THE SOVIET MINISTER AND THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT.

The following letter which was address ed by Karakhan," the Soviet Envoy. to the Chinese Minister of Foreign Affairs has bevn' published by the Bolshe vist News Agency at Peking:-

June 8th. MONSIEUR LE MINISTER-Whereas, the Extraor·linary Plenipotentiary Mission, in a verbal Note, under date of June 4th, 1924, had requested the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to arrest four vessels in the port of Shanghai the ss. Okhotsk, Manbagni, Zachinik and Eldorado, and] hand then over to an official duly authorised by the Extraordinary Pleni- potentiary Representative-the Mission based ita unétion

the Declara tion, signed on May 31st, 1924, on the strength of which the Chinese Govern- ment undertook to turn over to the Go", ernment of the Union of Soviet Socialist Repablies all the movable and immor. able property of the Union, to be found in the territory of the Republic of China, However, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs hax Lot deemed necessary. although a month has sincy elapsed, to give a reply ou a matter in which, in aerordance with the Agreement. immed-

! the iate extention on

farrt of the Chine Government was stipulated.

Yow, while in some cases, the Chinese Government meets with difficulties en day part of the Imperialistic Powers, which are but too glad to break up the Agreement reached between the Union of Soviet Socialist Republies and China-in the present vase of the said ships the matter is entirely in the hands of the Chinese Government. for the vessels ars at the disposal of the" Diplomatie Con- missioner at Sunghai.

However, the latter, under the pretext that he has not yet reserved instructions, has flatly refused to Earal,the ships to Mr. Elleder,, who is duly authorised, in accordance with the above-mentioned Nate of Juw 4th, to take then over.

At the same time, while, under the patronage of the Chinese anthorities White bands continue to have full con- Erol of these vessels, they pillage and sell out all that is valuabl, on sante.

Under such cirewustances, I must in- sist in the most energetic manner dit all the ships be immediately handed over

Plaintiff is his capacity as offerr, should have known the condition of the ship and should have been careful at all times as to whether the ladder was safe or unsafe in going up or down. It was partly through his own care- siness that he had fallen down and as a result sustained injuries which in no way could attach blame to the China Merchants' S.N. Co.

The Court, however, took into conside- ration the gravity of plaintiff's injuries sustained as a result of a fall in the course of his public duties and also of the fruit that it would be impossible for his bulth to return to a normal state.

The China Merchants H.X. Co. would therefore, be ordered to pay to plaintiff compensation in the sum of Mex. $10,000, including in this amount salary and Eurther medical expenses of plaintif
