S. Imperialism Insists (Special to The Daily Worker) H\APASHINGTON, July 8.—Under instructions | from Secretary of State Kellogg, John V. A. MacMurray, new American minister to China, | | ers at Peking on the advisability of holding a conference for the revision of China's treaty | relations with foreign nations. | It was stated here today in diplomatic quar- ters that upon MacMurray’s report to Kellogg will depend the next step of this government in getting the conference organized. Despite the opposition of Great Britain and Japan to the American proposal, the state department has indicated no change in its original plan, but ex- pects to make no further step until MacMurray has surveyed the situation in China and cabled his impressions to Washington. Ratification of the treaties of the Washington conference relating to China by the French chamber of deputies was looked upon here as an endorsement of the suggestion of the United States that the powers should not delay in going into the Chinese problem, regardless of the jalleged impotence of the Peking government. | Officials say they feel that Great Britain and Japan “will eventually approve” the conference suggestion and accept the China is said to be ready to tender at a propiti- ous moment.

This is a direct opposition to the conference as proposed by the United States. The British excuse, communicated by unofficial routes td\, the American state department and published as propaganda all over the world, is that the Peking government is “powerless to enforce” any international committments and that the weakness of the central government prevents foreign powers from granting the Chinese gov- ernment the right to sovereignity over Chinese soil. The fly in the ointment is that this pose is purely hypocrisy, as the foreign nations, by force of arms have taken over the administra- tion of customs and other revenue of the Chin- ese government and have effectively stopped the central government from getting any funds wherewith it might enforce its rule. ** * WHY U. S. GOES TO CHINA. It is, of course, fully recognized that the proposal for a_conference to revise being enforced on China, is far. altruistic act of the big-hearted . .
