Their modification OF the japanese de-
mands in the ultimatum Of May s.
China's reply TO the draft of April %
was the cause of the threatened break
between the two governments. as 1t con-
tanned not only a refusal of many Of
the japanese demands but also submit
ted contemporaries with reference to
Kaiochow highly unacceptable to the
Japanese government.
What saved the situation, as far as IL
has been able to determine here from
the press dispa tches of the last two days
and the Japanese statement of yeSter-
day. was the japanese withdrawal of all
the demands of Group V except those to
which China had already given her
consent
Regarding Kaiochow. Japan has
pledged herself TO China to return that
territory to China. under certain condi-
tions, which. according to press reports,
China has accepted. These the Jap
anese statement describes as follows:
Opening of kiaochow as CONNER
cal port.
Establishment of a Japanese settle
ment in the locality to be designated by
Japan.
Establishment. if required by the pow
ers. of an international settlement
Arrangements to be made between the
japanese and Chinese governments re-
sarding the disposal of the German pub
lie structures and properties
German Basis In East.
Germany had converted Kiaochow into
an important military and commercial
port. turning it into a basis of her expan-
sion in the East. 1t has become utterly
hopeless for China to regain single handed
possession of the leased territory Japa.,.
