Given Free Hand In Orient By
European Allies, Japan Has
Revived Group Five Claims For
Special Privileges In China
RESOURCES OF FUKlEN
COVETED BY NlPP0NESE
American Capital Is Most Inter-
ested In This Province and
Washington Originally Strongly
Objected To Any Aggression

VVl ASHINGToN, January a.
NJ That Japan has renewed her de.
mands upon China, threatening
the Independence of that Republic and
taking steps aimed against American
enterprises in the Province of Fukien,
and that Japan is to be given free
hand in her activities so far as the
governments of Russia, Great Britain
and France are concerned, is the belief
in diplomatic and official circles here,
based on reports from British sources.
Yesterday, the Manchester Guardian,
regarded as an authority on the affairs
or the Orient, announced that Japan
had renewed the demands upon China
for special privileges, which demands,
known as Group Five, had been with.
drawn last year. These demands, ac-
eording to the Guardian, have been pre-
scented to the Chinese minister at Toxic
FOR transmission to Peking, with re-
quest for early compliance.
Where Britain's Duty Lies
The Guardian expresses the hope
that the news viii be authoritative
ly contradicted, Z" as the previous de-
mands, 1t declares, presaged fun dan.
ger to China 5 independence. "It is
the hope Of British policy" says the
Guardian, "to see China strong and
independent. Our duty is to help in
that direction. - = Z
II is believed here that the belliger.
ents in Europe will offer no protest
against Japan s attitude, although it
threatens the independence Of China
The Central Powers are unable to act,
being powerless in the Orient for the
time being, while the Entente Powers
owing to the assistance Japan has Civ.
en- IN the war, are under obligations
to Japan which prevent them from
either action or protest. I'D htR x
II is not known definitely whether
the new demands include all that was
previously demanded in Group Five,
but 1t is believed that they include the
demand which includes the use of Jap
anese in the policing of Chinese cities
and the demands which prevent China
from developing any of the great natu-
raj resources in the Province of Fukien
without consulting Japan AS this is
the province where American capital
is most interested. this demand is re.
garded as inimical to American trade
and aimed particularly at Ameriean in,
Vestors and merchants. = Il 'saF "
Group Five Objectionable 81
Many diplomats here, when inform
ed that Japan has apparently renewed
the demands made but not accepted
last spring, express the belief that the
only power in a position to make eff.
feetiye protest is the United States.
The United Suites has never taken an
open position against Japan ON this
matter but Is understood TO regard all
the articles of Group Five as objection

r APANESE PAPERS
NOT ADVISED

None of the local Japanese papers
yesterday received any word from its
Toxic correspondent indicating that
the renewal of these demands is pnb-
hely known in the Japanese capital
The various japanese editors are in
elined to question the accuracy of the
Manchester Guardian 3 information, be-
hering that the protest which had
been prepared by the Japanese govern
ment against the reestablishment of
the Chinese monarchy, advance word
of which induced Yuan Shih.kai to an
nounee change Of attitude, has be
come confused in some way with the
Group Five demands.
A special despatch to the Nippu Jill
last night announced that Germany has
recognized the reyolutionists in China,

Province OF that name, having formally
notified the provisional government of
the Republic of Yunnan that Germany
