To the Editor of the "Norru-Caixa Dairy News."
Sin,—There seems to be a good deal of misunderstanding on the part of certain foreign papers with regard to China's recent severance of diplomatic relations with Russia. This action, which is nothing more or less than what has long been taken by all other Allied Powers, is, in the case of China, characterized as ''stealing of Russian extraterritoriality," "trampling on the Russian people's treaty rights," ete. We should like to know wherein the stealing and the trampling consist?
In its zeal in denouncing the Chinese Government, the papers do not hesitate to "regretfully in-elude" the Legation Quarter, except the French and the Japanese, for no other reason than the fact that it has refused to trample on China's sovereign rights! And all foreign residents in China—with specific reference to the Legation Quarter—who should _refuse to join the papers in trampling on China's rights would be considered as "'base deserters' in the Russian cause!
