WASHINGTON, Jan. 21-Two more
American resolutions based on the prin-
ciple of open diplomacy and an open door
of commercial opportunity in China were
adopted today by the Far Eastern com
mittee of the Washington conference.
The proposal for a show down Of all
international agreements affecting China s
interests, presented Thursday by Secre-
tary Hughes, was given committee ap-
proval only after it had been freighted
with upwards of a score of amendments,
but American spokesmen insisted tonight
that its meaning had not been materially
changed.
Under a supplemental declaration pro-
posed by Elihu Root and accepted with
little debate. the powers agree not to
support In the future any engagements
entered into by their nationals designed
to create special spheres of influence, or
exclusive opportunities within Chinese
territory.
Taken together, the two decisions were
hailed in American quarters as insuring
a new era of open dealing and fair play
in all that pertains to China's economic
development. But the Chinese delega-
tton, however,, they weCe not1 received
with an equal enthusiasm, one Chinese
spokesman saying his colleagues on the
delegation were mot very well satisfied
with the final form of the much-amended
proposal for treaty publicity.
Among the Japanese, the intent and
substance of the publicity resolution were
given warm appreciation. but grave doubts
were expressed as to the possibilities OF
it's practical application to engagements
and contract made in China by private
individuals. Throughout the committee
debate the Japanese plenipotentiaries
held to their view that the Toxic govern
ment had no authority to compel it's ma
ttonale to divulge details of their engage
ments in China, and it was said tonight
in Japanese circles that the qualifying
phrase under which lists of Chinese en-
gagements are to be "as nearly complete
as may be possible" might turn out to
be one of the most significant features
of the resolution.
AS adopted, the Hughes proposal pro-
vides that the powers other than China
agree to compile lists Of their own COM
mittments and those Of their nationals
in China, and to forward the texts Of
these agreements to the Secretary Cen
eral of the Washington conference as soon
as convenient. Future agreements of the
same character must be similarly filed
within sixty days after completion. In
two additional articles, China agrees to
be bound by the same stipulations as to
informing the other powers, and nations
not represented here are invited to ad-
here to the arrangement.
