U.S. Flatly Rejects “New Order” In China
(Received 10 a.m.7 \ WASHINGTON, January 1. The United States has flatly rejected Japan’s proposed “New Order” in China, and has tacitly invited Japan and other Powers concerned to negotiate regarding possible revision of foreign rights and interests. The latest Note published here charges Japan with unfair discriminations against American trade and commerce with China, and also with assuming the power of the sovereignty in China by armed force, in violation of existing treaties, which, the United States contended, were not subject to unilateral nullification. The Note admits, however, the possible desirability of changing the treaties and leaves the door open for international conversations on the subject. “Meanwhile, this Government reserves all rights of the United States as they exist, and* does not give assent to the impairment of any of them,” says the Note.
