Washington. Aug. 11 The United States will not withdraw its armed forces from China until the "Open Door" has been assured, the "Washington Star" said yesterday in an editorial commenting on the British withdrawal of troops from China.
The withdrawal of British forces from China, according to London, is due to the disappearance of the original cause of their presence, namely Chinese banditry, the newspaper said.
"But the United States Governments opinion," the "Stai id, that the Japanese, in their Chinese undertakings, have behaved ruthlessly, it not quite like bandits. Japanese Government and Japanese army pressure on western interests in Shanghai is far weightier than the old Chinese bandits problem.
"What the United States wants is what it has wanted since the birth of the International Settlement—the 'Open Door' in China. What the United States fears from Japan is a closed door."—United Press.
