CONCESSION B JAPAN VICTOR FOR AMERICA Open Door for China Has Long Been Stumbling Block in Relations Be tween Japan and U. S. Visit of Commissioner tci America in Time of Wat Believed to Be Respont sible for the Altered View of Japanese Government! By J. W. T. MASON. Written for the United Press. New York, Oct. 1.—The United States has won its first Important vlc-l tory of the war, through the acknowln «dgement of Viscount Jshil that Amer ica's trade rights to China will not ba Interfered with by Japan, and that! Jnpnn pledges hersetf to préserva China's independence. This American success will rank| Beeond only to the overthrow of kalser lsm and the establishment of democ-| racy In Oermany. It is the direct re sult. of America's participation in tha war and by itself alone Is more than sufficient return for America's bellig erency. Had the United States re mained neutral, there would have been no Japanese mission to the United States; there would have been no such gigantic war preparations as America Is now putting forth: Japan would not have been impressed by the immense power behind America's benevolent at titude toward China, and the old mis understandings probably would have continued to the end of a trans-Pacific conflict. WHOLE BASIS CHANGED. Viscount Ishli, one of Japan's shrewdest statesmen, however, has had the opportunity of looking America over In war time, and the result has been to change practically over ntght the fundamental basis of Japanese American relations. By no possibility could the head of the Japanese mission 'cave pledged his country to the open door in China, as far as the United States is concerned, without previous instructions from his government. It is apparent Viscount Ishii has been in intimate communication with Tokio since his arrival in the United States, and ills present pledge has all the au thority of an official communication. The American government has beei j vainly trying for years lo secure from j Japan Just such a public assurance as Viscount ishii has now given. Gov ernments operate their diplomacy by: means of precedents, and Viscount ishii has established for Japan the most far-reaching precedent. In ori ental affairs since America opened the question of the open door. Thus, by entering the war across the Atlantic, the United States has drawn assur ances from Japan that carry a blow to jingoistic agitation for a Japanese American clash.
