CHINA TELLS HOW
SHE AVERTED WAR
Bowed to Japan's Demands
Aimed to Extend Rights
Without Any Return.

PEKTNG, Nav 1.-THE Chinese gov
ernmcnt has issued "a frank and plain
statement connected with the dras-
tic action of Japan" in presenting It's
ultimatum on May 7.
contendng that China aimed at the
consolidation of the friendShip exist
ing between China and Japan. and vas
particularly solicitous for the preser-
walton of peace in the Far East. the
statement says
Unexpectedly. on January lS, Japan
adopted the unusual course of present
ing a list of twenty-one momentous de-
mands, arranged in five groups. Al
though there was no cause for such
demarche, the Chinese government. In
Difference to the wishes Of the Japan
ese government. Immediately agreed
to open negotiations on those articles 3
which 1t was possible for China to
consider. Despite the palpableness OF
the whole demands being intended to
extend the rights and interests OF
Japan without securing a quid pro quo
of any kind for China, China approach
ed the pending conference with a de-
termination to deal with all questions
frankly and sincerely.
Concessions Agreed Upon.
Even when Japan dispatched large
bodies of troops to Shantung province
and ManChuria. with the ostensible
purpose of relieving the Rarrisons. II is
pointed out. China, although the action
caused Indignation and alarm on the
part of the Chinese people. exerted its
influence to prevent rupture OF the
negotiations.
''Throughout the conferences" says
the statement. the Chinese govern
ment steadfastly strove to arrive at an
concession possible. OF the twenty
one demands Submitted, China agreed
to fifteen. some in principle, some
teXtually. six Of them being initiated
bv both parties"
There is then set out at great length
tn" demands to which China agreed. At
the ilrst conference she accepted in
lTlnClple the demands that she assent
t. the transfer of German rights in
Shautung to Japan, and that she should
not ccd" or lease to any third power
amy territory inland OF land on the
sea border Of Shantung. That Japan
should be given preference. provided
Germany abandoned her privilege OF
supplying capital for the construction
of a railway from ChcGoo or Lungkow
TO connect with the kiaochow-C Chinfu
railway, in the event OF China deciding
t. build that railway with foreign CAPT
tai: That she would open certain impor-
tant cities IN ShantunR as trade marts
under regulations approved by Japan.
