Washington Endeavoring to
Reduce Friction Between
Japan and China.
NO PROTESTS MADE

Diplomats Ridicule Report That Great
Britain and Russia Have Objected TO
)apan's Attempts to Close
"Open Door,"
Washington. March 18.-The state

Washington. March 18.-The state
department has barred the door tc
any discussion of the reported repre-
sensations from this country to Japan
against her alleged violations of the
integrity Of China. It was announced
however, at the white house that rep
reservations had been made.
Important embassies here say that
the representations which have been
made to Japan are not such techni-
cally, but are Enquiries" the object
of which is to decrease the friction
between Japan and China over the
demands of The former
Officials of these embassies say it is
inconceivable and therefore not fact
that Russia and Great Britain "have
protested to Japan. One of the Of
ficials said Great Britain and Russia
are certainly not provoking trouble
with the nation which is one of the
important factors in the European
war. N'EHa
What is learned from officials here
is that the United States has done
these things:
1t has ascertained from American
sources at Toxic what the demands of
Japan on China are.
Later the Chinese minister went to
the state department and discussed
the demands with Secretary of State
Bryan. The Japanese ambassador al
so went to the state department and
had long conference with Mr.. Hry-
an. Following the ascertainment OF
facts and the views of China and
Japan, the United States undertook to
discusss with Japan the demands on
behalf of China.
The proposition of the United States
is that two of the Japanese demands
affect the open door policy. One of
these demands proposes to obtain for
Japan Exclusive mining rights" in
the Wangtse river valley. The other
proposes to give to Japan rights
which are tantamount to exclusive
tights" in the way of licenses of Jap
anese islands.
Both of these propositions are in
fragrant violation of the principle OF
the equal opportunity under the poll
cy of John Hay, which was agreed to
by RUSSIA, france, GeIMdHy, Japan
and others guaranteeing the territor-
ial integrity of China.
1t is understood the United States
in it's instructions to Ambassador
George w. Guthrie at Toxic called at
tention also to the Root-Takahirl
agreement. This has been construed
as meaning that neither the United
States nor Japan would take any
steps affecting policies in the Fal
East without consulting the other. Sc
far as is known, Japan did not in
form the United States Immediately
OF her demands on China.
The reply of Japan undoubtedly
will be as heretofore, that she does
not propose to violate the integrity o.
China and that she had already as
sured this government to that effect.
