Foreign Minister Stresemann of the Reich, known because of his alert opportunism as "the Lloyd George of Germany," was lauded to the skies by German journals of every party last week when he made public the text of the Russo-German Neutrality Treaty which he and Foreign Minister Tchitcherin of the Soviet Union (TIME, Oct. 12) have been quietly preparing, by secret negotiation, for some months...
...April 10, 1922, Lloyd George succeeded in assembling the representatives of the Allied Powers at Genoa, there to dictate to the Foreign Ministers of Russia (Tchitcherin) and Germany (Rathenau), (subsequently assassinated) the terms of a general European economic peace. On April 17 Tchitcherin and Rathenau, realizing that they would get only, harsh terms from the Allies, slipped off to Rapallo and signed a mutual economic agreement on a "most favored nation" basis.

He despatched another telegram, however, to Tuan Chi-jui, the impotent Chief Executive of the Chinese Republic, at Peking. M. Tchitcherin demanded that the Tuan Government force Super-Tuchun Chang to heed the demands made upon him or authorize the U. S. S. R. "to use its own efforts" in coercing Chang...
Since the Tuan Government is notoriously so weak that its pretense of representing "China" is a mockery, M. Tchitcherin's "impossible" demand that it coerce the powerful Chang was regarded as a warning that the U. S. S. R. is seriously considering the employment of the Red Army against the pro-Japanese, anti-Soviet "Manchurian War Lord...
