To our representatives the open
door" will mean that in China and
Siberia every nation shall have tho
same rights as any other nation;
that there shall be no discrimination
Or favoritism in the matter of con
cessions. trade and the rights and
privileges of different nationals
Our representatives will insist that
American economic interests shall
not be destroyed as a consequence
Of the exercise Of political control
by any other government
The demand for the international
recognition OF the principle Of the
integrity Of China is a necessary co.
ordlnating factor inevitably coupled
with the advocacy OF the doctrine OF
the-npGH~door. So far as the in
tegrity OF China has been main
tained, even nominally. It is con
sequence Of the course OF the United
States in the past.
Finally, 10 is the view of our gov
eminent and will be the contention
Of our representatives that .h.
o-Japanese alliance has been
the Influence which has enabled
Japan to threaten the doctrine OF
the open door and the principle of
the integrity of China. Therefore
10 eliminate the alliance is an es-
sential step in giving real vitality to
the other two points.

nahpower Of China. Manchuria and
SIBERIA, she will not only dominate
the far east, but will be serious
menace TO occidental civilization. II
Is necessary for our government 10
take cognizance Of this possible
domination by Japan and to preven;

venture upon second quotation
and from the same source because
nowhere else have I found the Off

and accuracy:
