week of the fact that the French govern

that of the United States in replying to
the German note. In addition 1t was stat
ed that the government of Russia was in
line with that of France in this matter.

We're absolutely above suspicion.
There is a disposition 10 minimize the
differences between the United States and
Germany on the point OF delivery of the
Chinese ringleaders before negotiations,
and il is pointed out that our only reason
for differing was a profound conviction
that deterrent effect could only be pro-
duced upon the Chinese people as whole
by allowing their own government to de-
grade and punish the guilty parties Tho
same punishment, if applied by a foreign
power, would utterly fail of a reformatory
effect, as the Chinese people would ven
