STRANCLE HOLD
ON MANCHURIA
Japan Given Sweeping Con-
cessions by China.
TEXT OF THE AGREEMENT

Document So Worded as to Furnish
Ground for Belief That II Violates
the "opsn Door" Policy--This Con.
vention the Indirect Cause for the
Dismissal of American Minister Des-
isnate Crane.
Washington, Nov. 1.-The full text
of the Manchurian agreement, by
which Japan has bound the Chinese
government in an inextricable tangle
of concessions and which is the sub
ject cf close scrutiny on the part Of
the United States and other powers,
has been made public.
The agreement, which was the in
direct cause of Minister Charles R.
Cranes dismissal, is found to be more
sweeping in its concessions to Japan
than was at first thought 1t provides
that all land along the MukGan rail-
road and along the main line of the
Manchurian railway excepting that at
Fushan and Yentai shall be exploited
as joint enterprises of Japanese and
Chinese subjects, uron the general
principles which the viceroy of the
three provinces and the governor of
Mukden agreed upon with the Japa.
nese consul general.
Covers Mineral Deposits.
The full effect of this provision will
develop later when Japan takes ad.
vantage of its concession. 1t may be
interpreted as covering all the mineral
deposits in the region traversed by
the railroad.
In other ways the document is sc
worded as to furnish strong ground
for the belief that it violates the
open door policy"
Article /, for example, states that
''the government of China, in the
| event Of its undertaking to construct
a railway between Hsinmintun and
Fakumen, shall previously arrange
with the Japanese government
The document appears to give Ia
pan strangle hold on Manchuria
with sufficient freedom of action tC
edge out China's influence altogether
1t covers the railroads and mines
gives the mikado full advantage in
the event of military operations and
makes Manchuria practically as sub
ject to Japanese control as Japan her
