      One incident which occurred immediately before I entered Russia made a deep impression upon me, and all through my journey across this great country I have been reminded of the White Russian woman in the hotel at Manchuli. I suppose that to all except those who have travelled from Manchuria to Russia the town of Manchuli remains unknown. But for those who make the journey it is the great dividing line: for Manchuli separates Manchuria from Russia.

      On October 12, 1929, there occurred the Chinese Eastern Railway Incident. Russian troops invaded Manchuli and Hailar in Manchuria and forced our local authorities there to sign the Khabarovsk Protocol on December 22, another proof that Soviet Russia was continuing Czarist Russia's aggressive policy toward China.
