which represents their views.
The open sympathy of the United

respects. The positions of the others

In formulating these principles,
the purpose has been kept steadily
in view of obtaining rules in accord

future political and economic prob
in the Far East and the Pacific
may be most justly settled with due
regard to the rights and legitimate
Of all the powers concerned.
Thus it has been sought to harmon
lie the particular interests of China
with the general interests of all the
world.
