DISCONTINUANCE OF RED

PROPAGANDA.

Harbin, July 7--Soviet Russia has tacitly refused the Chinese proposal for restoration of Bino- Soviet diplomatic relations, accord- ing to reports here.

Mr. Wang Tsing Sze, Chinese delegate to Moscow, is said to have proposed recently to M. Kozlovsky, chief of the Eastern. Department of the Foreign Office, that relations be restored and that new treaties be signed. This was agreed to by the Soviet side, in principle,

But i was further understood that the Chinesc strongly insisted upun positive aid from Soviet Rus sia in the attempt to recover Sovereignty in Manchuria, together with diacontinuance by the Soviet of its "Red" campaign in China.

As the Chinese strongly adhered to these two points, Boviet authori ties recently notified Mr. Wang to reopen the negotiations some other timo after the summer holidays, it was understood here.
