MOMENTOUS EVENT
OF THE WAR PERIOD
United States-Japan Agreement
Destined to Have Effect
on Germany.

washington, Nov. 8.-Formal announce
ment to-day Of the agreement between
the United States and Japan in regard to
China was greeted in diplomatic and off,
cial circles as one of the momentous
events of the war period. Its effect Is ex-
pected to be far-reaching both upon fu-
ture developments in the Far East and on
the prosecution Of the war against Ger
many.
This momentuo;ls development was an
nounced to-day by Secretary Lansing, who
made public notes exchanged by him and
viscount Ishii, the special Japanese am
bassador, formally recording an agreement
recognising that Japan has a special in
terest in China, but pledginG the in
dependence and territorial integrity OF
the great eastern republic and reaffirming
the doctrine of the "open door" for COM
merce and industry.
In statement accompanying the note,
Mr.. Lansing said Viscount Ishii and the
members of his mission, now on their way
home, had performed a service OF the
highest value to the United States as we'll
as to Japan. by clearing away any mis-
| understandings. which, IL unchecked.
, promised to develop a serious situation in
the Far East. He spoke Of an attitude of
constraint and doubt fostered by a cam
paign Of falsehood adroitly and secretly
carried on by the Germans, and said that
through the frankness and cordially of the
Japanese commissioners the propaganda
of years had been undone in few days.
Until last night, when an Associated
Press cable dispatch from Picking an
nounced that the Japanese ambassador
there had informed the Chinese foreign
Office of the signing of an agreement by
Secretary Lansing and Viscount Ishii. il
had not been known generally that the
delicate far eastern question had been
taken up at the conference between the
| commissioners and American officials. In
! fact. It was stated authoritatively soon
after the missions arrival in Washing
ton, that such problems would not be
touched upon and as the conferences
progressed the general understanding was
that such subjects as Japans needs for
steel for shipbuilding and American gold
for trade balances were engrossing atten-
ton. 1t now develops that these latter
| questions have been left to the resident
Ambassador. Amaro Safe. to work out
with the proper officials of the American
| government
| Comment on the dispatch from Picking
| was withheld last night, because of ar
understanding between the two govern
ments that the announcement should be
made. to-day simultaneously at Wash
