Whether students would rather

possibilities for the referendum.

The committee, to be chaired

Chinese Students Ordered
Out Of Russian Schools
From Combined Dlipatcb.es

MOSCOW Soviet Union officials today ordered all students
from Red China studying in Russia out of the country by the
end of October.
Officials said the move was in retaliation for the ouster of
Soviet students from China in September.
Soviet News Agency Tass reported the statement to the Red
Chinese as follows: "This September the Chinese side unilaterally violated the principle of reciprocity and interrupted the
training courses of Soviet students and trainees in the People's
Republic of China." Soviet students were ordered out of China
by Oct. 10.
The Tass report continued, "Guided by principle of
reciprocity, the Soviet organs have adopted a decision to suspend
the training of students from the People's Republic of China at
Soviet educational establishments and research institutions.
The report added that Russia would consider the resumption
of the student exchange "as soon as the Chinese side displays
readiness to resume such exchanges."
