Ambassador, the conference went
squarely on record as declaring that
nothing in the resolutions adopted
in any way affected the consortium
plan. The declaration to this effect
was as follows:
"Of course 1t Is clearly understood
that there is nothing in this resolu-
ton which affects. one way or the
other, the existing international
consortium or any other form of
voluntary cooperation among pri-
waite financial or Industrial groups
In different countries. which may
Join together in a manner not in
volving monopoly or, infringement
Of the principles -recognfzed by the
conferences in order-to furnish China
with some essential service most
efficiently and economically to DO
provided by united effort"
Remarks By shidehara.
In connection with the Japanese
position the remarks OF Baron
shidehara were of deep interest.
He said: =
The japanese delegation under
stands that one of the primary OBJ
jects which the present conference
On Far Eastern questions has in
view is to promote the general well
fare of the Chinese pes,plo and. a,
the same time. Of ALI nations inter
ested In China. For the realization
of that desirable end. nothing is of
gerater importance than the devel-
tied natural resources of China.
fq m oil oil
China is a country with immense
personalities. She is richly en-
dowed by nature with arabic soi,.
with mines and with raw materials
of various kinds. But those natural
resources are of little practical
value. 50 long as they remain un-
developed and unutilized. In orcer
to make full use Of them. IL seems
essential that China shall open her
own door to foreign capital and to
foreign trade and enterprise.
Asks Chinese Cooperation.
Touching on this subject. DR.. see,
on behalf of the Chinese delegation,
made an important statement at the
full committee on November 16, de-
claring that China wishes TO make
her vast natural resources available
TO all people who need them That
statement evidently represents the
wisdom and foresight of China. and
the Japanese delegation is con.
f1dent that the principle which il
enunciated will be carried out to its
full extent.
1T is to be hoped that, in the
application of that principle, China
may be disposed to extend to fer
eigners, as far as possible, the on
portunity of cooperation in the de-
velopment and utilization of China s
natural resources. Any spontane-
Gus declaration by China of her
policy In that direction will be re-
ceived with much gra tffication by
japan and also. no doubt. by all
other nations interested In China.
Resolutions. which have hitherto
been adopted by this COMMITTEES
have been uniformly guided by the
spirit of self-denial and self-sacri-
nee on the part of foreign powers
In favor OF China, The Japanese
delegation trusts that. China, on her
part. will not be unwilling to for
mulate a policy which win prove
70 considerable benefit. no less TO
China herself than to all. nations .,
