The Fight for the Republic in China
Putnam Weale, B. L. (Bertram Lenox)
China -- History -- Republic, 1912-1949; China -- Politics and government
Article 1. The two Contracting Parties mutually agree that when the
opportune moment arrives the Hanyehping Company shall be made a
joint concern of the two nations and they further agree that without
the previous consent of Japan, China shall not by her own act
dispose of the rights and property of whatsoever nature of the said
Company nor cause the said Company to dispose freely of the same.
Article 2. The Chinese Government agrees that all mines in the
neighbourhood of those owned by the Hanyehping Company shall not be
permitted, without the consent of the said Company, to be worked by
other persons outside of the said Company; and further agrees that
if it is desired to carry out any undertaking which, it is
apprehended, may directly or indirectly affect the interests of the
said Company, the consent of the said Company shall first be
obtained.
GROUP IV
The Japanese Government and the Chinese Government with the object
of effectively preserving the territorial integrity of China agree
to the following special articles:--
The Chinese Government engages not to cede or lease to a third Power
any harbour or bay or island along the coast of China.
GROUP V
Article 1. The Chinese Central Government shall employ influential
Japanese advisers in political, financial and military affairs.
Article 2. Japanese hospitals, churches and schools in the interior
of China shall be granted the right of owning land.
Article 3. Inasmuch as the Japanese Government and the Chinese
Government have had many cases of dispute between Japanese and
Chinese police to settle cases which caused no little
misunderstanding, it is for this reason necessary that the police
departments of important places (in China) shall be jointly
administered by Japanese and Chinese or that the police departments
of these places shall employ numerous Japanese, so that they may at
the same time help to plan for the improvement of the Chinese Police
Service.
Article 4. China shall purchase from Japan a fixed amount of
munitions of war (say 50% or more) of what is needed by the Chinese
Government or that there shall be established in China a
Sino-Japanese jointly worked arsenal. Japanese technical experts are
to be employed and Japanese material to be purchased.
Article 5. China agrees to grant to Japan the right of constructing
a railway connecting Wuchang with Kiukiang and Nanchang, another
line between Nanchang and Hanchow, and another between Nanchang and
Chaochou.
Article 6. If China needs foreign capital to work mines, build
railways and construct harbour-works (including dock-yards) in the
Provinces of Fukien, Japan shall be first consulted.
Article 7. China agrees that Japanese subjects shall have the right
of missionary propaganda in China.[13]
