In spite of the fact that the Rus- sians have lost their extraterr torial rights, while they are v- ng in Shanghai, they are under the supreme authority of the Mixed Court. With the rendition of the Mixed Court, it is expected! that they will be under the juris- diction of the purely Chinese?

From a practical point of view. the position of Russians 'in Shanghai will, of course. be de- pendent upon the degree of per- fection of the legal institutions which are to be established in place of the Mixed Court."
