POLICY IN THE FAR EAST
is FOR EQUITY

In the far east this government. pre-
serves unchanged its policy of sup
porting the principle OF equality OF op-
portunity and scrupulous respect for
the integrity OF the Chinese empire. to
which policy are pledged the interested
powers of both cast and west. by the
treaty of 1903 China has undertaken the
abolition OF likin with a moderate and
proportlo1ate raising of the customs
tariff along with currency reforms.
These reforms being of manifest 1d
vantage to foreign commerce as well
as to the interests of China. this gov
ernment Is endeavoring to facilitate
these measures and the needful &c
quiescencc of the treaty powers. When
1t appears that China'S likln revenues
were to be hypothecated to foreign
bankers in connection with a great
railway project. it was obvious that
the governments whose bankers held
this loan would have n certain direct
interest In the question of the carrying
out by China of the reforms in ques-
tlon. Because this railroad loan repre-
sented a practical and real application
of the open door policy through CO.
operation with China by interested pow
erS as well as because OF It's relations
to the reforms referred to above. the
administration deemed American par
ticipation to be OF great national inter
est. Happily, when it was as n matter
OF broad policy urged that this oppor
tunity should not be lost. the indispen-
sible instrumentality presented Itself
when group OF American bankers OF
international reputation and great re-
sources, agreed at once to share In tho
loan upon precisely such terms as this
government should approve. The ch ef
OF those terms was that American rail-
way material should be upon an exact
equality with that of the other nations
joining in the loan in the placing of
orders for the whole railway system.
After months of negotiation the equal
participation of Americans seems at
last assured. 1t Is gratifying that
Americans will thus take their share
In this extension OF these great high
ways of trade, and to believe that such
activities VIII give a real impetus to
our commerce and will prove n prac-
tical corollary to our historic policy
