July 31, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

The present struggle between Russia and China for control of the Chinese Eastern Railway in Northern Manchuria involves many difficult points of international law which can be understood only in the light of the agreements made between the two governments in 1924. Russia and China, on May 31, 1924, signed a preliminary agreement on general principles for the settlement of disputes and stipulated that a conference should be held within one month to carry out detailed arrangements. The clauses concerning the Chinese Eastern Railway in the preliminary agreement include that Governments of the two Contracting Parties declare that the Chinese Eastern Railway is a purely commercial enterprise.
