GOING ON RECORD

America's attitude toward Japan's "hands, off China" policy was generally applauded because was **diplomatically correct" "President Roosevelt not unnatural- ly wanted to be sure of his facts so he instructed Mr. Cordell Hall to make a report on the circum- stances of America's treaty rew lations with China, which, accord- ing to an offended world, were abridged by the Japanese "hands off" declaration. Was there a real crisis behind what one official called the "journalistic crisis"? The President was informed that there was and that it involved the Nine Power treaty at the Washington Conference. This im- portant treaty was somehow side- 1racked at the start of the Man- churlan trouble. That was a pity, for while an aggressor might argue -his-way-through the Covenant-of- the League of Nations and the Pact of Paris, he cannot escape the definite commitments of the Nine Power pact. This treaty is specific down to the last dot. The eight leading nations of the world (excluding Soviet Russia and Germany) solemnly agreed to respect the sovereignty and in- tegrity of China, to assist China in maintaining and developing an effective, stable government, and to establish equal opportunity for commerce and industry in China. Japan's recognition of Manchu kno constituted a flat violation of Article 2, and Japan's effort to supervise China's financial ·re- lations with other nation's attacks the treaty in its very heart. Specifically, and' in its connection with other powers, it contravenes the fourth itera in Article 1, wherein the contracting powers

agree to refrain from taking ad- vantage of conditions in China in order to seek special rights or privileges which would, abridge the rights of subjects or citizens of friendly states.

In the circumstances of the Japanese declaration,

very delicate issue was involved. I

Japan were allowed to go on unchallenged record as a super- visor of China,

America would appear to acquiesce in Japan's claim. Wisely. President Roosevelt rejected acquiescence and he again reamrmed the Nine Power pact as the basis of American policy in the Far East. This was made without any threat and President Roosevelt again reminds the world that his foreign policy is still tied to "good neighbourliness." This applies to Japan no less than to other nations.

Maybe conditions in China have changed since the Washington Conference. But, that is no excuse for one party in an international covenant to act as if the Nine Power pact" were non-existent. The resolutions signed at the Washington Conference provided a procedure for the airing of grie- vances. One of the provisions calls for "full and trank com- munication"

among the powers. To that end B resolution WES adopted for the establishment in China of a Board of Reference for Investigation and report. Unfor tunately the board has never been
