San Francisco. Sept THAT England
and Germany actually did make COM
pact concerning China in 1900, that Ger
many did not wish Manchuria to be in
cluded in ;his understanding, and, there
fore. Germany probably did not wish to
come into the proposed Anslo-JapanS Sc
alliance, are shown in further extracts
from the diary of the late Count Tadasu
Hayashi, former Foreign Minister OF
Japan, printed in the Jill Shimpo,' oil
Toxic, under date OF August 81, copies OF
which were received here to-day. The
paper shows the work Of the japanese
censor, but Count Hayashi is quoted quite
fully concerning many features Of ths
negotiations that led up 10 the Anglo
Japanese treaty.
At that time Prince Ito was in Europe.
ostensibly on a pleasure trip. During the
negotiations between the English and Jap
anese diplomats Count Ito was visited in
Berlin by Count Hayashi and told not to
negotiate with Russia for treaty at
fecting the policies Of these nations In
the Far East.
Count Hayashi's diary states that Prince
Ito however. had adopted a number Of
amendments to the proposed treaty, espe-
cially as affecting Japsn's policy in Cores.
The treaty provided that Japan should
have free hand in the development OF
her policy in Corea.
The understanding regarding China was
distinct II provided for the open door
and for territorial integrity OF China.
Germany, according TO Count Hayashi.
was notified that this alliance between
Japan and Great Britain had been made,
and also was told of its significant nat
ure as affecting Chinese territorial in
tegrity.
Concerning the proposition TO include
Germany. thus forming a new triple ALI
ance, Count Hayashi's diary states that
this proposal first came from Germany
but Germany was not desired by Japan
as a third party because England and
Germany at that time were not on espe-
cially friendly terms. Count Won Bulow
had made speech denouncing Great
Britain. says Count Hayashi. and the
III glish people were very angry about
this" Count Hayashi says
Especially We did not invite Germany
into the alliance, because AT the time the
relations between England and Germany
we're not favorable However. such an
alliance was first suggested by Germany
(the German Embassy In London). But
AT this time il does not appear that they
wish to come in" Count Hayashi init
mates that an understanding existed be-
tween Russia and Germany regarding
China. although he makes but passing
reference TO 1t. He says:
Therefore In view OF the relations
between Germany and Russia. Germany
In the first place did not want Ia come
in at all In 1909. when England and Ger
many made a compact concerning China.
Germany wished Manchuria not to be in
Guided in this compact Therefore ! can
imagine that Germany does not wish TO
come into tfrs alliance. AS | said be-
fore. the position OF England and Ger
many was not favorable. so Ne did not
persuade Germany 10 come in"
Count Hayashi states that England did
not wish that formal announcement be
made OF the signing W the Anglo-Japan-
Csc treaty. but wished TO have II become
nubIic informally. Japan, however, IN
sisted that a formal announcement be
made TO all nations. In order that there
should be no misunderstanding OF the
rolicv OF the allies regarding China and
