Kellogg, is studying the report of the China Extraterritoriality Commission with a view to deciding what should be done to carry out its recommendations.
Under the resolution of the Washington Arms Conference these recommendations are not. binding on any country and the Administration does not feel that it is obliged to act jointly with the other Powers. It is expected, however, that some. steps will be taken to correct the abuses criticized by the Commission, The only recommendation requiring Congressional legislation here is the suggestion that Chinese laws: should be used as far as possible in extraterritorial courts, which might hinder appeal to the higher' courts in this country unless authorized by Congress.—Reuter.
