Peking, July 28.
Letters from Manchuria indicate that no little bad feeling has been aroused in Kirin, among Russians, Chinese and Japanese, by the action of the Japanese authorities in Korea in transporting and dumping great numbers of helpless, resourceless and utterly destitute White Russians at the northern end of the South Manchurian Railway.
Manchuria's Russian problem is already big enough. According to all classes in Manchuria, the Japanese undertook a responsibility which they are bound to discharge in some respectable fashion when they admitted 4,000 Whites to Gensan. This responsibility they are not discharging properly now because, out of the 4,000, 2,000 or more have already been pushed along to the very end of the Japanese controlled line at Changchun and have there been told to move along and shift for themselves, Moreover, the rest of the force is supposed to be en route.
As soon as the Chinese authorities heard of this impending decent of hungry ones, they ordered an inspection at Antung, but this on a Japanese line was of course futile andthe unwelcome ones dribbled in, protesting that they were not happy under Japanese patronage and were glad of a change of air, even without prospects.
