maintain her sovereignty and territorial and administrative
integrity and to restore peaceful relations among the nations in
the Far East.

to invite adherence of United States; in the absence of such
adherence to secure full approval and support of this alliance by
the United States.

before issuance of declarations).

separate loans to China with a view to maintaining China's foreign
exchange and national currency: total amount of such loans to be
between 200 million and 300 million United States dollars.

(b) United States to loan China each year from 500 to 1,000
fighting planes and to deliver to China from 200 to 300 such
planes before end of this year.

China military, economic and communications missions to devise
cooperative measures concerning Far East in conjunction with
Chinese Government. Members of such delegations may be appointed
by Chinese Government as advisers.

States on the one hand and Japan on the other hand, whole of
