The interest with which the Soviet delegation is reported to be following the negotiations be- tween Japan and the United States said to be for the conclu- sion of an arbitration treaty, is not shared by Mr. Quo Tai-chi, In an interview with Reuter, the Chinese diplomat expressed the opinion that the Interests of China and the United States in the Pacifle were perfectly uniform. He was sure that the United States. will not enter into conversations projudicial to Chinese interests.

It will be recalled that the first report of negotiations for an are bitration treaty emanated from Tokyo, attributing the commence- ment of discussions to that end by | Viscount Ishii.

The report was immediately mot· with a statement by President' Roosevelt denying that such a question was raised at any time during Viscount Ishif's visit to Washington.--Router.
