KNOX PLAN TO
MEET WITH A
POLITE REFUSAL
Courteous, Well Guarded Note,
to Be Sent to United States
by Japan Russia, China
and Japan Stand Together.
Toklo, Jan. 18. It is reported here
today on the very best authority that
Japan, joining; with China, Is arranging
to send a courteous, well guarded but
positive refusal to accept the Knox plan
of neutralization of the Manchunian rail
way to the- United States.
Ths nots will be couched In such ,
terms as to leave no room whatever for
future proposals from America in re
gard to similar questions, '
It is believed In official circles here
that Russia, Jspan and China will stand
together, and that their refusals will
bs very much the same. This action Is
expected to be taken within a few days.
Ths government is in receipt of mes
sages from Peking saying ths Chinese
publlo and government officials have
doubted the motives of ths Knox pro
posal and fear It might place China In a
position of greater danger than ever
before.
There is no .question of ths unanimity .
of public sentiment here against the
suggestions of Secretary Knox. ; The
elder statesmen are open In their de
nunciation of the suggestion. . ,
The belief is now general among ths
majority of statesmen that ths time is at
hand for Japan to take- a firm stand and,
for Japan to take a. firm stand, and,
while conducting herself In ths most.
civil and courteous manner, make her
meaning and position so clear that there -can
bs no possible room for doubt
