Japanese Influence In North China Auton- omy M o v e m e n t Draws Protest.

By Stanley P. Richardson, Associated Pleas Staff Writer (By Guardian's Special Wire)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5- - Japan was warned. tonight by Secretory of State lluil thatthe United Statu Government doea not look with oqaailimity upon the autonomy movement in North China. .

In a formal staiemmlt, which fol- lowed close upon a rirarper and even more pointed warning to Japan in the British Bouae oi Commons, the Secretary of State called upon “all cations" to existing treaties. iiull did not mention the name of Japan. which generally has been rredited with encouraging the move to separate the North China provin- cea from the Nunklng Government, but his meaning waa clear.

ills equally obvious reference also was to the nine-power treaty. With Japan, Great Britain and the United States among itl lllnatorieva, this pot g rnntoce both China's terri- torlal and administrative integrity and the maintenance of tbeﬂopen door" to foreign trade.

Wide , lfulls statement. rt coma (almost cn lop oi the assertion by Sir Som- ucl iioore, British Foreign Secre- tary, that anything lending color_ to the belief that Japanese inﬂuence was behind the autondmy move, ‘can only do harm to the prestige oi Japan."

‘Ihis perhaps coincidental concert oi statements immediately recalled that sir Ronald Lindsay. the Bri- tish Ambassador, has discussed the sine-Japanese crisis with l-lull re- cently. Rumors that there might be some Joint action in the Far Bast, however, have gone uconilrm- ed

Hull's statement, labelled as in response to inquiries by newspaper- lllen. cited the extensive United States interests in North China, as well as this government's treaty ob- llgatlcns.

"Th.- American Government," he said. "is therefore closey observing rhst is happening there."

l-‘ear Fur-reaching Effects .

He described this as a "political struggle which is unusual in char- acter and which may have far- rearhlng effects,“ and added:

"Unusual developments in any part of china are rightly and ne- cessarily oi concern not alone to the government and people oi China bu: to oll of the many people and powers who have interests in Chino.

"For, in relations with China and in china, the treaty rights and the treaty obligations of the ‘ﬁrmly Efllb/ are in genera! identlcsrl.'_'__

No Negotiations

"Reasonable terms" were said by one thoroughly informed person to be Italian possession of a little more than she conquered, leaving Haile S ‘ ' o. homogeneous nat- ion.

Outstanding Points

‘Ihese were the outstanding points 0f Sir Samuel's speech:

1. Declaring both Britain and the League were pledged in principle to the oil embargo, he said. the United Kingdom was "prepared to take our share in whatever collec- tiveectlun is determined" at the League sanctions committee meet- ing Dec. 12.

2.8a told the House of‘ Com- mons Britain and lib-once intend to "redouble our efforts" to-recon- 011g Italy. Ethiopia and the league before that date, and appealed dir- ectly to I1 Duce and the people of Italy in “dismiss entirely from their minds the suspicion tilat we have sinister motives behind our support of the League."

3. In announcing support for the projected oil embargo, Sir Sam- uel said he wished to make it clear “that no one government is any more responsible than another for this collective decision, or indeed for any of the sanctions propos- als." He did not specifically men- tion Canada in this connection.

Polite Warning

4. Taking cognizance of the North China. autonomy trouble, he politely warned Japan that her friendly relations with her neigh- bors might be endangered by in- dicctlons oi aggression in North China. .

Meanwhile the significance oi coming Anglo-French conversations in Pa-ris this weekend was magni- ﬁed by declarations that Britain is doing he;- utmost to restore peace before oil sanctions are ei- fectivo and by an announcement that Sir Robert. Varlsittart, Under- Secretary of State for Foreign Af- fairs, will accompany Sir Samuel to talk with Premier Laval.

Sir Samuel voiced regret that, Great Britain hacl failed in an 1 attempt to reopen disarmament. discussions with Germany. But there was little to be gained by, such discussions, he said, "so long j as the Ethiopian war is continu- 1 ing."

“We have no wish to weaken Italy or to humiliate Italy." sir Samuel told the House. "Indeed we are most anxious to see a strong Italy in this world-an Italy that is strohg morally, politically, social- ly, and that is able to contribute to the world invaluable assistance.
