China Charges Soviet
Violated Letter and
Spirit Of 'RPact
fFronl Yesterdays Last Edition.
By the Associoted Press


CANTON, Aug. 16.-The Chi
.nese government today officially
charged Russia had violated
both. in letter ana spirit Che
treaty of friendship and alliance
between China and the Soviet
Union concluded in 1945"
This was part of statement
which for the first time gave
China's official reaction to the
American white paper on China.
The statement was Icsued by
George Yeh, acting Foreign Min
lister.
The statement styled the Chi
nese Communists the tools of
Moscow" =.
It also took serious exception
to the views and statements" on
many questions contained in the
recent white paper. The white
paper said the Chinese govern
ment had failed in its civil war
with the Communists snd op-
posed further aid for the Nation
alist regime.
The statement said the Chinese
government found a Source of
satisfaction in noting the
United States Government now
shared two fundamental views
which the Chinese government
consistently has maintained.
These were given as:
First, the Chinese Communists
are thorough Marxists and tools
of Moscow, and secondly, the So
Wet Union has violated both in
the letter and spirit the treaty
of friendship and alliance between
China and the Soviet Union con-
cluded in 1945.
"At the same time, the Chinese
government declare that 1t takes
serious exception to the views and
statement on many other impor-
tant questions contained in the
white paper.
'It is not the intention of the
Chinese government to engage
in a controversy over past issues
to the detriment of the tradition
al friendship between the Chinese
and American peoples and the
common cause of the democracies.
However, the Chinese govern
ment in consideration of its stand
and obligations will state more
fully at an appropriate time its
position and relevant facts with
regard to various complex sub
jects dealt with in the voluminouS
white paper for the information
of the Chinese and American
public so as to further the mutual
understanding and cordial rela-
tions between the two peoples"
A copy of Yeh's statement was
delivered to Lewis Clark, Amer
ican Charge d'Affaires.

There is no Need for Strikes

With all of the available methods for the
Interpretation of contracts, there is no
need for strike or even threat of a
strike, but the leaders of these railroad
unions have ignored the ordinary pro-
cedures established by Law and insist upon
imposing their own interpretations of their
contracts by means of a strike.
The wheels have stopped rolling on the
Missouri Pacific. They may stop rolling
on other railroads at any time. Recently
the Wabash Railroad was forced to dis

by the excessive respect some
