OPEN DOOR IN CHINA
Object of American Protest (Eeeeived 16, 8.45 a.m.) NEW YOEK, Dec. 15. "The best informed circles," says the United Press Washington correspon3ent, "assert that the proteste entered by President Eoosevelf and Mr Cordell Hull, Secretary of State, are based not only on the incident of the sinking of the gunboat Panay but on the principle of the open-door policy in China and the illegality of Japanese interference in American life and property rights there. "In support of this attitude, officials pointed oiit the final clause in Mr Hull's protest, deraanding for American nationals, interests and property in China immunity from Japanese attacks and Japanese interference. Only on this basis would the UnffTd States Government consider the incident closed."
