China, June 12 @ — Severance of diplomatic relations with the soviet government was ‘discussed at an important confer- ence today between General Chiang - Kai-Chek, Foreign Minister C. T. 1 Wang and others. The situation arising out of Chi- nese raids on soviet consulates in ' Manchuria, particularly that at® Harbin on May 27. was considered .. in detail. Some of those at the- meeting believed that alleged com- munist propaganda found these necessitated an abrupt withdrawa!’ of Chinese representatives in Rus- sia. See Solution of Problem Others held, however. that estab- lishment of relations on a firmer hasis would solve the problem sat. sfactorily and prevent further al- - leged subversive activities on the part of the Moscow agents. These contended that although’" Russia is carrying on {its propa- ganda in Mongolia, Chinese Turke- .. stan and other Chinese territories, the nationalist government is un- able officially to protest through Chinese representatives at Moscow, »u -linasmuch as China already has un- - {oflicially broken its relations with that government.” These same lcaders, however. are - understood to believe shat befors ~ the relations be restored officially s., “the Russians must agree to retro- - lcession of the Chinese Eastern | Railway to Chinese authority and ™' [to dissolution of the labor union - of that railway.” " Railroad Activity Center Those at the conference were . practically unanimous in their feel- ing that Russian {nfluences were jusing the railway as “a center for . third. internationale activities in the Far East and furthermore using the * railway to finance The labor union was regarded as undesirable because it was allegedly “practically running the railway.” It was freely stated in official ‘ circles that although much discus- * (sion of the jeopardized relations . {had already taken place no decl. !sion as yet has been reached.
