Mukden, Sept. 13.
Mr. ¥. D. Chen, the Chairman of the Commitice of Public Enlightenment authoritatively, informs. Reuter's correspondent that, the statement issued by the Soviet Foreign Office citing 19 cases of Chinese attacks on Russian territory is a tissue of lies, The first case mentioned states that Chinese made an attack on Soviet Frontier Guards on August 19 at Station 86, 15 kilometres weet of Manchuli, with a Chinese aero-lane directing the fire of the artillery. Mr, Shen declared that this was, impossible because, before the end_of August, no Chinese aeroplanes had been sent east, west or north of Harbin, and this fact could be easily proves The other accusations made _by the Soviet are.likowise groundless.
With regard to the charge made by the Soviet, that China is using bands of White Guards to attack Russian territory, Mr. Shen stated that the Chinese troops in North Manchuria are sufficient to cope with the situation and the bands of White Guards exist in the imagination of the Soviet Foreign Office only.
Mr. Shen added that in the whole of Manchuria there were less than 10,000 White Russians, most. of whom were engaged in honest work or business, while all of them were unarmed. Therefore, he added, is absurd of the Soviet Government to be always dragging in these defenceless people to a situation which, does not concern them—Reuter,
