Open Door plan halves scope at Washington talks
In Washington on January 18 the Far Eastern committee accepted parts of the Open Door plan while scrapping the proposed inquiry into existing concessions in China. France and Japan objected, backed by Britain’s suggestion to drop the issue entirely. Chinese officials reserved right to revisit later as delegates feared ongoing probes into China’s economic armaments. The plan now pledges no new spheres of influence and sets up an international board to report violations of equal opportunity in trade.
