China and Russia On Tuesday night the Chinese Government sent

a reply to the Soviet Note. They declared bluntly that the Manchurian authorities were justified in expelling the Russian officials of the Chinese Eastern Railway on the ground that these officials had broken the Treaty of 1924 by carrying on Communistic and anti-Chinese propaganda. We have written about the dispute in a leading article. We express there some doubt as to the degree in which the -Nanking- -.Government had knowledge" of the Manchurian coup, but even if, as we suspect, the Manchu- rians acted independently, it is obvious that Nanking is willing to accept responsibility.
