Chinese Strife Averts Civil War Joint Political Move
In New York World wires the issue centers on a joint move to avert civil war in China. An accord involving the Chinese Premier Soong and Moscow would place Manchuria and Inner Mongolia under Chinese sovereignty, while Russia would gain control of key rail lines and Port Arthur. The arrangement hints at strategic concessions, with Dairen docks partly reserved for Russia and a broader plan to ease Northeast Asian tensions after wartime alliances. The contemplated action includes a potential joint declaration among Britain the United States to dampen the conflict as Manchuria and Korea enter discussions within a postwar framework.
