THE FEVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, D. C, SATURDAY, JANUARY 29, 1927. PORTER JOINS SZE INTREATY APPEAL House Leader and Chinese Envoy Want U. S. to Start Negotiations. By the Associated Press, Chairman Stephen G. Porter of the 1 ‘House foreign Tairs committee made public a committee report proving his resolution requestin President to negotiate new with duly accredited agents of Chin and suggesting that a formal invit tion to a treaty conference be ex tended through Alfred Chinese Minister here, thereby givir China the option of “‘negotiating with the United States in conjunction with other powers or separs Dr. Sze adds his < that the treaty powers frrevocable terms and u the termination all 1 treaties, and negotiate forthwith new treaties on dn equal and reciprocal basis.” Would Know Delegates. Declaring China is as know the composition treaty negotiating interested powers Chinese negotiator Sze called for immediate appointment of the fo delegates “to evidence their des negotiating. The Minister include in h ment a. wish to assur China was not anti-for th free from interference.” spoke for the Can- anxious govern intimidation Asked foreign or if he tonese as well as the Peking faction | in saying it would be eas; in China to act as neg would have the confidence of Chinese factions, Dr. said he was not authorized to repr lonese government, been in communication with it. “They look on me as a patriotic Chinese who is anxious to do the best he can for his count: he said. Minister Sze's statement, given to the press late yesterday, was as follows: “rirst of all I wish to assure the public positively and without quali- fication that China is not anti-for- eign. govern herself free from foreign intimidation or interference. She does not ask for ahything that does not rightfully belong to her. She will give every protection in her power to foreign residents who choose to come to China, provided that they come in the same way as they go to other countries in Eu- rope and America—that is, they will treat and respect us as equals and that they will conduct themselves in accordance with the recognized principles and usages -of interna- tional law “With reference to the mission arles, I have stated clearly in my 8t. Louis speech of January 15 that the Chinese people have no fault to find with them as a class. We like them and think t.ey have done a good deal of good Grateful to Americans. “My people are grateful to the American people for their expressions of sympathy and desire ‘to help us in this hour of trial. Such evidences of friendship and mpathy are greatly appreciated and will be for- ever remembered. “With reference to the unequal treaties, the Chinese nation does not feel that it can tolerate their existence any longer. We do not wish, how- ever, to abrogate them by violent means. In fact, we wish to avoid violence. But there are ways of ter- minating antiquated treaties recog nized by international law. “With reference to unusual treaties and the basis of negotiating future treaties of an equal and reciprocal na ture, Mr. Eugene Chen issued a pu lic statement on the 24th of this month. Mr. V. K. Wellington Koo, on behalf of the Peking government, appealed to the United States last Monday to commence negotiations for new treaties. So the Chinese have stated their position. .Urges Wiping Slate Clean. ““1, personally, urge that the powers themselves should declare in irrevo- cable terms and unconditionally the termination of all unequal treaties and negotiate forthwith new treaties in an equal and reciprocal basis.

A policeman on his way to work in Village found the body. There bullet wound in the girl's tem- ple, and nearby was a small pistol. On the steps were scattered the frag- ments of a man’s photograph. | The house was that of Mrs. | Pettinger, the girl's sister. They m | their home together. Mrs. Pettinger |said Marion had pot been Home for veral days. The torn photograph was pieced to- igether and recognized by detectives |4 of & man they said was widely known in Broadway night life. They concealed his identity, saying they would question him and if he were shown to have had any connection with the affair his name would be made known. Although 25 detectives worked on .the case all day it had not been deter- ‘mined last night whether the shooting {was accidental, a suicide or a murder. No one could be found who heard the shot. Mrs. Pettinger could assign no mo- tive for suicide. She said that the girl had taken poison several months ago, but believed it to have been an acci- dent and not an attempt at suicide. — e U. S. MOVES SHIPS NEARER CHINA FOR ANY EVENTUALITIES Continued from First Page) guarantees for personal and property rights of foreign residents involved. | The proposal is believed to apply to | the British concession at Hankow, which now is under Cantonese juris- | diction, and at Tientsin, in the area of the northern faction. Bcth are popu- lous and wealthy cities, Tientsin is the commercial capital of North China | and its only sea outlet, while Hankow is the most important Yangtze River point in the interior. It is expected the offer also will ap- ply to the minor concessions such as those at Kiukiang, Chinkiang and Canton. The proposals do not, how- ever, apply to the international con- cession here, which is the richest in the republic, because altaough British influence predominates in Shanghal, the settlement is technically under in- ternational control. Move With Other Powers. i It is noteworthy that the British proposals do not includ: the general question that extraterritorial rights of British subjects be dete'mined in the British courts of China. It was point- ed out that as regards extraterritor- iality, aside from the matter of con- cessions, the British position is the same as that of the other powers, in- cluding the United States. It was re- garded as unlikely tha: Britain will malte a move in this connection until the other powers do so The reaction among the foreign resi- dents here to the new development is one of resignation, since it was felt weeks ago that the day of the foreign concession is done, but what reception the offer will get in Chinese circles is uncertain, In the meantime, plans for a pa- rade of the volunteer corps through the main streets of the international settlement were altered at the eleventh hour, and only a simple review was neld at the.Shanghai Race Club, to which the Chinese public was not ad- mitted. The cnange is understood tc have been maae chiefly because of ob- jections by Americans that the orig- inal plans, would have caused an un- necessary show of strength provoca- tive to the Chinese.
