It IL understood now that the chief
fight between China and Japan at

longed discussions"

enunciated regarding territorial, eco

for China should be applied only to
the present.

In discussing the Chinese proposals
3 Mr.. insolvency says:
The proposals OF China provide:
Il. The open door.
'2. Abrogation of secret treaties af.
fecting her interests.
%. A new instrument for making
effective the treaties which will be
arrived at.
"China's proposals are a direct blow
at the spheres of influence Of foreign
nations who bring about the con.
ditions In China which they profess to
an excuse for their nonobservancc
Of repeated pledges to respect the in.
dependence and integrity of China.
1T was clear to all observers that
China would find friends among the
nations that were threatened with
isolation. Few expected, however
that France would 30 quickly respond
by reacting to the Chinese case. After
two hours conference with his col
leagues, Premier BRAND arrived at
the following general conclusions,
which will form the basis OF French
proposals with regard to a settlement
of the Far Eastern problem,
81. France desires to aid China in
realizing her ambitions: territorial, po-
ltical, and commercial.
20. France would surrender Kou-
ang Tcheou, which she leased from
China i'm 1898, provided Great Britain
gave up Wei-Hei-Wei, and Japan re-
linquished Shantung and Port Arthur.
"3. France would not be unwilling
To surrender her extra-territorial priv
ileges were other powers willing to do
The same, China to be in a position to
Guarantee security and justice to for
'igners.
-. Although France does not re
sard Indo-China as Chinese, she is
boundary with China.
This Is tremendous advance to-
ward the heart of the Far Eastern
problem. The French attitude places
the other powers on their defense be-
fore the world. II France can sur
render her interests In China, why not
England and Japan? China il no
longer on the auction block.
"The mind of America Is definitely
made up regarding China. Where
France leads Britain should not hest
ate to follow. Were Great Britain to
surrender the territory in China which
she occupies II would be impossible for
Japan to hold on to the spoils which
she has acquired. Were the spheres
of influence wiped out and China re-
stored to complete independence there
would be no Far Eastern problem to
darken the world with shadows OF
war"
