BY ROBERT J. BENDER United Press Staft Correapo: WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—America " and Japan have med a formal agreement reaffirming the open door | deac¥ in China and recognizing Japan's special interests in ' that country. The momentous pact, confirmed by an ex- thange of notes between Secretary Lansing and Viscount {shii, one of the Japanese mission, November 2, will go down in history as one of the great developments of the orld war. In announcing the agreement, Secretary Lansing plainly indicated it would entirely remove an Mi ci fitical situation developing between the two countries. The pact recognizes Japan's special interests in China, avows that China’s sovereignty shall not be impaired; provides that there shall be no discriminattion against the trade of other nations, denies any intention to infringe on China’s territorial integrity, reaffirms the “open door” policy and avows opposition to acquisition by any govern- Ment of special privileges which would affect China's dependence. The United Press can state that the administration re- fa the new agreement as a great and important step in ing Japan and America with a bond of friendship and ' 30-operation. It may be stated semi-officially that the pact is de-| ned as a blow to Germany's efforts to alienate Japan and United States. m to the agreement on/ ‘The Agreement tary Lansing announc ‘The text of Lanaing’s communica- that a complete understanding | yon follows of joint naval operations in the communicate herein my understand Pacific has been satisfactorily set.
