In the light of the situation herein reviewed, the Government of the United States asks that the Japanese Government implement its assurances already given with regard to the maintenance of the open door and to non-interference with American rights by taking prompt and effective measures to cause:
1. The discontinuance of discriminatory exchange control and of other measures imposed in areas in China Under Japanese control which operate either directly or indirectly to discriminate against Aunemican trade and enterprise; 2. The discontinuance of any monopoly or of any preference which would deprive American nationals of the right of undertaking any legitimate trade or industry in China or of any arrangement which might purport to establish in favour of Japanese interests any general superiority of rights with regard to commercial or economic develop-Ment in any region of China; and 3. The discontinuance of interference by Japanese authorities in China with American property and other rights, including such forms of interference as censorship of American mail and telegrams and restrictions upon residence and travel by Americans and upon American trade and shipping.
"The Government of the United States believes that in the interest of relations between the United States and Japan an early reply would be helpful"—United Press.
