The Chinese Eastern railway was built in the nineties with capital furnished by the Czarist Government. Economically it was and is a short line of great value, cutting off about 1,000 miles between China and Vladivostok as compared with the main line of the Trans-Siberian railway which curves northward in Soviet Union territory along the line of the Amur river. The position of the railway in respect to the new order in the Soviet Union was not regularized until the spring of 1924 when the Chinese government and the Soviet government signed a treaty with certain clauses relating to the status of the railway and a supplementary agreement for the provisional management of the road.
