Appellant Teltoft, Yaroslav Marianovich, citizen of the Polish People's
Republic, residing at Harbin-Pristan, Pekarnaya UlLtsa, House No. 33, Apart-
ment No 4.
In regard to: Action f ?3 of the Commercial-Industrial Department of the
Harbin Control. Referring to the decision of the Harbin People's Court, no.
158 (Chinese character) "Fei," 1953.
Petition
I request that the decision of the Harbin People's Court in regard to the referred
matter be set aside and that the request of the Commercial-Industrial Department
of the Harbin Control to turn over to the Harbin Government machine shops located
in Harbin belonging to the plaintiff be refused.
The People's Court of the city of Harbin found that the said machine shops belong
to the Amerikanskaya Aktsienornaya O-vo (Co.) "GA Bashkirov and Company" "Khan
Sin Yakhan" /Takhan = Yang Hang = Foreign Firm7 and that the appellant seemingly
did not provide sufficient proof that at the present time he is the sole owner of
the machine shops; that his statements about this are false; and that he is
acquiring property by fraud.
This is not correct. Appellant presented to the court id,-controvertible docu-
ments proving that these machine shops belong to him; the court did not study
these documents and that is why it reached an incorrect decision. The truth
of the matter is as follows:
A branch of the Amerik Akts 0-vo GA Bashkirov and Company "Khan Sin Yakhan"
was opened in Harbin in 1920 in which appellant was a shareholder. He was also
the director of the Harbin branch. From 1923 until the day of liquidation of this
company, three thousand automobiles were sold. In 1929 the affairs of Akts 0-vo
were so bad, because of losses on the stock market, that appellant was unable to
recover moneys owed to him fb-y the firm7 totaling Yuan 57,51+6.111, which accumu-
ldt-,ed as a result of his not receiving salaries and commissions as of 1 Jan 29
for sale of vehicles during 1927 and 1928, as well as percentage Onterest for
the use of his funds7. Evidence of the indebtedness of the firm is to be found
in the files of the chief book of the Harbin branch of the firm showing the
balance as of 1 Jan 29; the pertinent extract is annexed hereto fE-xhibit 17.
In April 1934 appellant reached an agreement with Amer Akts 0-vo GA Bashkirov
and Company "Khan Sin Yakhan," which was then in process of liquidation, which
agreement states that the machine shops of this company and the pertinent parts
and materials were transferred to appellant's ownership to liquidate the debt
of the Amer Akts 0-vo. In other words, appellant obtained the machine shop's
materials and parts for the sum of Yuan 57,516.11+ and therefore became sole
owner of this enterprise Exhibit 7.

In May 1934 appellant lodged in the local Polish Consulate one copy of the
above-mentioned agreement and registered his enterprise under the name of
"Bashkirov and Company" "Khin Sin Gunsi" ZG-unsi = Kung Ssu : Company7 and
then registered the same in the Harbin Polish Trade Pavilion Lxhibit 37.
On 5 Jan 35 appellant submitted a statement to the Harbin municipality with
a request to register the firm as belonging to him, a Polish subject. With this
request appellant submitted a copy of the agreement with the Amerik Akts 0-vo
GA Bashkirov and Company and received a receipt from the municipality ZE-xhibits
4$57.
On 1 Feb 35 in answer to his request a resolution was passed by the Municipality
of Harbin, No 174, to the effect that his request had been considered and that
the documents attesting to the fact that the firm had been transferred to his
ownership were attached and that the municipality having verified the documents
'
granted his request LBx
nibit
This resolution clearly states that the agreement made between appellant and
Amerik Akts O-vo GA Bashkirov and Company, in process of liquidation, had been
received by the municipality; that on the basis of this it recognized appel-
lant's sole ownership of the firm Bashkirov and Company; and that the nationality
of the company had become Polish. Obviously if the municipality had not had in
its possession a copy of the agreement supplied by appellant it would have
refused his request.
On the basis of the above-mentioned resolution of the municipality appellant
registered with the Commercial-Industrial Department of the Control of the city
of Harbin from which appellant received a Promislovoe Svidelstvo Industrial
Certificate?7 for his firm "Bashkirov and Company"; in this certificate appel-
lant was described as the most recent sole owner. In 1946 the Industrial Cer-
tificate was turned over to the Department of Control of Commercial-Industrial
Enterprises in the city of Harbin, in return for which appellant received an
industrial certificate registered 26 Mar 37, 35th year of the Chinese Republic,
wherein appellant as before was described as the owner of the firm Bashkirov
and Company ZE-xhibit 17.
Also following Resolution No 174 character "Lzhe" of the Manchukuo Harbin munici-
pality appel:,_ant was registered with the Poshlinnom /sic? Bureau in early 1935,
a copy of which registration is annexed hereto ~xhibit 87.
Further, appellant's firm "Bahhkirov and Company" was registered on 31 Mar 38
with the Harbin Uchastkovom District?7 Court and appellant was registered
under No 137 xhibit 9/7.
In addition, the fact that appellant is the owner of the firm "Bashkirov and
Company" in Harbin is shown in the following documents: Certificate of
the Committee of Polish Citizens in Manchuria No 669/35 Lxhibit 107, Docu-
ment of the Harbin Commercial-Industrial Pavilion, No 172 Z~_xhibit l7 Docu-
ment of the Society of Polish Citizens in Manchuria No 300 ZE-xhibit 122, Cer-
tificate of the Polish Committee in Harbin, No 386 fE-xhibit 137.

Incidentally, the main`"?(iguipment of aplant is machine shop "Khan Sin"
"Bashkirov and Company" consists of 23 metal-working lathes; of these appel-
lant acquired only two by agreement with the former Amerikanski Akts 0-vo
GA Bashkirov and Company. Thirteen lathes were acquired by appellant himself
without the participation of anyone else. Of these, 10 were acquired by appel-
lant after the machine shops passed into his ownership. during the period
1935-1945, and eight were manufactured in his machine shops during the period
1942-1945. All this is evidenced in the documents and books of his firm.
In addition, during the period 1935-1945 inclusive, ie, during eleven years,
in addition to the basic capital of the firm, appellant put into the firm
Nat. Cur. $309,174.99 which is evidenced by the main books of his firm
"Khin Sin" "Bashkirov and Company" /Exhibit 147.
The annexed documents and the books of account of appellant's enterprise for
18 years firmly prove that this enterprise, including the machine shops, belongs
to appellant; this is true and factual.

rest of the documents which prove appellant's ownership will be furnished as
soon as the originals..' are photographed and translated into the Chinese language.
