"The preservation of 'the territorial

Tills note was transmitted on March
1, to the representatives of Che United
o States in Ileriln, Vienna. Parte, Lon
don,'Rome, Tokio anil St. Petersburg,
for Information, ?.nd communication
to the government to which they arc
- Aocrodltied. Ajpsinwing that the arrange
ment is to be carried out, it is the eon
ten'tlc-n of the State Department that
nothing has occurred to change the
?tatus of the li-n.ited States toward the
"optn door" as a.;ip!i: i to any part, of
China, including Manchuria, As far as
?written*pledges can coinir.K a power.
Russia stands pledged to accord to the
Un.'ted Slates the "open dcor," if siie
takes conU'?! W Manchuria, either di
rectly by annexation or indirectly, but
quite as effectual by the means pro
posed in this Kmro-Chinese ?$a?rce
meiiii. Thiis Is the view of the Staitc De
partment and that view is endorsed by
the erttire cabinc*. The administration
believes thaiL tiie Kccrct ngreenvent be
tween Russia and China is in viola
tion of the spirit ir not the letter of
the gener.ii widem andir.g to which
all the .powers subscribed last sum
mer, and the Uc-lted Sta>tes govern
ment -is prepared to use all its moral
'suasion and influence t'.o prevent its
consummation. Further than that,
however, the government is not pro
paired to go. %
