The following notes were exchanged at the time of signing the Arrangement: The Wai Wu Pu to the Russian Minister: “ In regard to the recognition of the leased railway territory as Chinese territory, the general principle has been established that Chinese sovereignty suffers no loss or diminution. The rights and privileges enjoyed by subjects of other powers under the treaties between China and other nations are to be fully preserved. This must be clearly stated in order to avoid future misunderstandings.
To this end the two governments now make this exchange of notes.”
The Russian Minister to the Wai Wu Pu: “The leased territory of the Manchurian Railway is Chinese territory, and Chinese sovereignty therein is now fully recognized. A general agreement for the establishment of municipal councils has to-day been signed and sealed.
I now clearly state that my government will fully respect within the limits of the leased territory the rights and privileges which the subjects of other powers enjoy under the treaties between China and the other powers.”
