ksdo's government has already picked the
portion OF the Chiuese territory that Japan
will demand as her share in case OF the parti.
ton OF the Chinese empire. The statement
is 40 follows: 1.-THE attitude OF japan in the
Chinese affair is precisely similar now to that
Of the United States If, however, the ques-
ton Of partition OF China should come up.
Japan's course would be compelled to ~
from thst Of this country. japan would then
declare that it would regard as an unfriendly
act any attempt upon the part of any other
power to seize Fohkien province or the treaty
port of Annoy situated in that province. Fob.
ken is separated from the Island of Formosa
only by narrow strip of water Because of
this proximity of Japan to China it would
not be necessary for the former to take part
in the partition OF the latter to safeguard her
own interest" This frank declaration of
Japsn's purpose, 1t Is believed, was officially
communicated 10 the United States State
Department today. 1t is Of special import
al CO because Annoy is the Chinese port in
which the interests Of the United States are
the greatest.
