The Chinese reply was brief

China simultaneously dispatched
an identical note to Waahing-

MOSCOW, Dec. - *— (JPy —The
Soviet Government notified the
United States today H could not
consider the American note remind-
ing the Russian and Chinese Gov-
ernments of their Kellogg pact ob-
ligations as friendly act.”
In a memo handed the French
Ambassador. Maurice- Herbette. by I
Magixn Litvinoff. acting commissar j
fur foreign affairs, the Soviet Oov- j
eminent expressed "amazement that •
the government of the United States, t
which by its own will has no offi- j
dal relations with the Soviet, deems
it possible to apply to it with ad-;
vice and counsel.”
In another place the memoran-J
dum said: “The Soviet Government I
states further that the pact of Paris'
does not give any single state or*
group of states the function of pro-
tection of this pact. The Soviet at
any rata never expressed consent
that any states themselves, or by
mutual consent, should take upon
themselves such a right"
