear the old-fashioned queues.

The text of the Russian Memorandum

The text of the Russian memorandum
made public in Moscow, follows:
The Union of Soviet Socialist Re-
publics from the first day of its ex-
istence has pursued a policy Of peace
and unlike other powers has never
reSorted to military action except as a
necessary step for defense due to direct
attack on the union or armed interven-
ton in its internal affairs. The Soviet
Union has consistently pursued this
policy and intends to pursue 1t inde-
pendently of the Paris pact for aboli-
ton of war.
During recent years the Marking
government. evading by its usual
methods settlement of the conflict by
diplomatic ways. has carried on toward
the Soviet Union a provocative policy
OF violation of the customary rules and
treaties notwithstanding the fact that
these treaties were not imposed on
China by force, but were concluded on
the basis Of full equality and free will
and that the Soviet Union voluntarily
surrendered in these treaties extra
territorial consular jurisdiction and
other privileges which the Chinese gov
ernment until now has been vainly
trying to abolish in regard to other
powers.
Charges Illegal Seizure.
"The climax of this policy was the
seizure of the Chinese Eastern Railway
without any warning or preliminary
Of any claims, in violation
OF existing agreements regarding the
joint administration of the railway.
THE Soviet government believes that
II action such as that of the Nanking
government were taken toward the
United States, Great Britain or France
it would be considered by their govern
ments suffcient cause for putting into
force reservations they made when
signing the pact.
THE Soviet government declared
when signing that it did not recognize
the reservations and did not intend to
use them.
THE Nanking government not only
resorted to illegal seizure of the Chi
nese Eastern Railway, but mobilized
along the Soviet Manchurian Railway
an army, various sections of which,
together with counter revolutionary
Russian bands included therein, made
systematic attacks on the U. S. S. r.,
crossing the frontier and firing on units

SOVIET PRESS SUSPICIOUS.
Central Railroad Sought by United
States, Is Claim.

MOSCOW, December 4 lR-Suspi-
cion and resentment were voiced today
in the Soviet press regarding the action
of the United States, Great Britain,
France and Italy in their notes regard
ing the obligations of the Kellogg pact
and at the attitude taken by the Nan
king government in China toward the
Manchurian negotiations.
There was even some slight skepticism
in Moscow circles despite the rapid
agreement reached by the Soviet and
Chinese representatives because thus far
1t is only paper agreement and needs
actual fulhlment of the promises said
to have been given by Mukden to re-
store the joint operations of the Chinese
Eastern Railway.
It is likely that in the near future
the Soviet government will appoint a
new manager and assistant manager of
the railway, who will take UP their
duties at Harbin.

Mr.. Mellon declared the Federal Re-
serve Board had endeavored to guard
against undue extension Of credit
through speculative channels and to
conserve the country's resources for the
purpose of meeting the future require
ments of industry and trade. He called
attention to the extension of group
banking and urged that Congress study
the situation. It was hoped, however
he said. that any further extension of
group and branch banking will pro-
legislation, either to liberalize or con-
strict limitations now in effect, will be
avoided"
Out of 8,707 banks in the Federal re-
serve system 354 were operating 1921

President Hoover and Secretary Stim-
son were informed of the Russian re-
sponse to Americas peace proposals last
night, but together with other high
oficers of the administration declined
to comment.
Subordinate officers of the State De-
partment, however, were not hesitant
about speaking their opinion of the
new turn in the Sino Russian situation.
Wonder was expressed as to how the
Governments effort to mobilize the
public opinion of the world in opposi-
tion to war in the Orient and to remind
China and Russia of their treaty COM
mitmentS could be construed as other
than purely in the interest of peace.
Particular significance was attached
to the phraseology of the passage as
serting that Russia could not regard
the American reminder as a friendly
act 1t was pointed out that in the
parlance of diplomacy this language has
come to acquire an especial emphasis
and import.

A letter from the Kanchow mission,
dated November 5,,said:
Conditions are uncertain. At Shing-
kuo, so miles from Kanchow, the Reds
are having glorious holiday of lootlng
and killing, establishing a Red govern
ment. Nobody dares molest them.
THE Reds in the Kanchow area total
many thousands. Communism has been
forced on the .Shingkuo people. Our
missionaries there were withdrawn and
are now at Kanchow. It is unlikely
they will return soon.
Unless there is an army present, no.
body can live with the Reds with Sc
curity."

MOSCOW, December R-The
Soviet government notified the United
States today it could not consider the
American note reminding the Russian
and Chinese governments of their Kel-
logg pact obligations as a friendly act" }"
In a memorandum handed the
French Ambassador, Maurice Herbette,
by Maxim Litvinoff, acting commiSSar
for foreign affairs, the Soviet govern
ment expressed "amazement that the
Government of the United States, which
by its own will has no of1cial relations
with the Soviet, deems it possible to
apply to it with advice and counsel"
In another place the memorandum
said: THE Soviet government states
further that the pact of Paris 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
themselves such a right"

"In view Of this fact" the memo
randum said, ''the declaration can
not but be considered unjustifiable
pressure on the negotiations and can
not therefore be taken as q friendly
act"
The Nikolsk- Ussuriisky protocol was
signed by Tsai -Shen fIarbin diplo-
matte commissioner for China, and M.
e1gn commisSariat at Khabarovsk, for
the Soviet Union. The 1924 treaties
which 1t recognized were signed at
Peking and Mukden and provided for
joint operation of the railway which
crosses Manchuria and provided a short
cut for the transsiberian service.
Liu win Be Dismissed.
Under provisions of the new protocol
chairman Liu OF the board of the rail-
way will be dismissed and the Russian
government will not insist upon REIN
statement of A. I. Emshanov and M
Elsmont as manager and assistant man
ager of the railway. Both posts will
be filled by Russians, however, and
both M. Emshanov and NJ Eismont viii
be appointed to other places on the
railroad
Tsai Yun-Shen in agreeing said the
Mukden government henceforth would
conform strictly to the agreements of
1924. M. Simonovsky accepted the
declaration with satisfaction and said
the Soviet government always had full
filled these agreements and would con-
tinue to do so in the future.
