PEKIN, 22nd January.
The Sjviet Ambassador, M. Karakhan, in a Note to the Chinese Foreign Office, complains that Chinese soldiers forcibly occupied carriages in the mail train about to start for Harbin. When ordered to leave, they took possession of the train.
He accuses the military authorities of interfering with the railway 1 and encouraging acts of violence. He urges that this is a violation of agreements with China, and demands that an end be put to outrages and order restored, thereby avoiding the serious consequences which might arise. He adds that the Soviet Government holds China responsible for aIW damage arising from such outrages.
Harbin is the junction on the Trans-Siberian Bailway, where the Manchurian line branches off for Pekin.
