before the committee yesterday re-
enactment OF the excess profits tax

Right to Lease Land.


ut is further to be pointed out that
by articles H. III and w of the treaty
of May 25, 1915, with respect to South
Manchuria and Eastern Inner Mon
golia, the Chinese government granted
to japanese subjects the right to
lease land for building purposes, for
trade and manufacture. and for agri-
cultural purposes in South Manchuria,
to reside and travel in South Man
churia, and to engage in any kind
Of business and manufacture there,
and to enter into joint undertakings
with Chinese citizens in agriculture
and similar industries in Eastern In
ner Mongolia.
| with respect to this grant, the gov
ernment of the United States will. of
course, regard 1t as not intended to be
exclusive, and, as in the past, will
claim from the Chinese government
for American citizens the benefits ac-
rruing to them by virtue Of the most
favored nation clauses in the treaties
| between the United States and China.
II may pause here to remak that
| the question Of the validity of the
treaties as between Japan and China
| is distinct from the question Of the
| treaty rights Of the United States
under It's treaties with China: these
rights have been emphasized and con-
sistently asserted by the United
! States.

Having gone 20 Grea, Britain for It's
symphonic novelty last week. the Phil

tcrdsy afternoon than Columbia Uni

Op. II. by Professor Daniel Gregory

II was not without pleasing features,
while a vague modern French atmos-

General style was conservative and the
prevailing mood one OF lyric gravity,
with a short, ~oll defined theme de-

runs through the whole work. The

while the stormy opening. Of the hnale

gested a broad. sonorous ending for
full orchestra, but expectation was
folled by a very quiet close. The ap-
D ause was cordial. though far from
