Great Britain
Plans 10 Take
Similar Action
y. S. Sets ExompIs
in Democratic
Processes

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10-W.H
- The United States today es-
tablished an example in DEM
ocratic processes by moving to
relinquish its extra territorial
rights in China.
In announcing the decision
last night - the thirty-first an
niversary Of the revolution
which established the Chinese
Republic - the State Depart
ment said that Great Britain Is
taking similar action.
The United States has no con-
cessions in China. The British,
however, had concessions in
Shanghai, Tientsin, Annoy, Che
foo and Hangchow before they
were occupied by the Japanese.
What disposition would be
made of the British concessions
was not made known, although
it was indicated that by relin-
gushing the privileges, Britain
would abolish its entire conces-
sion system.
In any event, Hongkons
would not be affected by the
present action. That is British
territory, no longer q part OF
China.
Acting s e cretary of State
Sumner Welles notified the Chi
nese ambassador, DR.. Wei Tao
snfn tii4i the United Stajea
wishes to negotiate promptly Z
treaty providing for the immeGi-
ate REIMBURSEMENT Of this cosln-
try's rights.
DR.. Wei later issued q state
ment expressing pleasure ut the
American action. The govern
ment Of China since the Nation
alist revolution has been seek
ing abolition Of extraterritorial-
ity, considered an unjust hold
over from the days when China
was regarded as fair prey for
stronger nations.
