EARLIER TELEGRAMS.

CHINA AND RUSSIA.

Landon, March 31. Commenting on the strained Sino-Rasgian. relations the Daily {Telegraph's diplomatic correspondent says that if Moscow should attempt to carry out its threat to invade Manchuris or other Chinese provinces on a' substantial scale, a serious international situation might be created, having regard to the principle of Chinese terri- torial, integrity laid down by the Powers and endorsed at the Washington Conference. The Daily Mail in an editorial charges the Bolshevik savoy, Karakhan, with systematically plotting against the peace of China and attempting to stir up trouble of every kind. It declares thatBolshevik control of the all important - Chinese Eastern Railway as demanded by the Soviet Government would mean the destruction of "business and efficiency with the result that the Japanese lines to Port Arthur And Korea would lose their Man- churian traffic and cease to pay. Japan therefore is certain to give quiet support to China in case of a threat of war. It does not seem probable that China is in any serious danger-Reuter,

London, March 21.

The Daily News diplomatic correspondent opines that it is. unlikely that the Russians will resort to military measures in Man- churia, but that if they do the western Powers will undoubtedly take action-Reuter.

AMERICAN RAILWAY RATES.

Washington. March 21.

I is understood that the protest of the Japanese Government against the decision to allow preferential railway rates on Ameri- can goods shipped in American vessels will be followed by a similar action by the Dutch Government, Other countries are expected to later make representations to the State Department, which has hitherto only intimated that complaints will receive careful con- sideration. The case of Japan may be complicated in view of the fact that certain Japanese steamship companies have contracts with certain railways, which they contend entitle them to the same benefits as would accrue to American vessels under section 23 of the Merchant Marine Act.-Reuter's American.
