avoid being drawn by unwarrant

of another foreign war.
Speaking by radio from his

Japan Told Stop
"Unwarranted
Interference
WASHINGTON. Oct. 27 f/P)—
The U S Government told Japan
in a strongly worded note to stop
“unwarranted interference with
American rights in China." A
three thousand word statement,
presented by Ambassador Joseph
C. Grew in Tokyo, October sixth,
but made public only today, de
manded continuance of the Open
Door Policy in the Orient. An
early reply is expected.
The unofficial interpretation
here is that if a favorable answer
did not arrive, soon relations be
tween the two countries might
| become strained.
The United States accused Jap
an of seeking another Manchou
i kou out of the portions of China
she has occupied and listed a
long series of violations of Ami
; erican business and property
| rights. It said, “Your excellency
'can not fail to recognize the ex
i istance of a growing disparity be
' tween the treatment accorded
American nationals and their
trade enterprises by Japanese
authorities in China and Japan,
and the treatment accorded Jap
anese nationals and their trade
enterprises by the government of
the United States in areas within
; its jurisdiction.”
i Some students in far-eastern
affairs professed to see in this
! statement a veiled threat that if
Japau did not accord Americans
better treatment, Japanese mer
I ahants dealing in or with the
U. S. soon might encounter re
j strietions.

France W arned
Stop Supplying
Arms to China
TOKYO, Oct. 28 (/Pi— A foreign1
office statement said Premier]
Prince Konoye warned France
that Japan “might be compelled*
to take measures” if the French;
continue to supply China with
arms. It is believed that this1
possibly meant that the Japanese
occupation of Hainan Island just
off the south China coast, one of j
the points of the French sphere]
of influence, was a dagger aimed 1
at the heart of the vast French '
oriental possessions.
Prince Konoye told the French
ambassador, Charles Arsene Hen
ry that Japan was “gravely con-,
cerned with the possible devel
opment in the situation.”
The Newspaper Asahi declar-j
ed that the Japanese government
considered unsuitable American i
insistence on the continued open
door trade to China. A new sit
uation existed in the far east, be
cause of Japanese advances in
China, said the newspaper. It
also predicted that Japan would
seek to induce the U. S. govern
ment to accept this thesis.
