Diplomatie eireles here think it is certain that a final settlement will come with the end of the Sino- Japanese hostilitles.

Whatever the, military outcome of the hostilities, there is certain to be revaluation of the spheres of in- fluence in the Far East, diplomatic circles say.

The favourable public reaction to the naval action at Kulangsu la con- sidered to be indicative of support for the existing Far Eastern policy.
Fair Settlement
It is believed that, although the United States is unwilling to court military involvements in the Far East through concentrating military forces or fortifying Guam, the United States is ready to insist on a fair settlement of the issues which ere indirectly at stake in the present Sino-Japonese
conflict. of the opinion that the "open door," extraterritoriality and other matters are not involved and that any Japanese attempt to "in" ject them would be strongly resisted. —United Press.
