Endorses Principle Laid Down In Lam

OF Contiguous Countries.

Washington. Nov. 1.-THE state
department considers that practical
acquiesence by China to the princi-
pies laid down in the exchange OF
notes between Secretary OF state Lam

In the text of China's note made pub

the principle that China will be bound
only by her own treaties Is recognized,

The text of China's comment lis as
follows:
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 ut Washington concerning
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 Picking; and tie Chinese
government, in order to avoid mfsun-
Outstanding, hastens to make the fol-
lowing declaration so az to make
known the views of the government
The principle adopted by the Chi
aEHC government to~aEuA AHE lEiG1IAif
nations has always been one of Jus
tfce and equality; and consequently
the rights enjoyed by the friendly ma
lions 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, IL is only in
sofar rs they have already been pro-
vided for In her existing treaties.
Hereafter the Chinese government will
still adhere to the principle hitherto
adopted, and hereby 1t is again de-
clared that the Chinese government
Will not allow herself to be bound by
any agreement entered into by other
nations"
In this note China admits that spe-
ciai interests exist between contiguous
countries. She maintains that in her
own case they will only be recognised
by her own treaties with those coaA-
Lries, But that abe has recognized
the principle, and says she will con-

tween the United States and the Far

partment refuses to consider the CHI

recognized that there may be some
