of Washington Tokyo, Sept. 6.
Diplomatic observers close to official quarters tonight accused America of violating the spirit of the Washington Treaty, in connection with American interests in the China National Aviation Corporation.
At the same time the diplomatic observers conceded grounds ior the American contention that American interests suffered a loss because an American company is a shareholder in the C.N.A.C., owner of the Douglas plane forced down after a chase by Japanese naval planes near Macao on August 24, as pointed out by the United States Government in a note to the Japanese Government on August 26.
The diplomatic observers pointed Out that the China National Aviation Corporation is capitalized at $10,000,- 000, of which a big percentage of the stock is owned by American interests, "so that actually the American concern entirely controls the corporation, which virtually is an extension of the Pan-American Airways."
Although the C.N.A.C. was established as a Chinese concern in 1929, they stated, all matters relating to ihe transportation and carriage of mails was handed over to the American corporation," which retained its Chinese name but whose management always has been American and whose operation has been in charge of Americans." j "In other words," the observers declared, "though the C.N.A.C. ostensibly has been a joint enterprise its means of securing for Pan-American Airways an air route monopoly is against the treaty spirit.
"America always has been an advocate of the open door in China but this fact shows that she has not abided by the spirit of the Washington Treaty."—Domei.
