TREATY REVISION
AMERICA’S POLICY READY TO NEGOTIATE By Cable.—Press Association. —Copyright NEW YORK, Wednesday. The Washington correspondent of the “New York Times” says Britain has not yet approached the United States Government about the negotiation of a new treaty with China or the abrogation of extraterritorial rights, rights.
An official of the State Department to-day quoted the statement made in the House of Commons by the British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Sir Austen Chamberlain, to the effect that the British Government will gladly co-operate with the United States to that end.
It is explained that America’s position is one of willingness to negotiate with any group fairly representative of all China, but extraterritoriality cannot be abandoned until the protection of American nations can be guaranteed by China. It is not expected, in view of the chaotic conditions in China, that any immediate negotiations for a treaty will be begun, but it is realised that as issue is being joined by the rival armies and the several Governmental groups conditions may be evolved which will allow of a treaty discussion.—A. and N.Z, . —__ _
