CASSINI ACCUSES JAPAN
OF INVOLVING CHINA

I Of international law had been complied
with
But is ii not a new point In interna-
| tional law that warship fleeing from
an enemy can find asylum In a neutral
port ana be secure from capture simply
oy lowering her cOlOrs and disarming
and giving these weapons into the keep
ing OF a neutral power?'
1t Is not at all new: IL is a recog-
nlzed principle. II has occurred I'm

or the United States. When this is done
TO warship as a belliEerent vessel. as
q fighting craft she ceases to exist
see Japan now. instead Of returning
our destroyer to Chetoo and restoring
her to the Chinese, is seeking to bully
China and compel her to send from
other harbOrs other Russian ships which
have been similarly disarmed and dis
mantled.
Thus the situation becomes addi-
uonaliy grave. l cannot help thinking
that out OF the Chefoo incident viii
grow very big consequences
Powers Must Make Good.
Have you any idea as to how the
powers are likely to line up on the
question:"
Il can't speak of that; il is not with
in my province. All the nations that
signed the Pekin agreement are inter-
ested-the United States, Great Britain,
France, Germany, Italy, Belgium. all
are interested. You know the great
nations that have been regarded IN Eu-
rope as being behind Japan in this con-
test. Well. we shall see what position
they take now"
Have you noticed the report from
Pekin that the Chinese government
seems to contemplate sending 10000 ad-
dittonal troops to Shang- Hai-Kwan?
II have, but I do not know its signlf-
canoe. Any move of that sort will be
regarded by those who hope for the con-
tinued neutrality of China with appre-
hension."
America Meddled With COntraband.
"Can you give any information az to
the progress of the controversy over
eontraband Of war. the sinking Of the
Knight Commander. etc. ?"
II know little about its progress. The
United States has generally enforced
neutrality, and We had expected to see
her hold aloof from the controversy. I
have seen reports that the United States
and Great Britain were to present a
joint note regarding contraband of war
and ask that flour and fOOdstuffs be
exempted. This was denied and then
Il was reported that the notes were to
be separate but parallel. But that is
not the great question which confronts
the diplomacy Of these countries ana
mine today. The great question is the
violent abrogation by Japan of the neu-
trality Of China, at Chefoo."
