 Discussing the Shantung provision of the treaty, Secretary Lansing said the Lansing-IshH agreement made to obtain reafnrmation by Japan of the open door policy in China, was enter ed into by the American government without knowledge of the secret treaty between Japan and the Allies for a transfer of German concessions in Shantung to Japan
 Lansing said 1t was true that Presi- dent Wilson had cabled the French Premier, requesting that the confi- dential minutes of the proceedings of tho commission on the League of Ma tons be not furnished to the French Senate.
 Mfr. Lansing did not recall how the American plan differed from that eventually adopted. Asked by Senator Brandegee, Republican. Connecticut. whether 1t was true that the American plan was drafted by two New York lawyers for the President the witness repiied:
 "I think that Is not true"
 And was the plan not destroyed be- cause it was so absurd 7'' asked MT. Brandesee.
 T never heard of that said MT. LanEtng.
 The Secretary said he thought the plan now embodied in the League Gov enant was a decided improvement on the American plan. He could not go into details. however because he was not a member of the commission which drafted the Covenant. The American plan. he thought was along tho same general lines" as the one adopted.
