Tokyo. Jan. 8.-(AP)-Japan pre-

Stimson's note invoking the nine-pow-
er treaty in the Manchurtan situa-
ton with calm," a government
spokesman said.
There is little to be said pending
official notification Of WashinRton,s

there seems not much chance Of jap
an modifying her action, which was
more or less forced upon her through
necessity.
1.-The government, however, win re-

ington's action with calm and We, of
course, will give the most careful con-
sideration to any communication
along the line Of that reported In the
press.
I'VE have made our position clear
time and again. Therefore. our first
impression is that the notes are mere
ly formal protest of the position Of
the powers"
Express Regret
The spokesman expressed regret tho
present situation, caused by the OUT
break of September 10, had hampered
business generally, but he said It
could not be helped under the CIR
cumstanceS.
I'VE stand for peace, order and
honest government In Manchuria," he
said, land we give every assurance
that our policy is one OF the open
door and equal opportunity. Our aim
Is to promote the open door In every

Japan, he said. recognizes, as has
often been stated, China's sovereignty
over Manchuria, but it Is the conten-
ton Of the government that no &C.
tual authority has ever existed there.

CHALLENGES RIGHT TO
OCCUPY CHINESE AREA

VooAAnl6IOI1, OdH. o.-NA1y-xu IOI~
NAL notes to Japan and China Thurs
day, the American government In un-
mistakable terms asserted it could not
admit Japan's legal right to occupy
Manchuria. Furthermore, 1t warned
the two that the United States does
not intend to recognize any agree
ment they might make which would
impair the open-door policy, the nine
power treaty or the Kellogg BRAND
anti-war pact.
Six other powers have been notified
Of the American action and similar
action by them is considered likely.
They were the other signatories Of
the nine-power pact besides America:
Japan, China, Great Britain, France,
Italy, Belgium, The Netherlands and
Portugal. Their ambassadors or min
listers here were handed copies Of the
note for transmission to their foreign
offices.
The despatch Of the notes followed
a series Of discussions on the whole
situation between the secretary and
the British, French and Italian am
basSadorS. Measures which would be
taken under American policy to pro-
tect interests In Manchuria were not
specified.
Stimson Refuses to Comment
Secretary Stimson did not comment
in making public the note, but it,
purpose apparently was to gather
world support for China's treaty
structure and to encourage the inter.
ested powers IN protecting their rights
in the dispute.
Meanwhile. word came from Tokyo
that the British ambassador had Inn
mediately inquired 1t the foreign OF
flee about impairment Of Hr1taSh In.
terests in the Peiping- 1Gukden rail-
way.
The only comment on the American
action at the state department Was IN
insistance that the United States
raise no question on Japan's legal
treaty rights in Manchuria. Like
wise, it was said. the United States
will not intrude IN any sino- japanese
settlement Of the problem except to
see that its rights and those 81 its
citizens are protected. The United
States would also object. It WAS added.
to any settlement forced upon the
Chinese contrary to provisions Of the
autt-war pact.

NEW YORK, March lathe cot
ton market this morning was
most inconsequential affair. At the
opening prices were or 3 points
lower, and at noon the loss had
been regained in a market without
any feature worth mentioning. The
market looks completely liquidated.
Speculative interest probably is
less than it has been for years and
We see nothing on which lower
prices can be justified if the con-
tract markets have performed the
functions for which they were crea-
ted. On the other hand, prepara-
tons are backward.
The acreage is expected to show
a substantial reduction. Sales of
fertilizer are exceptionally small.
In our opinion there is every rea-
son to expect big decrease in the
crop and by the same token a ma
terial increase in prices.
