Yet it is clear from the terms of the Alliance that they lie outside its provisions and were not contemplated as part of the understanding between the Powers. The Alliance was designed to check the aggression of Russia in particu lar and menace any other Power which had desigas on the integrity of China ne threatened in any way the maintenance of the open door and equal opportunity for the commerce of all nations. Japan succeedling in South Manchuria to the rights and privileges enjoyed by Rus sia, she is naturally less interested in the open door than in the days prior to the struggle of 1904-5, while Bassia is no Tonger regarded as a menace to China.
