CHINESE AFFAIRS.
JAPAN AND AMERICA AT VARIANCE
(Australian and N.Z. Cable Aasn.) WASHINGTON, June 17.
Much interest is being taken in the Japanese Note to America, stating that she did not endorse America's Note to China wherein America appealed for the adjustment of internal differences. Japan declines to take similar action.
The officials believe that Japan's attitude is based on her claim to a paramount interest in China—but the Note does not mention this.
Britain's reply is similar to the Japanese.
