There is conflict over the region of Manchuria between Russia and China. The United States is not hostile toward Russia in this situation, arguing that the region would be no worse under Russia than it was under Chinese control. Charles Richard Crane and Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock (former ambassador to Russia) misunderstand American intentions, while Count Arthur Paul Nicholas Cassini is satisfied with the American position and wants American correspondence in the Russian-French understanding published.
