Amerleane WatehIna Move


 WASHINGTON. July 13- Officials of the United States government are awaiting further information regard ing the new treaty between Russia and Japan before forming any iudg- ment as Go whether it will affect the open door policy or other American interests in the Far Beast.
 Outlines of the convention given in news dispatches and in brief official reports reaching the state department and the embassies here fail to dis close certain features considered yi- tai to correct construction of the document.
 While the official announcement made in Tokio reveals no feature that threatens the maintenance of the open door or otherwise menaces American trade development in the Orient, officials are much interested in a reference 10 the recognition of special interests in the Far East.
 Expect More Definite Statement
 "A more definite statement on that provision is looked for particu. larly as the interests referred to are described in the announcement as those which are recognized by the other contracting parties" This Ian guage. if embodied in the treaty might be construed. officials believe, as completely excluding the United States or any other nation except Japan and Russia from having any voice in determining what property might be regarded as either Jap anesc or Russian special interests in China, Mongolia, or Marchuria.
