FEAR j. s. MUST
HELP CHINA ALONE
New Japanese Demands Inter
est Washington Official
dom Deeply.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 27.-Await-
ing confirmation from official
sources as a necessary preliminary
TO any action by the United States.
state department officials were deep
~ interested Wednesday in the re-
port from London that the Japanese
government has revived all OF the
demands upon China, included in
the famous group five Of the list
Of proposals submitted 10 the
Picking government more than a
year ago for a permanent settle
ment OF outstanding issues between
japan and China.
Z. :. May BE Alone.
There is a conviction in official
circles here that any action at this
time likely 20 have results toward
warding Off the new japanese de-
nands must be taken by the United
States practically alone. With every
evidence Of sympathetic interest by
the European entente allies in the
attitude OF opposition which the
United States assumed when the
proposals in group five" originally
were submitted IL is believed that
none Of these powers will be in
clined TO take issue with Japan at
a moment when they are leaning
heavily upon their oriental ally not
only for munitions of war but for
military and naval protection Of
their interests TN the orient
The very close study that has
been made in Washington Of the
proposals embodied in group five"
has only confirmed officials in their
original belief that il accept ID in
full by China without protest from
other nations. they would lead not
only to material and industrial but
even political domination OF China
by Japan.
Would Close Open Door.
While not prepared to make an
issue on that point. however. the
state department is convinced that
the other provisions Of group five
finally would close to American
commerce and enterprise the open
door in China
II is gathered from the British
newspaper advices that in addition
TO reviving the demands in group
five" as they stood at the close Of
the negotiations in Peking last Jan
uary, the Japanese proposals again
include a provision aimed at a bud
ding American enterprise in Fukien
province. and a proposal to police
all OF the large Chinese cities with
Japanese.
In the absence of official advices
in matter OF such importance,
officials positively decline to indi-
cate what course will be followed
by the United states government.
Ambassador Guthrie at Toxic and
Minister Reinsch at Picking will be
called upon for complete informa-
ton.
