The delay in doing so, it was ended, was due entirely to hostile members of tha aaaembly and to verbal amendments proposed by a committee. These amendments were designed not to alter the terms of the agreement, but to prevent future misunderstandings misunderstand-ings between China and Russia. These officials also stated that it had bean earnestly hoped Russia would agree to a settlement of tha Mongolian question, ques-tion, in view of the terrible disorder! in inner Mongolia, which wen endangering en-dangering foreigners, and because ot rhino-Mongol retaliations, which were 1 leading to frequent horrible atrocities. |
