I.4—(P)—This is the year Russia is supposed to get out 'of Manchuria, rendering unto Red China the things that are China's. • Manchuria is the rich and vast land beyond the great wall in northeast China. It was fought over by the Russians, Chinese and Japanese for more than half a century, Turning full control back to the China Reds will be a gruelling test of friendship for Moscow, but I most observers here expect Rus sia to get out, or at least go through the motions. Withdrawal Cardinal Point Yet today, on this second an niversary of the signing -of the so-called Chinese-Russian friend ship treaty, there is •no mention of Manchuria in all the oceans of propaganda billowing and tossing out of Peiping. This could be significant. The Russian withdrawal from Man churia was one of the cardinal points of that treaty. Red leader Mao Tze-Tung an nounced his policy of "leaning to one side"—toward Russia. But he wanted Manchuria for industrial development with no strings at tached. To Aid One Another So two years ago today, Russia and the Chinese Reds signed a cluster of agreements now usual ly given the catch-all name of the Sino-Soviet friendship treaty. One major agreement was that Russia and China would come to each other's aid if either was at tacked by Japan or any state allied with , Japan. This is being trumpeted in the current anni versary broadcasts out of Peiping.

Takes Silence Oath Nehru's Congress party holds a strong lead in the national elec tions, which began in October and are still continuing, district by district.
