CHINESE POLITICS

CHINA'S BREACH WITH RUSSIA

Fairy Tales by Dr. Reinsch Washington, Sept. 30.

Ds. Paul Reinsch, in the course of a statement made here today, said that the reports that Bolshevik influence had caused China to withdraw its recognition of the Russian officials in. China were totally erroneous. He said that the action had been taken after consultation with the American, British and French Councillors and that even the Russians in China desived the withdrawal of recognition.

this connexion it will be remembered that Dr. Reinsch is a paid adviser to the Chinese Government. As such he would be most unlikely to be in the confidence of the Legations, and it is quite impossible not to.conclude that he has been badly misinformed by his employers.—Ed.
