FINANCE CRISIS
(SPECIAL TO “TELEGRAPH”)
Harbin, Apr. 23. The Russo-Japanese tension in North Manchuria is not likely to be eased by the sensational developments of the last few days, following accusations of terroristic activities by Soviet nationals, leading to many astonishing arrests.
Nearly every Russian head of department on the Chinese Eastern Railway appears to have been taken into custody, most of the prisoners being extremely well known in Harbin. Their arrest is practically the sole topic of discussion in the city..
and the Doninions as well as Bri- tain.
