t 4 Statement of |the Committee . On Pacific and the Far East i The official statement issued yester- day after the mecting of the commit- tee on Pacific and far eastern affairs Lollow: The committee on Pacific and far /eastern questions met at 11 o'clock this morning, December 7, in the Pan- American building. All of the dele- Zates were present, except Ambas- sador Shidehara and Senator Under- wood. The following, report of the subcommittee on draft in regard to radio stations in China was sub- mitted: The subcommittee on draft begs to report the following resolution re- garding radio stations in China: The representatives of the powers hereinafter named participating in the discussion of Pacific and far east- ern questions in the conference on the limitation of armament—to Wwit: The United States of America, Bel- ®ium, the British empire, China, ¥rance, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands and Portugal, haye resolved: Limits Use of Radlo. 1. That all radio stations in China, whether maintained uader the pro- ons of the international protocol of September 7, 1901, or in fact main- tained in the grounds of any of the foreign legations in China, shall be limited in their use to sending and receiving government messages and shall not receive or send commercial or personal or unotficial messages, in- cluding press.matter: Provided, how- ever, that in case all other telegraphic communication is interrupted, thenm, upon official notification, accompanied by proof of such interruption.,to the Chinese ministry of communications, such stations may afford temporary facilities for commercial, personal or unofficial messages, including press anatter, until the Chinese govcrnnent has given notice of the termination of the interruption. 2. All radio stations operated with- in the territory of China by a for- cign government or the citizens or subjects thereof under treaties or con- Ccessions of the government of China shall limit the message$ sent and re- ceived by the terms of the treaties or | concessions under which the respec- 1 tive stations are maintained. 3 May Be Taken Over. §,,3 In case there be any radio sta; tion maintained in the territory of China by a foreign government or citizens or subjects thereof without the authority of the Chinese govern- nent, such station and all the plant. apparatus and material theroof shall De transferred to and taken over by the government of China, operated under the direction of the Chinese ministry of communications upon fair and full compensation to the owners for the value of the in- stallation, as soon as the Chinese ministry of communications pared to operate the same effectively for the general public benefit. s. 1f any questions shall arise as to the radio stations in leased terri- SPECIAL NOTICES. to be | is pre-: tories, in the South Manchuria rail- way gone or in the French concession at Shanghai, they shall be regardéd as matters for discdssion between the Chinese_government and the govern- ment concerned. 5. The owners or managers of all radio stations maintained in the ter- ritory of China by foreign powers ‘or citisens or subjects thereof shail confer with the Chinese ministry of communications for the purpose of seeking a common arrangement to avoid interference in the use of wave lengths by wireless stations in China, subject to such general arrangements as may be made by an international conference convened for the revision of the fules established by the inter- national radio telegraph convention signed at London July 5, 1912. Viviani Urges Co-Operation. Mr. Viviani gave his unreserved support to the resolution proposed by the committee on draft, which, he said, indicated real progress toward a solution of the matter before the committee. Without suggesting that any resolution be taken by the com- to express again an idea which had previously been formulated. The con- ference had made a first step, but 1t was most desirable that further prog- ress should be made. To this end a general agreement should be reached which would result in the regulation, for the greatest moral and material "benefit of all concerned, of the com- petition now prevailing with regard to wireless telegraphy in.China—a competition . which if prolonged might easily result in a hopeless tangle. Competition must be replaced by co- operation. Mr. Viviani added that views similar to this had already been developed by the United States government. The chairman then stated that the American delegation was in full sym- pathy with Mr. Viviani's idea and wished once more to suggest tnat Mr. | Viviani might care-to bring in a reso- llution giving effect to it. | The abo¥e report of the subcommit- tee on draft was then unanimously ‘adopted. The committee further discussed the question of leased territories in China. Dr. Koo made the following state- ment: At the meeting of the committee on Pacific and_far eastern questions on December 3 Mr. Hanihara read a statement outlining the position of Japan with reference to the leased territories of Kiaochow and Kwang- | tung peninsula, namely Port Arthur and Dalny. The Chinese delegation desire to offer a few observations on | the statement in the hope that the position of China on this question may be equally well understood. The declaration that Japan succeeded Ger- many in the leasehold of Kiaochow | under the treaty of Versailles is ob- | viously one unilateral in character to which China, not being a party to that treaty, cannot be expected to subscribe. It is, however, gratifying to note the reference to the fact referred in SPECIAL NOTICES. “Better Equipped Than Ever —to satisfy your optical needs now that we're 4n our NI STORE. Come in and see us.

By the Associated Press. AMOY, China, December 7.—Friction arising between the local British and Chinese authorities in regard to the British eoncessions here has resulted in the declaration of a boycott by the Chinese aggjnst Butterfield & Swire, an English’ firm with wide connec- tions. The movement is said to have been effective thus far and the Chi- nese are now endeavoring to expand it into a general boycott against the British. . There is much anti-British feeling and local business is thereby seri- ausly handicapped. the statement that Japan obtained her leased territories in China not di- rectly from her, but from other pow- ers at considerable sacrifice in men and treasure, because this assurance appears to confirm the views of the Chinese delegation that the mainte- nance of foreign leased territories in China jeopardizes the peace in_the far east. It will be recalled that Rus- sia’'s possession of Port Arthur and Dalny and Germany's possession of Kiaochow _eventually brought two wars on Chinese ferritory and result- ed in the installation of Japan her- self in these leased areas. As to the leased territory of Kwan- tung province, namely. Port Arthur and Dalny, its originai term will expire in 1925, and whiie an extension to ninety- nine’ years was obtained by Japan in 1915 it was obtained in such circum- stances that the dispute about its validity remains one of the most grave outstanding questions between China and Japan. Both Port Arthur and Dalny are sit- uated Manchuria, which is an im-. portant part of Chinese territory. Not only does the national safety of China rely upon tne safeguarding of Man- churia as an integral portion of the Chinese republic, because these three eastern provinces, as the Chinese call Manchuria, have been the historic road of invasion into China throughout the past centuries, but also the security of the economic life of the Chinese peopie depends in a very vital measure upon the conservation and development with the surpius capital of the world of the natural and agricultural resources in Manchuria, a region waere today an abundance of raw material and food suppiies is already accessible to all nations, on fair terms and through the normal operation of the economic law of supply and demangd. Moreover, Man- chiria is an important outiet for the surplus population from the congested provinces in other parts-of China. Chinese Interests Vital. X In view of the foregoing facts, it is clear that China has such truly vital interests in ManWhuria that the interests of any foreign power therein, however important they may be-in themselves, cannot compare with them.
