she was not a party.
He asked approval of the confer

not to attempt to extend their

said. is this:

powers attending this conference here

States of America, Belgium, the Brit
ish Empire. France, Italy. Japan, The
Netherlands and Portugal:
I. To respect the sovereignty. the
Independence and the territorial and
administrative integrity Of China.
"'2. To provide the fullest and most
unembarrassed opportunity to China
to develop and to maintain for herself
an effective and stable government.
%. To use their influence for the
purpose Of effectually establishing
and maintaining the principle Of equal
opportunity for the commerce and in
dustry Of all nations throughout the
territory Of China; and
-. To refrain from taking ad-
vantage OF the present condition in
order to seek special rights or privi-
leges which would abridge the tights
Of the subjects or citizens of friendly
States and from countenancing action
inimicable To, the security of certain
States
1T Is hardly necessary to point out
the great importance of this declara-
ton. 1t is, in truth, q charter con-
tanning an assurance to China OF pro-
lection from acts Of derogatton of her
sovereignty and independence and ad-
ministrative autonomy, and also an
assurance that as between the powers
there will be a careful observance of
the principle of free and equal oppor-
tunity in matters relating to China
and that no one will seek special ad-
vantages or privileges at the expense
Of the rights of others.
