U.S. DENIES SEEKING NEW CHINA LINE-UP Policy Always Has Been to Co-Operate With Central Recegnized Government. P the Assoclated Press Any anxiety in Tokio that the Washington Government is feeling i's way toward some new agreement among the powers interested in China for the protection of their nationals in that country during the new civil war disturbances apparently is whol- 1y_without foundation. The Washington Government not only has made no move to canvass opinion in foreign capitals in relation to the present situation in China, but it has not been advised by any Amer- jran diplomatic representatives in Yurope that there have been any con- versations of such a character with any of the various foreign offices So far as the Washington Govern- ment knows, therefore, there is no project in contemplation among the powers for changing the existing =ituation in China with regard to the protection of foreign lives and prop- erty in that country. Diplomatic Corps Function. The Peking diplomatic corps has for years functioned in an informal conser ‘tion agreement dating hack practically to the davs of the Boxer uprising in China. The neces- sity for this pooling of opinion and for similar if not joint action by the foreign diplomats accredited to the central Chinese government arose from the difficulty of communication between Peking and the other capi- tals of the world and the necessity for prompt representations in order that foreign lives might be jeopard- ized as little as possible in the nu- merous outbreaks of violence that have occurred in many parts of China, both before and since the establish- ment of the Chinese republic. There is no prospect apparent that the Washington Government sees any new avenue of approach to the prob- lem that has always confronted it in China of dealing with a central gov- ernment that has at best only owy suggestion of power in China than in the immediate re- gion of the Chinese capital The effort of western diploma China since the Chinese revol and the overthrow of the ) dynasty has always been directes ward promoting tral government in China. which not only the security of foreign interes d lives in that country, but which would have and exercise actual power of protection throughout the republic. that end American diplomacy has continuously sought to strengthen the prestige of the central Chinese government by giving diplomatic cor- respondence with that government the same weight and dignity as would be the where a government tually had full sovereign powers to enforce its will within its own ber- ders.

A report from Nanking vesterday said that Wu Pei-fu forc had been dispatched from that point under the leadership of Gen. Feng Yu-hsiang to aid the Kiangsu invading forces.

The baron declined to comment further, asserting that his reply cov- ered all the questions asked, including Ji n's position in Manchuria respect- ing Gen. Chang Tso-lin and the South Manchurian Railwa Although Japane: dispatches from Mukden state that Chang Tso-lin is marching four brigades in the direc- tion of Jehol, in northern Chihli, the best-informed Tokio official opinion is that the major hostilities on the Chihli-Manchurian front, amounting to a final showdown betwaen Chang and Gen. Wu-Pei-fu, are not likely at pres- ent The lateness of the season, the re- cent floods and financil difficulties on both sid. are cited to substantiate this view. Anxious Over Palicy.

Japanese newspaper dispatches from China hint that Gen. Wu Pel-fu is receiving American sympathy, if ot support, but officials say this is not believable. At the same time they deny that any ald has been or will be given Chang 'Tso-lin. Oppose Intervention. The Japanese newspapers discuss- ing the reported Anglo-American In- terchange insist that Japan avold in- tervention or participation. The Ko- kumin Shimbun, an independent paper, says the powers are confronted with ‘the momentous deoision as o whether they shall intervenc. What- ever the decision, Japan must not join in_intervention, which the Kokumin says is inspired by American desire to protect the federal wireless con- tract for stations in the province of Kiangsu and Btitish railway building schemes in the lower Yangtze. “Japan's choice Is easy,” says the Kokumin. “She must not overstep the limit of mere protection of her nationals; she must not join in any armed movement or threat of inter- vention.” The Tokio Asahi says intervention would be a blunder, and any country attempting It is doomed to failure and loss.
