The semi-official Nationalist or ganisation. the Kuo Min news agency, has a message from Harbin, in Manchuria, which says that it is learned there that Moscow is send ing a plenipotentiary to Harbin to effect an amicable settlement of the controversy between China and Soviet over the management of the Chinese Eastern Railway, which is jointly owned by Russia and China, and which links up with the trans- Siberian line (owned by Russia). As already related in the "China In the meantime, the local Chin- Mail," the 'plane flew over Kow ese authorities (the message con- loon.

"Whites" Get Back

All Soviet officials, including the manager and the assistant general manager, have been practically dis- missed. Many of them have already been sent back to Russia. About eighty "White" Russians, formerly employed on the C.E.R., have been

reappointed to positiona on the

Railway.

In well-informed circles, it is believed that if the Soviet negotia- tors undertake to carry out the Agreement signed by Russia and China in September, 1924, as re- gards management of the Railway, the present situation will be satis- factorily settled.--Reuter.
