No Interference in
Affairs of China

WASHINGTON. Oct So.-The United
States has declined TO express any opin-
ion as to whether 1t approves the pro-
posed change in China from a republic to
a monarchy.
It became known today that some OF
the interested powers In seeking to sound
the Washington government informally
had learned that the latter would take
no step that might be construed as ar
interference in the internal concerns OF
another sovereign state.
Interest In the far eastern situation
which has for months been overshadowet
by the controversy OF the European war
was revived In official quarters by a dis.
patch announcing the resignation Of the
Chinese premier, Hsu-shih-Chang. Thi,
development was regarded as significant
because a few weeks ago the premier
made public statement saying that al
a former official OF the Manchu dynast,
he would not serve under another em.
peror.
