nese people with whom We sought to
remain In peace and friendship. Our
declared aims involved no war against
the Chinese nations. We adhered to
the legitimate office OF rescuing the
lmperlled legation, obtaining redress
for wrongs already suffered, securing
wherever possible the safety ofiAmeri-
can life and property In China and pre-
venting q spread OF the disorders or
their recurrence. @

and international law, and safeguard
for the world the ,prineiple OF equnl and
impartial trade with all parts OF the
Chinese empire" 4
