Some American diplomats to-
day viewed the top-level Chinese.
Russian conference in Moscow as
mainly a begging expedition" by
the Chinese Reds.
These officials speculated that
the Chinese are dissatisfied with
lRusSia's promises and would plead
for:
/. More financial aid to supple
ment the $500 million loan Mos
cow promised in February, 1850
2. Bigger and faster shipments
Iof Russian-made military sup
plies for hard-pressed Chinese
Communist troops in Korea.
3. Removal of Russian troops
from Port Arthur and return to
Red China of the Changchun
Railway as promised by the end
of this year.
Meeting Called Routine.
The State Department has eau
tiously labeled the Chinese-So-
Wet conference as routine" and
said such meetings by partner
nations are to be expected.
But experts on Russian and
Chinese affairs here feel the pur-
pose of the huddle is aimed at
finding ways to continue the Ko-
rean war rather than at any pol
icy change which might mean
peace In the Far East.
The makeup of the 15-man
Chinese Communist delegation
headed by Premier-Foreign Min
lister Chou En-lai, appeared to
them to point to war objectives,
with paralleling attention to eco
fnomic and financial problems.
Most officials seemed to agree
Chou and Russian Foreign Min
lister Vishinsky would review the
friendship and alliance treaty they
signed February IA, 1850, along
with separate agreements dealing
with Port Arthur, the Changchun
Railway and Dairen.
Dairen Also Issue.
The future of Dairen undoubt-
edly will come up for discussion
although Russia made no promises
to return this port at any specific
date.
To back up the belief the Chi
nese Reds might ask for a fatter
Russian loan, officials pointed out
that Russia has devalued the ruble
since the last credit was an
nounced, cutting its value by one
fourth. The loan was to be ex-
tended during a five-year period
in intallments of $50 million each.
Recurring but unverified reports
from Far East intelligence sources
have pictured the Chinese Reds
diSgruntled with the rate of Rus
sian arms deliveries.
