UNTENABLE
Chungking, December 12. "The contention that the Nine-Power Treaty be revised or abo- lished because a falt accompli has been brought about by acts in violation of that treaty, is absolutely untenable," stated Mr. Wang Chung-hul, Chinese Foreign Minister, commenting on the contention by Mr. Arita, Japanese Foreign Minister, in interviews with the British and American Ambassadors to Tokyo, that "the present changed conditions necessitated a revision of the principle of equa- lity of opportunity, or the 'Open Door' in China as formally em- bodied in the Nine Power Treaty."
