teresfs IN Manchurla that the interests
or any foreign power therein, however
Important they may be in themselves,
cannot compare with them. The fact Of
close propinquity Of MaRchuria to Korea,

AS to the statement that assurance
was given by the American British and
French governments at the time of the
forTnation Of the International consortiurn

delegation do not feel In a position, since
China was not consulted at the lime, ID

to The traders Of the worlS and while
there may be necessity to provide for
