U. S. RIGHTS IN CHINA
MAY BE RELINQUISHED
Stimson, in Note to Nanking,
Offers to Participate in
Negotiations.
BY the Associated Press.

An offer by the United States to the
Chinese government to participate in
neeotiat ations to devise method for the
gradual REIMBURSEMENT of American
extraterritorial rights in China was con-
tanned In a recent note to the Nanking
government. made public today by Sec
retary Stimson.
The note was in reply to one of the
Chinese government of April 81, re-
ouesting the American Government to
abandon .extraterritorial rights in
China.
The American communication dealt
specifically with the question of ex-
traterritorial jurisdiction and recalled
the fact that the present arrangement
under which the United States exer-
cises Jurisdiction over its citizens in
China was through realization on the
mart of both governments that such a
procedure would be wise because of the
d1fferences between the customs of the
two peoples and their judicial systems.
While the note put forward the sug-
pestion for a consideration of gradual
REIMBURSEMENT, 1t pointed out that until
an independent judiciary, interpreting
fairly known set of laws, has been set
i'm in China, the United States does
not feel it can abandon the present
extraterritorial system.
