WATCHFUL WAITING
AMERICA’S POLICY.
MORE EFFECTIVE THAN NOTE.
PRESIDENT COOLIDGE’S BELIEF.
BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. Received 10.20 a.m. to-day. WASHINGTON, May 3.
It is reported that the instructions from Tokio to the Japanese Ambassador, Mr Matsuduri, to urge united action by the Powers in the Chinese situation, is not expected to change the State Department’s policy. President Coolidge and the Secretary of the State Department (Mr Kellogg) believe the policy of watchful waiting is more effective, for the moment, than a second strong Note demanding satisfaction from the Nationalists for the Nanking outrages. The State Department further denied that it had instructed Mr Mac Murray (the Ambassador in China) to send the Nationalists a separate American Note. Officials intimated that the Government is willing to continue the policy of joint action with the Powers, in the form of identic Notes, provided that these are not rushed and do not contain a punitive ultimation. Mr Coolidge denied that Mr MacMurray is resigning because he wants a stronger policy.
