The note states: “The action of the Chinese author- ities constitutes the clearest and grossest violation of direct and un- equivocal clauses of existing agree- ments between Russia and China. “The very fact of the the Tupan (Governor Chang hui of the Harbin district) of a one- sided order without agreement v th the director (of the r his assistant, Soviet citizens, ¢ his act clearly an unlawful charae- ter, not to mention the fact that this act absolutely violates the principle of parity established by the agree- ment. “The removal of the manager of the line and his assistants and of service chiefs, and their even tem- porary replacement by Chinese citi- zens, radically alters the system of management of the railway estab- lished by agreement between the Governments of Russia and China and fixed by treaty. Orders Illegal. | “This unjustifiable violation is the more atrocious since appointment and dismissal of these officials con- | stitute a prerogative of the directors | and cannot be carried out by the one-sided order of the Tupan.” “The Soviet Government has given vepeated proof of its peacefulness and friendly attitude toward China and its sympathy with the Chinese people in their struggle for abolition of unequal treaties and restoration of the sovereignty of China. The Soviet Government was the first to ¢onclude with China a treaty on a basis of equality and respect for Ohina’s sovereignty and to renounce oll privileg ill enjoyed by foreign States. “Therefore, if the Chinese au- thorities have any claime regarding the regime established on the rail- road, actions of individual Soviet representaties or even affecting treaty rights established by agree- ments down to reduction of the term of agreement and redemption ef the Chinese Eastern Railway prior to its expiration, these au- thorities had full opportunity pro- vided by agreements to present any claim to Russia.” Patience, Not Weakness. After repeating the Soviet deter- mination on friendly regulation of any controversy, the note. says: “The present Chinese authorities evidently are inclined to regard the | above policy of friendly and peace- ful settlement of disputes and re- spect for the sovereign rights of China (which represents a complete | renunciation of the principles of the | imperialist policy of capitalist states) not as a policy connected | States, as in other countries, with the very nature of Soviet power but as.a manifestation of its weakness. “Apparently that is the reason why Chinese authorities have al- lowed themselves to take a series of grossly violent and provocative ac- tions against Russia, abusing its peacefulness. “The Soviet government is there- | fore compelled to remind the Chi- nese authorities that it possesses | sufficient means to safeguard the | lawful rights of its people against any violent infringements.” The note then ends with a frank | » statement that the U. S. S.
