CHINA'S RECOGNITION OF THE SOVIET

Joffe Said to be Expeoting it in the Near Future From Rodney Gilbert, Peking, Nov. 29.

Joffe and his followers anticipate Chinese recognition of the Soviet within a few weeks and are preparing a full Legation staff, with Joffe as Minister, even including Naval and Military Attachés. My informant says that the credentials are already in hand. It is impossi ible, however, to confirm this in Chinese official circles.
