The New American Treaty ith regard to the agreement that has just_been conclusled be. tween the United king, Mr. Wang out the following for publication:—Although some people in Japan may think that the Sino-American treaty is meaningless, T an. rather of the opinion that its conclusion will have far-reaching effect on the relations between China and the other Powers. The present case reminds me of a similar one when Great Britain signed a trealy of full equality with Japan abe of the other Powers in the days of the Emperor Meiji, when Japan was struggling for revision of her treaties with other nations. he conditions in China to-day are certainly not on a par with the conditions that obtained in Japan then, but the public opinion of the world has considerably changed since then and 1 hope the Powers will give sympathetic consideration to the efforts of China for recovery lof her lost national rights.
