P aris, Ja n . 11.— A lthough F rance
fav o rs the p reserv atio n of the open-
door policy and C hinese sovereignty in
M anchuria, it considers th a t th e issues
raised by th e A m erican proposition to
neu tralize th e M anchurian railw ays
p rim a rily couceru Russia and Ja p a n .
The F rench reply to the A m erican
m em orandum , therefo re, is likely to be
determ ined by the a ttitu d e of Russia,
F ra n c e ’s ally. T he F re n ch press re ­
gards the question as com plicated. The
F igaro th in k s tho U nited S ta te s is tr y ­
ing to re trie v e th e m istak e of 1904 05,
when it backed Ja p a n to g et Russia
out of M auchuria, only to find th a t
Ja p a n had supplem ented her there w ith ­
out benefit to the open door.
“ E ven if Russia a c c e p ts ,’ ’ says one
paper, “ Ja p a n is n ot lik ely to agree.
E ngland is bound by a Ja p an ese a l­
liance, and a sim ilar reserve is im ­
posed upon us fo r lik e a n d other re a ­
sons. ’ ’
T he M atin believes th a t F ran ce will
follow R u s sia ’s lead.
Oil B ias expresses the opinion th a t
th e situ a tio n is filled w ith gunpow der,
and declares th a t the
real issue is

which the U nited S ta te s an d J a p a n
are stru g g lin g . I t charges th a t the e n ­
tire aim of A m erican diplom acy is d i­
rected to th a t end, and in sists th a t the
U nited S ta te s has pushed C hina to re ­
sistance in every stru g g le w ith Ja p a n .
“ E ven a f t e r th e arra n g em en ts of Oc­
tober 4, last y e a r ,” continues th e p a ­
per, “ in which C hina agreed not to
construct u railro ad in com petition
w ith the South M anchurian, A m erican
support com es fo rw ard fo r the con­
stru ctio n of the Chin Chow E u-T sitsi

“ Now A m erica proposes to go fu r
th e r and force J a p a n back in to Corea,
and th u s ren d er effective Chinese dom
in atio n of M anchuria, w hich today is
purely nom inal.
“ S ecretary K n o x ’s argum ents dwell
