Japan Claims Former Treaties Are Obsolete In Modern Crises Il Duce, 14 Seems, Can Do No Wrong (Continued from Page 1) both the incidents leading to its adop- tion and its main provisions. The solid basis for Japanese control, on the Chinese mainland was laid back in 1904, when at the conclusion of the surprising Russo-Japanese War, Japan became established in South Manchuria, gained complete Control over Korea and stepped'boild- ly forth as a world power--a formid- tble force to be reckoned with froni hat Ltime on by all nations interested in territory or trade in the Far East. Get German Colonies In the ten-year interim between the end of the Russo-Japanese War f md the World War, events in the Far East remained practic'ally un- changed. With the coming of the World War, however, Japan lanuched on a more determined program of expansion. Entering the War on the side of the Allies, Japan quickly cap- tured the German leasehold of Tsing- tao, and took possession of the Ger- man rights in Shahtung Province. While the European nations were busy fighting on the Eastern Front, Japan considered the tiie opportune to press bold claims in China, and, in 1915 she presented to that nation her famous Twenty-one demands, which together with some others calling for Japanese advisors to the Chinese gov- ernment, would have converted China into a Ja~panese protectorate. In accordance with its previously- announced policy of keeping an Oren Door in China for the trade of, all natioh1s,,the United States protested vigorously to the Japanese demands upon China, declaring that it would not recognize treaties conclucded on, the bas;is of those demands. Nothing definite concern':igs. the issues created by Japan's World War policy was reached until the Wash- ington Conference in 1921. Accord- ing to Lerepoip of that conference writterInrbyT. 'A. Bissolnifor the Foreign Policy Association, a series of compromises were worked out. Japan obtained two important con- cessions. First, the United States gave Committee To Aid China Will Be Organized Here A. United Committee to Aid China will be formed at a meeting to be held at 3 p.m. tomorrow in the League, for the purpose of integrating all activity being carried on locally on behalf of China. The meeting will be addressed by Molly Yard, national chairman of the Far Eastern Student Service Fund. . - . up naval supremacy by agreeing to a ratio in capital ships of five for itself and Great Britain and three foi Japan. Second, further fortifications of the island possessions of the Paci- fic powers was prohibited. Under these conditions neither the United States nor Great Britain could attack Japan I with any prospect of successq In retu:i for this assurance of security Japan agreti to restore to China the rights it had acquired in Shantng Province, although it re- tahied its extended rights in Man- churia. Japan also promised to with- draw its troops from Siberia, a pledge which it fulfilled in 1922. Japan Signs Pact Finally, Japan signed the Nine- Power Treaty. In this pact Japan pledged itself, along with the other powers, to respect China's sovereign- ty, independence, and territorial and administrative integrity, to provide China the fullest and most unembar- rassed opportunity to develop and maintain an effective and stable Aov- erinment, and to use its influence to maintain the principle of the "open door," giving all nations equal trade opportunities throughout Chinese ter- ritory. In less than ten years after the signing of the pact Japan embarked on a new program of expansion in China that has not stopped yet. Goaded by inexorable economic and political conditions, she marched into Manchuria in 1931, set up the new state of Manchukuo in 1932, and is today still persisting in her intention of establishing virtual or actual con- trol over the resources, the trade and the territory of China. Japan's drive against China has of course, precipitated conflict with the interests and policies of three powers-the United States, England and Russia. In contrast with the tra- ditional policy of aloofness from the affairs of the European countries, American policy has always been one of active interest and participation in the affairs of the Far East. When Japan advanced into Man- churia, the United States not only cooperated with action taken by the League of Nations but also made direct protests to Tokyo. On Jan. 7, 1932, Secretary of State Stimson issued the famous "non-recognition" statement saying that we would not recognize any "situation, treaty or agreement" reached between China and Japan that violated the provi- sions of the Nine-Power Treaty or the Kellogg Pact outlawing war. In 1934 when Japan announced her inten- tion of eliminating the influence of Western powers from the Far East Secretary Hull at once took issue with this position, declaring that the United States intended to maintain all its treaty rights in the Far East. The recent note sent to the Japanese government by the State Department was a continuation of the policy of protesting violations on the part of treaty-signers. Opinion Undetermined But the inescapable fact is that American protests and statements of policy .have not caused Japan to swerve from her expansionist course for one moment. As a result the atti- tude of the public toward American participation in Far Eastern affairs is vague and indeterminate, but there are certain trends that can be ascer- tainied. Many Americans believe that the United States should withdraw from the Orient and let Japan go ahead. They say that Japanese aggression is not important enough to the majority of the American people to justify going to war. They do not favor fight- ing to defend the Open Door policy, to protect American trade and in- vestments in the Far East. Other Americans insist that a policy of withdrawal will not prevent the outbreak of a war in which we are liable to become involved. They feel 3 that Japan's advance toward complete domination of the Far East has struck a fatal blow at the treaty structure in the Pacific, and will eventually endanger the security of the United States. Therefore they favor some form of concerted action which, they hope, will check Japan before war results. H. W. CLARK English Boot and Shoe Maker Our new repair department, the best in the city.
