Tientsin, June 10.
Staying a dramatic coup, re~ presentatives of the White Russians' Anti-Comintern Com~ mittee here occupied the former Soviet Consulate today, hauled down the red flag on its roof and hoisted a tri-coloured emblem in its stead. Situated in the Third Special District, the former Soviet Consulate has been unoccupied since the evacuation of its staff and only the red flag has remained. After occupying the building the committee issued the fol-
Jowing statement:
"Churches and other buildings in the Third Special District of Tientsin have been handed down from the days of the Czarst regime, and we white Russians have the right to take possession of them. As for the Consulate we have occupied, it has been unused for the past two years. In view of the report that the Soviet Union is going secretly to sond Communist agents into Tien {sin and raze or sell the Consulate building, we intend to keep it in our possession, until the birth of a genuine Russian regime."—Domei.
