Kellogg Is to Act

by InfernatiOnaI News Service.
Despite the growing complexity
Of the. Chinese situation, the
United States is not yet ready to
adopt an Independent attitude to-
ward the Peking government, 1t
was declared officially here today.
Secretary of State Kellogg plans
to continue to cooperate with the
other governments represented at
Picking and to leave the Chinese
problem to be handled largely by
the diplomats in the Far East.
I This policy is being adhered to
for the time being chiefly because
as far as officials here can see, it
Is the only policy that the United
States can have in the. circum-
stances.

ray, at Picking, and does not want
to take any new step until he has
given MacMurray an opportunity
to survey the situation and report
upon the new political conditions
growing, out; OF civil war and anti.
foreign movements In coastal cities.
Pressure is being brought to bear
upon the Government, however, to
take q more aggressive attitude to-
ward China. such as the serving Of
formal notice on the Picking Foreign
Office, direct from Washington,
that the United States expects its
citizens and interests In the Orient
to be fully protected at all times.
An appeal to this effect has

ers charging that China is failing
to live up to her treaty obligations
and that it is UP to the United
States to make her do it.
There is no doubt that Secretary
kellogg would be pleased to take
any action that would accomplish
that purpose, but in view Of pres.
.ent turbulent conditions In China
he does not feel that much would
be- accomplished by directing a
sharp note to the Peking govern.
ment.,
J. Officials pointed out that the
inability Of the Picking government
to protect American lives and
property was plainly inferred by
the United States in landing sail,
ors and marines at the outset Of
the Shanghai riots.
Until the situation Gains down
these military Aorces will continue
to, guard American interests.
Secretary Kellogg Is giving daily
attention to the Chinese situation,

Japan Rejects Treaty Plan.

TOKYO, June 2s.-The japanese

decision on the Chinese demands
for a revision of her foreign
treaties and also the thirteen de-

The most reliable of the Japanese

that the time and conditions are in.
