Moscow, May 15.
I have just arrived in Moscow from Peking and I can safely say that, provided conditions do not get any worse, and they appear to; be steadily getting better, there is no reason why anyone, provided! they have their health and strength and are willing to take their chances of a certain amount of; discomfort or even hardship over portions of the trip, should not: cross in fairly good time.
The first step for the traveller, leaving China, is to obtain a visa} from the Soviet Government's representative in Peking, which took me about ten days. Then the visa of the Far Lastern Republic can be secured through their representative, who will grant it as soon as the Soviet have given their permission. A through ticket may then be bought from Messrs. Cook's or other agents to Station Manchuria on the Far Eastern Republic border vid Harbin. The journey, Peking to Harbin, may be accomplished in 87 hours with changes at Mukden and Chang-j chun but no lengthy stop-overs.
