Last summer that was the prominent
feature in every diplomatic communica-
tion sent by this country to those who
were involved in the Chinese war.
The same motives prompted the repre-
sentations recently made by this country
to both China and Russia on the Man
churian problem. wherein it was alleged
that the two countries were engaged in
secret negotiations looking 10 the prac-
teal monopoly by Russia or all CONNER
ciaI rights in that Important subdivision
OF China.
The State Department protested, inde-
pendent Of other countries, against any
such agreement.
Greet Britain and Japan have adopted
the same course, but arc working to-
gether. Japans particular interest. Of
course. is the preservation Of -KOrce- as

principle which caused the war between
Japan and China. Only Russia preyeHted
