Wet RusSia'S charges that Russians
arrested in Manchukuo had been
tortured for their alleged partici-

characterized as "preSumptuous

Moscow's note. Hirota stated that
Manchukuoan authorities simply
exercised their rightful jurisdic-
ton in connection with plots to
wreck military trains. Since loot
