sHANTUNG AND WHAT REPUBLICAN SENATORS
WOULD DO ABOUT IT

Republican senators who. all at
once. have become enormously exer-
cised about Shantung. want to amend
the peace treaty by leaving out Of 1t
effect of this would be to confirm to
Japan everything which that coun-
try obtained from China by the treaty
of 1915 and let Japan hold forever by
force what it has offered to take
peaceably only for time.
Examination of the facts can leave
no other conclusion. Leaving out of
the treaty the Shantung clause, as
contemporary shows, would merely
leave Japan in possession of Shan
tung, or rather OF Kiao-Chau and
some of the hinterland. Japan now
holds that territory. All that has
been written into the peace reaty Is
recognition of the fact that she is
there. Strike out that clause. either
by amendment or reservation and
what will remain will be the physical
way of ousting her. unless, indeed,
these senators propose to transport an
American army to Asia to force her
out We can hardly believe that they
mean that. after all the talk they have
INDUCED in about howAa league of ma
tions Will compel us to send armies to
Poland, or to the borders of Arabia,
or to 1.-The passes of the Himalayas.'
Mr.. Ray Stannard Baker. in an ac-
count of the negotiation with Japan
at the peace conference which was
published in the New York Times on
! Sunday says that. il MIR. Wilson had
insisted on the immediate return of
Kiao -Chau to China Tho would have
had to force Great Britain and France
to break their pledged word to
Japan" a thing obviously impossible.
and that even II he had succeeded It
would have been likely that Japan
would have withdrawn from the peace
conference.
What would have happened II she
had withdrawn? The very thing that
the Republican senators are trying,
OF course unintentionally, to bring
about. She would have. quit YER
sailles still in full control of Kiao-
Chau. but it would have been worse
than that. She would have quit NJ
the declared enemy Of the western
powers, including the United States,
owing them nothing and full Of en-
nifty. II, we can cure ourselves OF
sentimentaiity long enough to look
facts in the face. it might be worth
our while to ponder these words of
MF. Bakers:

ton than any Othef Of the allies :.
except tho United states. Shc
had been httlc hurt and much
strengthened By the war She was
far distant from danger. she did
not need the league Of nations M
much as the countries or Europe,
and. more than anything else, she

treaties both with China and the |
allies. and she was. moreover, In

was unchanged, except that she ap-
peared better for the enforced rest

Il remember practically all she
said. She was thankful for the
quiet time, as her life had been
such a burden and rush in many

for her life had contained so much
trial that she was weary beyond
endurance. They have treated me

merry was then located near Andre
