Washington, Oct. 9. - Following
conclusion Of the German-ltalian-
Japanese pact, the state department
in Washington is considering the
possible necessity of evaCuat;ng about
5000 Americans from Shanghai, in
view of the danger they'll be in If
the Mikado undertakes Il complete
grab Of this supremacy important
port on the Chinese coast.
It's Suggestion well calculated TO
make any Yankee, who knows some
thing of the Shanghai background,
exceedingly not under the collar.
The foreign city of Shanghai
doesn't belong to China. It's extra
territorial. The United States owns
an undivided interest in it, along
with other overseas powers: AL
though it's undivided. it's as much
ours as our 100 per cent interest in
Honolulu is-Or San Francisco or
Chicago or any other place over
which the Stars and Stripes float.
We have our own American court
in Shanghai. our own post office,

laneous businesses. Our marines do

pinch a laWbreaking American in an
emergency, but he's promptly sur
rendered to our consular officials, to
be attended to as they see fit. 1t
isn't denied that Jap policeman is
entitled temporarily to restrain an
unruly American or Briton, but only
to be surrendered Immediately to his
own nationality's representatives,
just as we'd hand over an ugly Jap
to his folks for trial.
In our case an offending American
if petty nuisance, upon conviction,
gets a term in our Shanghai consular
jail. If some American major mis-
creant gets 4 long sentence, which
would make him q bother locally,
he's shipped over to San Quentin to
serve out his time. Ditto all the
