Soviet Union, is reported to have
released the following account Of
exactly what has taken place:
"The Chinese Eastern Railway
embroglio has been settled between
Manchurian authorities and Soviet
Russia. On November 81, former
attache of the Soviet Consulate at
Hardin and a Russian translator ar
rived at Harbarovsk Ton Soviet
SOLD, accompanied by Chinese
military colonel, who delivered an
official declaration from the Chinese
Commissioner of Foreign Affairs at
Hardin, stating that he had been
authorized by both Marking and
Mukden to open negotiations for
liquidation of the conflict.
"The Chinese Hardin Commits
sioner requested the Soviet to ap-
point a representative. One Russian
returned to Hardin bearing the So
Wet reply, which Stated that Russia
desired a peaceful settlement, but
considered negotiations impossible
until the Chinese agreed to the con-
ditions in the Soviet Governments
july IS ultimatum-viz., reinstate-
ment of the Russian manager and
vice-manager of the Chinese East
ern Railway and the release OF So
Wet prisoners in China.
"The Hardin Chinese Commits
sioner informed Chang Hsueh-liang
at Mukden of the Soviet attitude.
Chang Hsueh-liang telegraphed Lit
vinoff at Moscow, accepting the So
Wet conditions.
"Litvinoff replied to Chang Hsueh-
lang, recommending chat Mukden
carry out the Soviet conditions I'M
medlately and further suggesting
that Mukden send representatives to
Harbarovsk to confer with Soviet
delegates concerning the time and
place of the Sino-Soviet conference"
Marking Denies Negotiations.
II is stated from Shanghai that the
Marking officials refused to talk
about the above report. But at Nan
king itself, dispatches state that q.
I. Wang, Marking Foreign Minister,
denied that the Mukden authorities
had moved for coneiliation, saying
that Moscow reports were false,
groundless and never existed"
In addition, Wang declared that
Nanking was handing the Manchu-
rian crisis "alone" with the help, he
should have added, of numerous
American advisers) and that the
Marking consul in Berlin had handed
the SovieC consul there Markings
"deman, which it must be noted
make no U1ler whatever to meet or
even discuss the Soviet conditions
for settlement on seizure of the G.
H. R., but only demanding joint
commission solely to investigate
border conditions" and that troops
of "both sides" be withdrawn to at
least 80 miles from the border, obvi-
ously aimed only to apply to the
Soviet troops, since the Chinese have
been forced back more than 80 miles
3 already as punishment for continued
invasions OF Soviet soil.
Rejection OF these outrageous de
mands," Markings note says, "will
Indicate that Russia entertains war
like ambitions toward China" and
that Marking will be prepared to
meet Soviet moves accordingly"
American Government Lies.
A Washington report stated that
the U. S. government was holding
'in allegiance" what it calls further
steps looking forward toward con-
certed action with other powers to
avert a war imperialist language
meaning to bring about a war; IN
Manchuria." But it was admitted,
in spite of the lie about holding war
preparations 'in abeyance," that the
U. S. ambassador in London, none
other than the fascist fanatic Dawes,
had held long conference with tn,
British Foreign Secretary, Arthl
Henderson and had, at the end, SCI
long telegram to WashingtO.
What the telegram said is seer
which the Hoover administrator
that so hypocritically talks of peace
while preparing for war on the
