CHINA MAY BALK.
VIII Probably Refuse to Sign New
Treaty With US.


Treaty With US.
Washington, July 2s.-Some doubt is
expressed in official circles whether it
will be possible to obtain China's con-
sent to another treaty with the United
States. providing for even the exclusion
Of Chinese laborers from this country.
The state department is aware of i'll
feeling throughout China on the whole
subject and now that the immigration
treaty with China has been allowed to
lapse without the negotiation Of new
agreement, reports have reached here
that China Is inclined hereafter to re-
fuse to sign any similar convention.
Ckina's position appears to be that
the exclusion OF Chinese citizens from
"a friendly country is in itself dis.
grace, and while she cannot ignore the
laws Of d foreign power providing for
such exclusion she can refuse to sanction
it or become party to it by concluding
a treaty involving such restrictions.
A year ago, it is said, it would have
been easy to conduct negotiations with
China for the exclusion of Chinese la
borers only Now, however, it is UNI
derstood, the Chinese officials are dis
posed to regard the signing Of such a
treaty beneath the dignity Of their gov
eminent.
The reason for the assumption at
Pekin Of this new attitude is not quite
clear to the officials here, though in
some circles it is attributed to the in-
huence OF foreign powers.
