Russian Criticism of the China Terms

On the finally agreed terms of the Powers to China, the leading Russian paper says: “Rulers sometimes betray their own country, but treason toward foreign Powers is a new conception. The statement in the ultimatum that the troops will not be withdrawn before the conditions are accepted can not mean Russia, whose troops have already vacated Chihli, whereas Manchurian affairs do not concern the Powers. The note will not bring peace. The Powers possibly repent not having imitated Russia’s example.”
