Mrs. De Mohrenschildt. That is right.
Mr. Jenner. I was looking for some papers here. The Chinese sold the railroad to Russia?
Mrs. De Mohrenschildt. Yes.
Mr. Jenner. That was in 1925?
Mrs. De Mohrenschildt. That is how I understood it.
Mr. Jenner. In any event, your father ceased at that time to be director of the Chinese Eastern Railroad.
Mrs. De Mohrenschildt. That is right. He resigned, and in fact we were planning to come to the United States, the whole family. We wanted to come to the United States.
Mr. Jenner. Why?
Mrs. De Mohrenschildt. Just because it is not our country to live there forever. We were brought up with white people, you know.
Mr. Jenner. Why did your father resign when the railroad was sold to the Russians?
