TO the points said to be agreed upon
at Pekin, as basis for settlement
with China, MS announced In cable

taken up with the Chinese ENJOYS.
One of these is as to making the city
of Pekin an "open port" for while
II is not on the sea coast, the purpose
is to extend to IL that freedom OF
commerce and intercourse with for
eigners which now applies only to
those open ports designated by treat

this action be taken has been made
IN high Chinese quarters, and It's nd
visibility is urged because Pekin, US
the capital of the Chinese empire, Is
the center of influence throughout
the country.
