policy of Japan in the Far East. 1t
is to him that the President and Mr..
BRYAN must look for counsel AMI
guidance during the conference at Pc.
kin to consider the demands made by
Japan upon China at time when the
European Governments with interests
In China are powerless to do more
than register protests
In Washington there seems to he a
disposition to doubt Japan's concern
for the sanctity Of Article ". of the
Treaty OF Portsmouth. in which ia
pan and Russia reciprocally engaged
mot to obstruct any general meas
common to all countries which China
may take for the development of the
commerce or industry of Manchuria."
Further. there Is some apprehension
that Japan aims 10 force upon China
a guardianship that will amount to
suzerainty, thus partly closing the
Open Door. Japan protests that she
is settling with China differences OF
long standing and has no designs
upon her integrity. II is true that
for several years, going back to 1908,
there have been disputes between
them about new railroad construction

CARDS what Japan considers her
sphere of influence in China she does
not intend to be hampered by the
Western Powers. 1t may turn out
that she is resolved to add to her
claims in South Manchuria and East

enough that she has no present inten-
tion Of yielding Kiao-chow to China.
but Is planning to develop the terri

road promotion and in other ways.
Until full particulars Of the course

Japan to assume that she Is delibe:-
