Berlin March 2S.---The Associated Press
has high authority for saying that the
government of the United States has
been sounding Germany as to how far
the latter country would go toward
maintaining the open door" In China.
This inquiry. which was initiated prior
to the trip of Prince Henry to the United
States. was not made with the object
of eliciting ll-phrased writings on the
subject. nor general assurances. nor
even so-called guarantees. as the ad-
ministration at Washington. according
to information here, thinks there has
been quite enough OF such diplomatic
exchanges. but the purpose of this in
auIry was to learn for the guidance OF
Washington whether Germany. in any
event, would take a resolute stand for
equal trade opportunities.
This inquiry resulted In obtaining
from the very head of the German en-
pire the expression that Germany, while
willing to take an Identical attitude with
the other powers for the open door"
would not In final instance oppose
something that Russia really desired.
This Is the first principle OF Germany's
exterior policy. and 1t applies fully to
the East Asian question.
