be maintained despite any radical change
in the ownership of part of the empire.
Pledges that American rights in China
should be preserved if dismemberment be-
came a fact were asked by this Govern
ment. Partial verbal assurances that these
rights should be respected are reported to
have been given. But the United States
wanted pledges to that effect in black and
white and told the European powers so.
Then the enquiries as to the intention of
the United States toward China were made
The American answer that the preserva-
tion Of the treaty rights as to trade and
commerce only was desired was made, and
the responses from abroad to this state
ment are being awaited. That is the pres
ent situation,
One of the most interesting features of
the situation is that Russia is believed to
be disinclined to grant the request for a
written guarantee. Diplomats Well in
formed on the subject say that this is so,
and the Government is aware that such a
view is prevalent in diplomatic circles.
That Russia should be antagonistic to the
United States in this instance exci'es sur
prise, in that the Cars Government, it is
thought, should have seized the opportu-
nifty OF proving that the traditional friend
ship for America had not changed. There
was even suSpiclcu tndt Russia would
take advantage of the chance to be the first
to respond favorably to the request of this
Government for political reasons. BY so
doing she would outnaneuvre England in
manifesting friendship for the United
States. making it appear that the favorable
response of England, when ii came later,
was practically forced by Russia's action.
Another reason for the impression hereto
fore prevailing that Russia would answer
favorabiy was that her material interests
demanded a close trade alliance with the
United States, whose power to increase the
business of the Trans Siberian Railway is
very great indeed. Despite the conviction
among European diplomats that Russia
will not give the guarantee asked. the Of
ficials here are believed to be disinclined
to regard the Russian Government as hav-
ing decided on an attitude that is not cor
dial. There appears to be no doubt that
Great Britain will furnish the desired
guarantee. Germany's attitude is believed
to be favorable, but little is known about
it here. France is credited with being de-
termined not to give any assurances, and
this lends some color to the understanding
among diplomats that Russia is likewise
inclined

Ing for these pledges. In other words, the
powers interrogated, have demanded an
explanation from the American Govern
