though others suggest that it was made informally with SIR A. G. ANDERSON the sole purpose of judging, from the reaction, what policy to pursue.

Attention is drawn to the similarity of the hege mony demand with certain of the tens of the Twenty- One Demands, notably those of group five, demanding Japanese advisers in political, financial and military affairs, a Japanese-controlled police force, Japanese control of munitions, and consultation with Japan be- fore accepting foreign capital for development purposes. American quarters regard the statement as a de. claration of a financial embargo on China.
