WILSON EXPLAINS.
Japs Agreed TO Return Shantuns to
China, Says President.

Washington, Aug. President Will
son issued a formal statement last
night saying the frank statement
made by Viscount Uchida as to Jap
ans policy regarding Shantung fought
to serve % remove many Of the mis-
UNDERSTANDINGS which had begun to
accumulate about this question"
References in the Cchida statement
as to the agreement between Japan
and China in 1915 might be mislead-
ing" the president said. IF not COM
mented upon in the light of what &C.
cured in Paris"
When the question OF disposal Of
Shantung was definitely decided on
at Paris. President Wilson said, the
Japanese delegation, in reply 10 a
question from him, said:
The policy of Japan is TO hand back
the Shantung penlnusla in full sover-
eighty to China, retaining only the
economic privileges granted to Ger
many and the right to establish a set
Element under the usual condition at
Using Tao"
The presidents statement, made
public thru the State Department. fol-
lows:
The government Of the United
States has noted with interest the
frank statement made by Viscount
Uchida with regard to Japans future
policy respecting Shantung. The state
ment ought to serve to remove many
of the MISUNDERSTANDING which had
begun to accumulate about this ques-
ton.
But there are references in the
statement to an agreement entered
into between Japan and China in 1915
