WASHINGTON, May after having
preserved an absolute silence for nearly
three months on the Chinese-Jap anese
negotiations, and at the moment when
Japan IL threatening 20 use force TO
compel china TO accede 10 her demands,
the Administration made n definite an
nouncement tonight Of ito policy.
This Official statement contains moth
Ing contradictory to what has been
understood To be the attitude of this
Government. though IL indicates an even
more compliment view OF the situation
than had been supposed. II is presumed
that the Administrators long silence
was broken az this moment because
OF the critical state to which the reia-
lions o; China and Japan have been
brought.
The statement il interpreted here TO
mean that tho Administration has ac-
cepted a. face value all Of the assurances
OF the Japanese az 10 their intentions
with respect TO China. The statement
IS regarded ~ cvldencing that the Ad-
m!nlstration has given It's ear more TO
the Japanese assurances than 20 the
plaIrts OF China The Chinese attitude.
20 nade known officially and otherwise,
can hardly be- regarded as indicating
that China considered the japanese de-
plands s,s IN the Interest Of It's welfare
and progIess" OF satisfactory 10 both
nations or as contributing 10 the pros
D.rity Of both u these great Oriental
empires.
