(Received 18th March, 10 a.m.)
PEKIN, 17th March. It is learned authoritatively that Cabinet is not divided on the question of the recognition of Russia; though recent meetings failed to reach a definite conclusion. Cabinet approached the question with an open mind, but was not prepared to accord unconditional recognition, desiring a satisfactory ar: rangement regarding certain outstanding questions.
These are the cancellation of al! Russo-Chinese and Russo-Mongolian Treaties, and the withdrawal of Russian troops' from Mongolia. So far Russia has failed to give convincing assurances on these matters. She has agreed to recognise Chinese sovereignty over Mongolia, but failed to give evidence of any intention to evacuate that country. Until the Soviet has. satisfied the Chinese Government on this and other matters, which are considered of vital importance to the Chinese people, the resumption of normal relations between the two countries will probably remain an open question.
