dressed an identical note to number Of Euro
pean powers TO ascertain If they are willing 20
join in a notice TO Russia and Japan that dur
ing hostilities and thereafter the neutrality and
integrity OF China must be recognized. Details
Of the note are not obtainable in advance of the
receipt OF the replies.
The note has created a great sensation I'm
diplomatic circles here.
II is further learned that the proposition OF
the United States contemplates a restric-
ton of hostilities and the consequent hardships
OF to the smallest possible area. Just what
this means is not made clear to the public. but
the determination may have the greatest effect
upon the struggle between Russia and Japan.
1t is almost certain that neither wiz be allowed
to invade China proper, and that IT, y may not
with hostile intent go southwark below Shan
Hai-Kwan. on the border line between Chilli
and Manchuria. It is grave question whether
not II will apply also to Corea which Is striv-
ing desperately to preserve neutrality and pre-
vent invasion but the general opinion is that
it IS too late in that case 20 do more than seek
to preserve Corean Independence after the war
No explanation is accorded as to whether Man
