JAPANESE CALL u. S.
CRITICISM "POLITICS"
Press Says c. O. p. Seeks to
Discredit Wilson.
BY the Associated Press.

TOXIC, Aug (delayed). The
newspapers generally are treating calm
ly in their editorial comment the va
rious phases OF the debate in the United
States Senate on the question of Shan
tung. The opinion most widely ad-
vanced Is that the Republican Senators,
who are opposing the provision in the
Peace Treaty relating to Shantung. are
using their arguments against Japan
mostly for political purposes and with
the idea of discrediting President Wilson.
The newspapers declare that no matter
what action the Senate may take in the
premises 1t cannot affect Japan's in
terests as acquired under the treaty,
which will be ratified by the other
Powers. The Yorodsu Choho expresses
the fear that the excessive anti-Jap-
anese allegations" will adversely affect
the good relations between Japan and
the United States. but says it considers
the attitude of the Republicans as an
attempt to promote party interests.
After pointing out that II is Japans
intention to restore Shantung TO China
and TO conduct economic undertakings in
Shantung Jointly with the Chinese, the
Hochi Shintbun interprets the attitude OF
the Republican Senators as being based
on Americas desire to achieve a world
economic conquest. including China
from which she desires to oust Japan
economically.
The JU Shimpo says the Japanese
Minister to China already has opened
negotiations with China concerning
Shantung It adds Japan is ready to
make restitution of Shantung as soon as
China is prepared to fulfil the terms oi
the dual agreement concerning Shantung
and that Japan will withdraw her troops
and divide Tsingtao into three settle
ments. japanese, Chinese and interna-
