Statement by President
Sun Yat-sen.
Canton, September 5.-Tha legal Government of the Re- public of China has to-day issued the following declaration by President San Yat-sen on Chinese respresentation at the Washing. ton Conference.
"The President of the United States of America bas invited China to participate in the dis- cussion of Pacific and Far Eastern questions at a Confar- ence to be held at Washington.
"The Government of the Re- public of China, whereof I am the duly constituted Chief Execu- tive, affirms that no settlement of these questions is possible as long) as China is not set free from the policy which is defined a elaborar- ed in the Twenty-one Demands and further worked, out in the series of secret agreciments, loans and concessions conèinded and [granted by Hsu Shib-chang's ad- ministration in favor of Japan. All other questions are sub- ordinate to this menacing policy whose unchecked prosecution involves eventually an alion domination of Chins with her | man-power and natural resources.
"To secure her release from this policy of domination. China, must be represented at the Con- ference by a delegation under the direction of an Administration that is not only the legal Govern- ment of the Republic but is not committed and is not compromis- ed by its dealings and relations with the Foreign Power pursuing that policy.
"Hsu Shih-cbang and bis administration are so committed and so compromised. He was Secretary of State of the administration which misanaged the negotiations connected with the Twenty-One Demands and in consequence sacrificed vita! Chinese rights. He and his administration concluded the Secret Agreements of 1918, and other secret and illegal transac tions impairing the independence and integrity of China and subjecting Chinese economic
resources
