Peking, July 26.
M. Yourin, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Far Eastern public, arrived im Peking, yesterday, A large umber of diplomatic officials and correspondents were at the station to welcome his return. Among them were representatives of the President, of the Cabinet, and of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Interviewed by the Peking Leader," M. Yourin said:
"T come to Peking partly to discuss with the Chinese Government the conclusion of a trade agreement and the Mongolian situation, and partly to renew my personal contact with the situation in China, "T feel that most friendly relations between the two neighbouring republics should obtain, and in order to do what I can to promote such relations I. want to keep personally in touch with developments here in China.''
Prior to coming to Peking M. Yourin stopped at Mukden, where he was received by General Chang Tso-lin, with whom the Mongolian situation was discussed.
The "Peking Dail: ews writ ing on M. Yourin's arrival in Peking, says editorially "The preposterous conduct that hailed Yourin's first entry into Peking is now forgotten in the light not only of personal acquaintance with the man, but of grow. ing sympathy with the state of which he is an honoured representative. our opinion Chita has been long suffering in her dealing with China and we would here offer this as an excuse for the strong tone of Yourin's note to the Chinese Government. Furthermore, since China commenced official negotiations with Yourin, the attitude of other Powers towards the youngest Republic has undergone a very significant change. Several missions have been instructed ta investigate conditions in Chita. Nations eager for fresh sources if raw materials cannot leave Siberia politically isolated, and they are fast coming to that realization. Yourin should therefore find his path much easier than on the former occasion of his visit to Peking, especially if he persuades Chang Tso-lin of the material advantage that will accrue to him upon a final settlement of the problems outstanding between the two countries—which would mean the withdrawal of Siberian troops from Urea. Reciprocity is the watchword of Chita's foreign ister and, as we have said, the application of this principle means more to China than subservience to the policy of any other The Chinese newspapers in Peking are devoting special articles to M. Yourin's arrival, and an intense interest is taken in the purposes of his *eturn.—Dalta News Agency.
