only wished the prevent the use OF

absolutely essential that both main
tain unimpaired those sentiments Of
amity and extend and strengthen
them By every means. Notwithstand-

the two countries in the Far East and
in the Pacific, il appears that doubts
have been entertained in some quar-
ters concerning the sincerity Of the
Intentions
"In order TO remove this nisunder-
standing, the two governments have
deemed it advisable to exchange dip

common policy, which am convinc-
ed will be largely instrumental in
preserving the repose Of the Orient
