U.S.A. ENDORSES OPEN DOOR.
REVISION or NINE-POWER TREATY OPPOSED.
PARALLEL WITH MONROE DOCTRINE.
{By Telegraph-Pfess Assn.-Copyright.) (Received This Day, 10.20 a.m.) WASHINGTON, Feb. 2A.
The United States stood firmly t#--day behind the “Open Door” policy dn China, and disputed Japan’s claim that the Nine-Power Treaty should (be raised because China was not able to -maintain order.
In an open letter to Senator Borah, ■Chairman of the Senate Foregin Relations Committee, Secretary Stimson .said that observance of treaties would have avoided the present situation, and no evidence had come to the United Government that compliance with them would have interfered with the protection of all legitimate foreign rights in China. The Nine-Power Treaty (Mr Stimson- wrote) had been entered into at a time when China was engaged in an attempt to develop free institutions. The Powers realised that China Avould require many years to attain that end. The Treaty thus was a covenant of self- denial among the signatory Powers in deliberate renunciation of any policy of aggression which might tend to interfere with that development.
