As recognised leader of the White Russian exiles in China, General Horvath still holds a position of semi-official Importance in Peking. He has issued the following signed statement, giving his opinions on the present crisis.

THE CHINESE DISPUTE

The proposal recently voiced, that a joint international commission take over control of the Anancea of the business for, the benefit of its creditors, has much to recommend it, but of course it would be impractical for aliens actually to attempt to operate the line.. ·

The proceedings, as is usual with round tables discussions, were private, and in a subsequent verbal report given to pressiuen, no names of speakers were mentioned,

One can not condemn China, how eter, for its strong action in taking over the management of the line at this time. No government can ad- mit anti-government propaganda in its own territory, and such agitation was certainly engaged in by the So- viet,employees of the railroad,

There is much talk at present of the White Russians, joining with China in a war: against Soviet Rus- sia. On behalf of the Far Eastern League of White Russians I can say, bayever, that the question of allying with the Chinese army bas never been considered.

"By Corruption"

The Sheng Kum-pao caso in Shang- hai was quoted as showing the political interference with the courts. Some of the Chinose delegates maintained that as Sheng's fortune was made "by cor- ruption," the case was not a civil but The Chinese Government has de-a political one. It was replied to this clared many times that it can cope that, according to such reasoning, it with the Bolshevik menace without was easy for the executive to interfere outside assistance.

From my long residence in the Far East and from my experience as director of the Chinese Eastern Rall way for seventeen years, it seems to me that the best solution of the dimculty would be for China either to buy out the railway entire ly, or agree to the re-establishment of the agreements made with the ori-truction which still threatens it. ginal Chinese Eastern Railway Com pany.

Nevertheless, there is a large number of White Russians now re siding in China who would give everything in their power to save their country from the complete des-
