Crowder Gives Advice.
That was the declaration at the Of

der yesterday on the eve of the formal
publication of the Questionnaires and
the beginning of their distribution to
the 100000 registered men.
ITO the registrant who seeks ex-
emption or deferred classification must
be assigned a part; his duty will be
to furnish complete information to
support his claim, and he must do this
through the medium of his question

In this connection it is recognized
that the completion and filing of this
instrument will require considerable
care; and 1t is also recognized that
lack of education and unfamiliarity
with our language will cause many
men either to fail to return the same
or to return 1t in so unsatisfa etory
condition as to compel a local board to
return it to the registrant again and
again for correction. thus delaying the
classification by the local boards and
impeding the work of responding to
the calls for quotas.
1T Is important to cur success in
this conflict that our local boards be
furnished with this information quick

China ACCEDES
IN PRINCIPLE TO
WITH TOXIC
That Interpretation Placed
by State Department on
Minister Note.

The State Department considers that
practical acquiescence by China TO the
principles laid down in the exchange
of notes between Secretary of State
Lansing and Viscount Ishii is contain
ed in the text of China's note made
public yesterday.
While the declaration of the princi-
pie that China will be bound only by
her own treaties is recognized. State
Department officials were careful not
to allow the note to be characterized
as a protest"
Text of Communication
The text of China's comment fol-
lows:
THE government of the United
States and the government of Japan
have recently, in order to silence mis-
chievous reports. effected an exchange
OF notes at Washington Sconcerning
their desires and intentions with re-
gard to China. Copies of the said
notes have been communicated to the
Chinese government by the Japanese
Minister at Pekin; and the Chinese
government. in order to avoid mis-
understanding, hastens to make the
following declaration, so as to make
known the views of the government.
The principle adopted by the Chi
neSe government toward the friendly
nations has always been one Of JUS
tice and equality; and Consequently
the rights enjoyed by the friendly ma
tions derived from the treaties have
been consistently respected, and so
even with the special relations be-
tween countries, created by the fact
of territorial contiguity. it is only in
so far as they have already been pro-
vided for in her existing treaties.
"Hereaftcr the Chinese government
will still alhere to the principle
hitherto aGopted, and hereby it H.
again declared that the Chinese gov
ernment will not allow herself TO he
bound by any agreement entered into
by other nations"
Principle Is Recognized.
In this note China admits that spe-
cial interests exist between contiguous
countries. She maintains that in her
own case they will only be recognized
by her own treaties with those coun-
tries.
But that she has recognized the
principle, and says she will continue
to do so, through her own treating, is
regarded as an acceptance of the
"pan-Americanism" doctrine which
the I.ansing-Ishi notes are asserted
to apply to the relations between the
United states and the Far East.
1t ~ in this sense that the State
Department refuses to consider the
Chinese comment a protest" Fur
ther explanations to China or further
action in the matter is not projected.
