Gave Rights to China

This treaty thus represents a
carefully developed and matured
International policy, intended, on
the one hand, to assure to all con-
tracing parties their rights and in
terests in and with regard to China.
and, on the other hand, to assure
to the people of China the fullest
opportunity to develop, without mo-
lestation, their sovereignty and in
dependence, according to the mod
ern and enlightened standards be-
lleved to maintain among the peo-
pies of this earth.
AT the time this treaty was signed
1T was known that China was n
gagged in an attempt to develop the
free institutions Of a self-governing
republic after her recent revolution
from an autocratic form of gov
eminent; that she would require
many years of both economic and
political effort to that end, and
that her progress necessarily would
be slow.
The treaty thus was a covenant

Open Door Made a Fact

In its report to the President an
nouncing this treaty, the American
delegation, headed by the then Sec
rotary of state, Charles E. Hughes
SAID.
1T is believed that through this
treaty the open door in China al
last has been made a fact"
During the course of the dis
cussions which resulted in the
treaty, the chairman of the British
delegation, Lord Balfour, had stated
that:
The British empire delegation
understood that there was no rep
resentative of any power around
the table who thought that the ole
practice of spheres of interest
either was advocated by any govern
ment or would be tolerable to this
conference.
so far as the British government
was concerned, it had, in the most
formal manner, publicly announced
that it regarded this practice as
utterly inappropriate to the exist
ing situation"
At the same time the representa-
tive of Japan, Baron Shidehara, an
nounced the position of his govern
ment as follows:
mo one denies to China her Sa-
cred right to govern herself. No
one stands in the way of China to
work out her own great national
destiny.

Hay Announces Policy

War already had taken place be-
tween Japan and China. At the
close of that war, three other ma
tons interviewed to prevent Japan
from obtaining some of the results
of that war claimed by her. Other
nations sought and had obtained
spheres of interest.
Partly as a result of these &C
lions, a serious uprising had broken
out in China, which endangered the
legations of all of the powers at
Peking. While the attack on those
legations was in progress, Mr.. Hay
made an announcement in respect
to this policy as the principle upon
which the powers should act in the
settlement of the rebellion. He
said:
THE policy of the government of
the United States is to seek a solu-
ton which may bring about per-
manent safety and peace to China,
preserve Chinese territorial and adj
ministrative entity, protect all
rights guaranteed to friendly pow
erS by treaty and international law.
and safeguard for the world the
principle of equal and impartial
trade with all parts of the Chinese
empire"
He was successful in obtaining
the assent Of the other powers to
the policy thus announced.
In taking these steps Mr.. Hay
acted with the cordial support Of
the British government.

Kellogg Pact Adopted

Six years later, the policy of self
denial against aggression by a
stronger against a weaker power,
upon which the nine-power treaty
had been based, received a powerful
reinforcement by the execution by
substantially all nations of the
world of the pact of Paris, the
So-called Kellogg BRAND pact.
These two treaties represent in
dependent, but harmonious steps
taken for the purpose of aligning
the conscience and public opinion
of the world in favor of a system
of orderly development by the law
of nations. including the settlement
of all controversies by methods of
justice and peace instead of by
arbitrary force.
The program for the protection
Of China from outside aggression
is an essential part of any such de-
velopment. The signatories and
adherents of the nine-power treaty
rightly felt that the orderly and
peaceful development of the 4Oc.-
100000 people inhabiting China was
necessary to the peaceful welfare
Of the entire world and that no
program for the welfare of the
world as a whole could afford to
neglect the welfare and protection
of China.

taken place in China, especially the
hoStilities which, having been begun

New Treaty Accepted

For twenty years thereafter, the
open door policy rested upon the in
formal commitments thus made by
the various powers. But in the win
ter of 1921-1922, at a conference
participated in by all the principal
powers which had interests in the
Pacific, the policy was crystallized
into the so-called nine-power treaty,
which gave definition and precision
to the principles upon which the
policy rested. In the first article
of hat treaty, the contracting pow
ers, other than China, agreed:
Il. To respect the sovereignty, the
independence and the territorial
and administrative integrity OF
| China.
%. To provide the fullest and
most unembarrassed opportunity tc
China to develop and maintain fol
herself an effective and stable gov.
eminent.
q. To use their influence for The
purpose of effectually establishing
and maintaining the principle O.
equal opportunity for the commerce.
and industry of all nations through.
out the territory of China.
a. To refrain from taking ad.
vantage of conditions in China il
order to seek special rights OF
privileges which would abridge tn,
rights of subjects or citizens Of
friendly states, and from counte.
name action inimical to the Sc.
curity of such states"

No Reason to Modify

The signatories of the nine-power
treaty and of the Kellogg-Briand
pact who are not parties to that
conflict are not likely to see any
reason for modifying the terms of
those treaties. To them the real
value of the faithful performance
of the treaties has been brought
sharply home by the perils and
losses to which their nationals have
been subjected in Shanghai.
That is the view of this govern
ment. We see no reason for aban-
doning the enlightened principles
embodied in these treaties. We be-
lieve that this situation would have
been avoided had these covenants
been observed faithfully, and no
evidence has come to us to indicate
that due compliance with them
would have interfered with the adj
equate protection of the legitimate
rights in China of the signatories Of
those treaties and their nationals.
On Jan. z, last, upon instruction
of the President, this government
formally notified Japan and China
that it would not recognize any
situation, treaty Or agreement en-
tered into by those governments in
violation of the covenants of these
treaties, which affected the rights
Of our government or it's citizens in
China.
If a similar decision should be
reached and a similar position taken
by the other governments of the
world, a caveat will be placed upon
such action, which, we believe, eff
fectviely will bar the legality here
after of any title or right sought to
be obtained by pressure or treaty
violation. and which, as has been
shown by history in the past,
eventually will laed to the ~restora-
ton to China Of rights and titles of
which she NAV have been deprived.

Open Door Policy in Far East
Upheld in StinSOn Statement
Secretary of State Sumsons letter to Senator William e. Borah, redfanr
ag the United States stand for the "Open Door" IN the Orient. fouoUs:

My Dear Senator Borah-You
have asked my opinion whether, as
sometimes has been suggested re-
Gently. present conditions in China
have in any way indicated that the
s~o-called nine-power treaty has be.
come inapplicable or ineffective OK
rightly in need of modification, and
if so, what / considered should be
the policy of this government.
This treaty, as you of course know
forms the legal basis upon which
now rests the "open-door" policy to-
ward China. That policy, enunci-
ated by joni Hay in 1899, brought
TO an end the struggle among va
rious powers for so-called spheres
Of interest in China, which was
threatening the ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of
that empire.
To accomplish this Mr.. Hay in
voked two principles Cd equality OF
commercial opportunity among al
nations in dealing with China, and
CD as necessary to that equality
the preservation of China's terrific
rial and administrative integrity.
These principles we're not new in
the foreign policy of America. They
had been the principles upon which
it rested in its dealing with other
nations for many years. In the case
Of China they were invoked to save
a situation which not only threat
ened the future development and
sovereignty of that great Asiatic
people, but also threatened to create
dangerous and constantly increas-
ing rivalries between the other ma
tons of the world.
