CHINA'S INTEGRITY

Chungking, To-day.

"The principle of the Open Door is inseparable from China's integrity and complete independence,” stated Mr. Li Ti-tsu, director of the Publicity and Intelligence Department of the Chinese Foreign Office, in a special article appearing in the "Ta Kung Pao.” -

The article states: "Only in an independent China

will the Open Door be possible."

Mr. Li Ti-tsu

Mr. Li emphasised that a

China will not result in a closed door,

since China must rely on foreign machinery and technical capital,

her economic de- assistance for velopment."

He declared: "Closing the door by China is neither necessary nor possible."

After discussing in detail the historical evolution of the Open Door Doctrine, Mr. Li stated that the maintenance of China's inde- pendence and integrity imposes the Open Door concept.

IMMEDIATE MEASURES

He further points out in the trea- ties concluded since 1900, the pre- servation of the principle of the Open Door and the maintenance of China's integrity have always been mentioned together, the latter be-. ing a necessary prequisite of the former.

In conclusion, Mr. Li urges the powers to apply immediate and ef- fective measures to curb Japan's aggression and so maintain the sanctity of their treaty obligations and preserve the conditions of peace in the Pacific and to protect their rights and interest"in China. -Reuter,
