SOVIET STILL SEES
j. .S.AS UNFR|ENDLY
StimSon'S Note Regarded as
Fresh Argument for
Recognition.
BY CARROLL BINDER,

Special Cable Dispatch to The Star and the
Chicago Daily News.
MOSCOW, December 6.-Secretary of
State Stimson's note to Russia asking
that nation to adhere to the provisos
of the Kellogg peace treaty in regard
to Manchurian hostilities with China
remains an unfriendly gesture, in the
opinion of the official Soviet organ L.
vestia. The Secretary of States ex-
plantations aroused Russia's curiosity as
to whether the United States was aware
between Russia and Mukden before the
note was dispatched.
If the United States was informed
beforehand, its Intervention was un-
friendly, IZvestia says. If his Chinese
informant concealed from Secretary
Stimson the progress of negotiations
at Mukden, that. adds Izvestia, is the
price paid for the absence of diplu-
matte relations of the United States
with the Union of Socialist Soviet Re-
publics, and, therefore. it certainly
intervene under the circumstances.
In other words, StimSon's note
strikes the Russian as fresh argu-
ment for recognition by the United
States
If Stimson is sincerely concerned
for peace, asks 1Zvestia, why didn't he
act promptly last July, when the
Chinese raids on Russian soil began?
The press carries no fresh news re.
garding the negotiations with Mukden,
but still infers that the dispute is set
tied unless Mukden retracts its ap-
proval under the encouragement of
sponsors of the Kellogg treaty notes"
Should such unfortunate tactics be
adopted and Chinese occupation of the
Chinese Eastern Railway, over which
the hostilities began, continue, nothing
would persuade Russia to believe other
wise than that this is due to Washing
ton. acting in behalf of American cap
italists. is the opinion of the press.
The Pravda's headlines say that Cuba,
Holland and Mexico concur in the ac-
ton of Stimson and that these inn
perialist's vassals join in the spirit OF
the Stimson note"
