Policy Proclaimed by New Minister Described as One of fAgcresslve Friendliness." & PEKIN, Sept. 10. Correspondence of the Associated Press.) America's 'policy toward China as expounded by rl)r. Jacob Could Schurman. the new American minister to Pekln, may be described as "aggressive friendliness. ;ln the opinion of the Pekln Leader. . Dr. Schurman. in two addresses, one 1 in Shanghai upon arrival there, an . the other before a large gathering of -Americans in I'ckin at a dinner in his , honor, outlined the policy of the Lnit d States, in part, as follows: 1 "As regards American rights In China, we ask for nothing besides justice, equal treatment and the other rights guaranteed by treaty. We have never solicited, and we shall rot solicit, any special favors or priv ileges. Where rights are definitely determined in advance, where those who have to apply them In particular instances arc Inspired by equity and good will, the path to be trodden should be a smooth and easy one. "The Just and considerate policy of America toward China must not, however, he construed as indicative of any indifference to our rights, What is our due. whether small or great, that we must have. It would be intolerable if others were favored at the expense of the American gov ernment or American citizens. That would he a violation of the 'open door' and our well established treaty rights. Square Deal Demanded. Tn matters of trade, commerce and finance, while we welcome friendly competition, we Insist that no special advantage be granted to our detri ment. American business in China is entitled to the same treatment as the business of any other power. We de mand common and equal trade condi tions and common and equal accessi bility to markets. "I confess that there Is great dlffl cultlng in dealing with some kinds of discrimination. When It is open it Is easy to apply the remedy; but it has been practiced In subtle and un derhanded ways which it is difficult to bring to light and still more diffi cult to prevent. That is the form of discrimination against American busi ness which has been much resented and has given rise to much ill feeling, not only among American business men In China, but also in wider com mercial circles in the United States All I can say at present is that in this, as In many other matters, eternal vig ilance is the price of safety, and I can assure business men that they may count upon the constant and vigorous support and co-operation of the lega tion In dealing with this evil.' China lias Opportunity. On the subject of the Washington conrerence, jr. Schurman said: "I believe the Washington confer ence, by grappling with the Pacific and far eastern questions before they become dangerous, will give the republic of China an opportunity of saving herself from the grave diffi culties to which the Chinese empire . was exposed in 1899. I do not hide from myself the conditions of suc cess for that conference. There must be friendly regard for all nations, a willingness to look at facts from the J? point of view of every nation, a per vasive spirit of fair play, an abun dance of good will, a vivid reallza- 1. tlon of the destructivenesa of modern warfare and an invincible faith In Justice, reason, common sense and mutual conciliation as better Instru ments than force. y "The reason for the call of the conference may be read in the policy ?! proclaimed by the United States in ' ? 1899 and pursued consistently from that time to this. China is the con cern of all powers. . . Their first duty Is to maintain the Independence Vv and territorial Integrity of China . . - . and if China needs help to pull through the present difficulties the powers In common must come to ' her assistance. Concession Rash Checked. The Leader, commenting, says: ..I" "Dr. Schurman has made it plain that the Interest which the American government is taking in foreign af j i fairs Is to be shown in matters which concern China In the form of a policy j,, of friendliness expressing itself ag , ... gressively for her benefit. America's announcement that she would insist ' upon the 'open door" checked, if it - 'did not entirely stop, the rush for concessions and spheres of interest i -:. In China at that time (1899). Of late 10 there has been renewed penetration, although of a different kind. Amer , ica's announcement now that she will take a firm stand against such ac tivities should be of like value to China by putting a check on efforts which are being made to get China's economic resources under foreign a desire to take care of your live stock that Influences your attitude towards Jury service?" asked Mr. Rice. "Well, I'll admit that if I lost my livestock or anything happened to them while I was away, I'd be ready to hang almost anybody." answered the rancher with a smile. Dr. Brumfield gave evidence that he enjoyed this frank sally as much as anyone else in the court and beamed on his wife and attorneys quite openly. Acceptance of J. O. Metz and Dick Hanan came as a surprise In light of some of their answers to the ques tioning of the attorneys. DlneuaalnaT Case Admitted. Mr. Metz declared that he had known Dr. Brumfield ever since the latter came to Roseburg, and that the defendant had performed all the dental work for the Metz family. He also said that be had known Dennis Russell many years ago, and knew Ed and Tom Russell, brothers of the dead man. He said that District At torney Neuner had acted as his legal adviser on a few occasions. Asked If he had discussed the Brum field case, he replied. "Yes, I have. Just as 9J out of every 10 people have discussed It." Scruples against capital punishment were admitted by Mr. Hanan, who added, however, that he believed he could overcome them in a trial. He re plied in the affirmative when asked whether or not sympathy or senti ment for the family of the defendant would Influence him. Attendance of spectators at the trial wan increased a-reatlv today, and In terest in the proceedings is growing raDidly as the case makes progress. Judge Bingham announced that the trial would be resumed at s A. M io morrow.- It is predicted generally that the permanent Jury will be com pleted by Monday noon at the latest, If the present rate of speed Is main tained and both morning ana arier noon sessions are held tomorrow.
