U. S. SIGNS A NEW
TREATY WITH CHINA
W ashington, D. C. — S ignature by
the United S tates of a new treaty with
th e Chinese natio n alist governm ent,
restoring full autonom y in tariff m at­
ters to China, wa3 announced sim ul­
taneously in W ashington and Pekin.
By th e term s of the pact, it will
become effective Jan u ary 1, 1929, pro­
viding it h as been ratified by th at
date, and will supplant all existing
tariff com m itm ents of China to the
United S tates. The restoration of
tariff autonom y by the United States,
however, is based on a treaty stipula­
tion of non-discrim ination by China
against A m ericans as com pared to the
nationals of any o th er country. For
treaty purposes, the stipulation is mu­
tually binding on both countries.
No com m ent was available a t the
state d epartm ent on P ekin dispatches
indicating a feeling in Jap an ese and
other in terested circles th a t the Unit­
ed States, in signing the tariff treaty,
was strik in g out on a Chinese policy
independent of the long standing con­
cert of action m aintained through con­
ference of the Pekin diplomatic
corps.
Inasm uch as the abortive
Pekin jo in t tariff conference adopted
a resolution pledging all pow ers hav­
ing conventional tariff relations with
China to resto re tariff autonom y on
the date now specifically fixed in the
new Sino-American treaty, Jan u ary 1,
1929, however, th ere appears to be
little point to this contention. It is
the first treaty g ranting China tariff
autonom y to be signed.

PANAMA WARNED BY
SECRETARY KELLOGG
W ashington, D. C. — The United
S tates governm ent served a sharp ulti­
m atum on P anam a th a t if revolution
follows the national elections of Aug­
ust 6, intervention will follow.
The note was w ritten by Secretary
of S tate Kellogg in response to a re­
quest from the "opposition" party in
Panam a. This appeal charged fraud
and corruption on the p art of the
P anam an adm inistration and urged
the United S tates to supervise the bal­
loting.
S ecretary Kellogg made the blunt
reply th a t the governm ent of Panam a
m ust be relied upon to hold fair elec­
tions and th a t this governm ent would
take the existing tre a tie s in good
faith. B ut he added th a t on account
of th e vast A m erican in terests in the
Canal Zone th a t no chances would be
taken and th a t If a revolution should
ensue, A m erican troops would be
used.
