(Received this day at 8 a.m.)
SHANGHAI, November 22
This week’s pressure at both ends of the Chinese Eastern Railway apparently resulted in a considerable change of heart. The Chinese announced to-do-that with the consent olf Peking nnd Mukden, it proposes to enter into negotiations with Moscow for a settlement of the dispute direct, nnd is appointing Wellington Koo as plenipotentiary. It is also believed the generally adverse situation in Honan nnd ICunngsi is having some effect in achieving the change of policy.
