handed to Fedoy Orekhop, Charge
dA0dires Of the Sopiet Embassy,
rejecting Russian demands for a
share in the military control Of
the DdrdaneHes..
|, August 10, 1916.
Sir:
II acknowledge receipt of your
note Of August I, 1915, which sets
forth the text Of the note ad-
dressed on the same day by the
government Of the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics to the govern
ment Of the Republic Of Turkey and
express the appreciation Of this
Government Of the courtesy Of the
Soviet government in making this
information available.
1T will be recalled that the Ameri-
can Embassy in Moscow made avail
able to the Soviet government in
November, 1945, a copy OF the note
which the American Embassy in
Ankara delivered to the Turkish
government on November 2. 1915.
Views Carefully Studied.
This Government hes given care
fully study to the views expressed
by the Soviet government in its
note to the Turkish government.
IT would appear from q comparison
Of this Governments note Of No
vember ., 1915, with the Soviet note
to the Turkish government of Az
gust 7, 1916, that the views of the
governments OF the United States
and Of the Soviet Union, while not
in entire accord. are in general
agreement with regard to the three
following proposals set forth in the
Soviet note:
Il. The straits should be always
open to the passage OF merchant
ships Of all countries.
-. The straits should be always
open to the passage Of warships Of
the Black Sea powers.
8. Passage through the straits
for warships not belonging to the
Black Sea powers shall not be per-
mitted except in cases specially pro-
vided for

Pu-yl Tells How Russians
Snafched Him From JAMS

TOKYO. Aug. 2l.-Henry Pu-y
former puppet ruler or Manchuria,
declared today q Russian plane
swooped down on a Mukden air
field and snstched him from the
japanese just as they were prepar-
Ing to carry him of by force to
Japan at the wars end.
Pu-N told the international war
crimes court his version Of how he
passed into Russian hands-an In
cident yet to be clarified.
The fallen puppet declared Japa-
nese generals threatened ME with
force to move to Japan" where
they wanted to kill us in order
to silence U.S." BY "us' he meant
himself and his family.
Permitted to testify without in
terruption, Pu-yi said he was taken
under guard to Mukden in a small
airplane, where he was changed to
larger one but before we took
on Soviet plane arrived"
Earlier Pi-yi had leaped to his
feet with a shout OF fake" when
defense attorneys introduced q let
ter they said Pu-yi sent to the Jspa-
dlese saying he was willing to take
the Manchurian throne. II

Text OF u. S. Note to Soviet
American Views on DordoneIIes Conflict
With Russio's on Two Principal Matters

the Soviet note does not appear tc
envisage q revision OF the Montreus
Convention, as suggested In our note
to the Turkish government Of No
vember 2. 1915, but rather the estab-
lishment Of = new regime which,
would be confined to Turkey and
the other Black Sea powers. It il
the view OF this Government that
the regime Of the straits is q matter
OF concern not only to the Black Sea
powers but also to other powers, in
Guiding the United States. This
Government cannot, therefore, agree
with the Soviet view that the estab-
lishment Of the regime of the straits
should come under the competence
OF the Black Sea powers to the ex-
clusion OF other powers.
Joint Means Of Defense.
"The NTH proposal set forth in
the note of the Soviet Government
was that Turkey and the Soviet
Union should organize joints means
OF defense Of the straits. 1t Ia the
firm opinion of this Government that
Turkey should continue to be pri-
marily responsible for the defense
OF the straits. Should the straits
become the object Of attack or
threat of attack by an aggressor,
the resulting situation would con-
stitute a threat to international Sc
curity and would clearly be mat
ter for action on the part of the Sc
curity Council Of the United Ma
tons.
1T is observed that the note Of
the Soviet Government contains no
reference to the United Nations. The
position OF the Government Of the
United States Is that the regime Of
the straits should be brought into
appropriate relationship with the
United Nations and should func-
ton in manner entirely consistent
with the principles and aims of the
United Nations.
The Government Of the United
States reafnrms its WILLINGNESS to
participate In = conference called
to revise the Montreux Convention.
Accept, sir. the renewed assur-
ances OF my high consideration.
