san Francisco. Sept. n.-President
Wilson was given assurances at the
Peace Conference by the representa-
tives Of allied governments holding
territorial and economic concessions
in China that he might soon expect
the retrocession of those rights.
This was the Presidents statement
here today to the audience of 1000
women II was due to tNe women
in California that he vs. 0 -alscted
President in 1916. and he took 0cca-
sion at a luncheon given in his honor

hensive explanation of the Shantung
award to Japan that he has yet made
on this trip.

70 was during discussion OF the
Shantung award that the question
Of the returning of China property
10 China was broached. and here is
how the President put the matter to
the women of San Francisco this aft
ernoon:
sitting around our council board
in Paris, I put this question:
May I expect that this will be
the beginning of the retrocession to
China OF the exceptional rights
which other governments have en-
Joyed there and the responsible
representatives. of the othc- great
governments said, Yes. you may
Expect it Expect it? why, Of
course, l expect it"
The Shantung explanation WIS
the big point in President Wilson's
address here today and tonight and
the fact that ne reserved it for
California is an indication OF now
matters stand out here. From the
minute the President left his train
at Oakland this morning and was
ferried across the bay to San Fran
cisco. the immediate members OF
his party seemed to sense that he
: had reached a crucial battle-ground.
For this, in brief. is the situation
