Moscow, April 30.
THE CHINESE EASTERN RAILWAY DISPUTE IS MOVING STEADILY TOWARDS A CLIMAX. Further correspondence between Mr. Li Shao- keng, the President, and Mr. Kuznetzov, the Vice- President of the Board of Directors, reveals that Manchukuo is now denying that ownership of the C.E.R. belongs to the Soviet.
M Kuznetzov has replied that the ownership of the railway is admitted in the Articles contained in the Treaties of Mukden and Peking. He has added that the attempt to question the U.S.S.R. right of ownership has given rise to a fear that the object of Manchukuo is to violate both treaties.-Reuter

The article says that his demand that normal work- ing conditions should be restored on the C.E.R. evokes laughter "as it is equivalent to a Lighway robber pro- fessing intolerance of stealing."-Reuter.
