Washington, October %, 1900
tfExcelleEcy: / have the honor TO
acknowledge the receipt of your note
of October %, enclosing the text of
an agreement between Great Britain
and Germany relating to affairs in
China which was signed in London on
the 18th instant by the Marquis OF
Salisbury and the German Amhassa-
dor on behalf of their respective
Governments and inviting the accept
anee by the United States OF the prin-
ciples recorded in that agreement.
These principles are:
&c I It is a matter of joint and per-
manent international interest that the
ports on the rivers and Httoral of
China should remain free and open to
trade and TO every other legitimate
form of economic activity for the ma
tionaIs of all countries without dis
tinCtion, and the two Governments
agres. IN their part to uphold the same
Cor all Chinese territory so far as they
can exercise influence.
II, Her Britannia Maiesty's Gov
ernment and the Imperial German
Government will not on their part
male use of the present complication
to oht ain for themselves any terrific
rial advantages in Chinese dominfons
and will direct their policy toward
maintaining undiminished the terrific
rial condition of the Chinese Empire
THE United States have hereto
fore made known their adoption OF
both these principles. During the last
year this Government invited the pow
ers interested in China to join in an
expression of views and purposes in
the direction Of impartial trade with
that country and received satisfactory
assurances to that effect from all OF
them. When the recent troubles were
at their height, this Government, On
the Sd of July, once more made an
announ cement of it's policy regarding
impartial trade and the integrity of
the Chinese Empire and had the graft
fcation of learning that all the pow
ers held similar views. And since
that time the most gratifying harmony
has existed among all the nations
concerned as to the ends to be pur-
sued, and there has been little diverg-
ence of opinion as to the details of the
course to be followed.
'1It is therefore with much satisfac-
ton that the President directs me to
inform you of the full sympathy of this
Government with those of her REitan-
mic Majesty and the German Emperor
in the principles set forth in the
clauses of the agreement above cited.
'@The third clause OF the agreement
provides
III IN case of another power
making use of the complications in
China in order to obtain under any
form whatever such territorial advan-
tages, the two contracting parties re-
serve to themselves to come to a pre-
liminary understanding as TO the even
tual steps to be taken for the protec-
tion Of their own interests in China
CAS- this clause refers to a reciprocal
arrangement between the two high
contracting powers, the Government of
the United States does not regard it.
