which the United States has proceeded
thus far
There is no reason whatever why the
United States should accept the invita-
ton involved in thIs@e.Anglo-A American
agreement. What these two. or any
other or more European nations may
agree among themselves, Is not neces-
sarily matter of concern to this@peo-
pie, save SO far as 1t may involve an
interference with the treaty rights of
the United States In China or a closing
of the ports of China or any of them
to a free world commerce There is alb
solutely no occasion, either present or
prospective, which calls for any ratif1ca-
ton, either expressed or implied, by the
United States, of this Anglo-German
document; and there are several consid-
erations which might be mentioned why
this government should take the position
of indifference to all or any special
agreements made on the part Of any
number short of all the DowerS con-
cerned in the Chinese situation.
