Russia Denies
Taking Huge
Areas Of ( Jiina
Saturday. January 23, 1950
By the Associated Press
Soviet Russia and communist
China today denied U.S. secretary
of state Acheson’s charge that
Russia is gobbling up huge areas
of China.
In Moscow, Soviet foreign min
ister, Andrei Y. Vishinsky said
Acheson’s charge that Russia is
annexing four north China prov
inces is a “lying and slanderous
declaration.”
The communist new China
news agency carried Red China’s
denial of the charges. The agency
quoted Hu Chiao-Mu, informa
tion director for the communist
regime in Peiping.
Hu said the state department’s
accusation was prompted by a re
alization that the U.S. “lost their
gamble” in China.
Vtshinsky’s statement was is
sued at the Kremlin to foreign
correspondents at an extraordin
ary news conference. It coincided
with the arrival in Moscow of
Chou En-Lai, foreign minister of
the communist people’s republic
of China.
The fact that Chou was called
in to join Chinese leader Mao
Tze-Tung, who has been in Mos
cow a month, led to speculation
the negotiations for a treaty of
friendship and alliance between
China and Russia have reached

an important climax.
The Soviet and Chinese denials
followed Acheson’s statement be
fore the national Press Club in
Washington on Jan. 12. Acheson
said:
“The Soviet Union is detaching
the northern provinces of China
from China and is attaching them
to the Soviet Union. This process
is complete in outer Mongolia and
Sinkiang. There are very happy
reports coming from Soviet agents
to Moscow.”
Washington observers said Bui-'
garia is expected to stand ftat on
what amounted to an American
ultimatum yesterday. B u 1 g a r ia i
had demanded the recall of U.S. |
minister Donald R. Heath from1
Sofia. The United States threat-!
ened to break off diplomatic rela
tions unless Bulgaria withdrew
the demand.
Soviet Russia is reported wor
ried over signs of Tito deviation
ist strength in Bulgaria. A purge
1 of communist party higher ranks
is now under way. Observers
said Russia may welcome a
chance to force American officials
out of Bulgaria entirely.

Winston Churchill, British con
servative leader, is opening the

TOKYO, (/PI—Mayor William
F. Devin of Seattle and Sol G. Le
vy, instigator of a northwest trade
a chamber of commerce dinner to
mission to Japan, told Japanese at
night that the Washingtonians
came here in “a spirit of friend
ship and goodwill.”
The group arriver earlier today
by plane from Seattle. Said Dev
in:
“We want you to know we’ve
come in a spirit of friendship and
goodwill. We do this for var^u?:
reasons. First, we want to live-at
peace with you, our neighbors .ac
ross the sea. Second, we’d like to
do business with you. Business
and commerce is a two way road
running both east and west.
“Because Seattle is the closest
city to the orient both by sea and
air, we have an advantage over
other points in the United States.
We feel we have a right to solicit
your business.”
Levy said American business
men have taken upon themselves
a new mission much as that of the
Boy Scout creed of helpfulness.
After the dinner, sample dis
plays of merchandise were in
