China's Retort Obvious To Tokyo Contention

Chungking, To-day.

"The contention that the Nine-Power Treaty be re- vised or abolished because of faits accompli brought about by acts in violation of that trea- ty, is absolutely untenable," stated the Chinese Foreign Minister, Dr. Wang Chung-hui, yes- terday.

Dr. Wang was commenting on the alleged conten- tion on the part of the Japanese Foreign Min- ister, Mr. Arita, in his interview with the Bri- tish and American Ambassadors in Tokyo that "the present changed conditions necessitate revision of the principle of equality of oppor- tunity or the open door in China as formally embodied in the Nine-Power Treaty.”

NOBEL PRIZES PRESENTED

Dr. Wang Chung-hui declared: "Though the report lacks official confirmation it would not be sur- prising in view of Japan's flagrant violation of the Nine-Power Treaty in recent years should she advance one step further and demand vision or abrogation of the treaty.

"I wish therefore to declare once more that the Nine-Power Treaty was the result of careful delibera- tion at the Washington Conference the Peace Prize, were presented in 1921 and 1922, and was entered yesterday by King Gustav of upon freely by all its signatories, Sweden in the town hall. including Japan.

"The treaty has neither a time limit nor any provision concerning its termination, thus showing that the two great principles embodied

LASTING ORDER

"In other words the treaty was designed to bring about lasting order and peace in the Pacific area which could not be legally terminat- ed by any single country.

"Furthermore, the 'new, situation in East Asia, as alleged by Japan, was entirely brought about by her violations of the Nine-Power Treaty.

"The contention that the treaty be abolished because of faits ac- compli by the acts of violation of that treaty, is absolutely untenable."
