WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Declaring

acquisitions in Shantung had been

asked the senate today to reject that
provision of the Versailles treaty.
which gives Japan control in Shan

The original Shantung rights, Sena-
tor Watson said, were taken from
China by Germany in 1898 through
a demand enforced by feet of battle
ships. and had been expanded to en-
brace complete economic possession
of Shantung," through supplemental
treaties in 1899, 1900 and 1905. These
expanded, rights, he said, had been
taken from Germany in the present
war by Japan, who had sought to
reinforce her position by treaty lob
tanned by force" from China in 1915
and by "secret agreements" establish

allies in 1917.
Can 1t be said that taint no longer

tor. Does wrong ever become right?

PARIS, Monday, Aug. 4.-Shipping
and fuel representatives Of France.
Belgium and Italy conferred with
Herbert Hoover, head Of the Inter
national relief organization here to-
day and decided to urge the supreme
appoint a European coal commission
to coordinate the distribution Of Euro
pean coal in an effort to avert what
threatens to be disaster.
The meeting was held as a result
of warning given by Mr.. Hoover in
and address at the recent conference
in London of the supreme economic
council. He said that European coal
production was 35 percent. below
normal and that the United States
could not offer relief because Of the
shortage Of shipping. During his ad-
dress, Mr.. Hoover said:
The fate of European civilization
now rests in the hands of the coal
ministers and coal mine owners of
Europe to an equal If not a greater
degree than In the hands of the pro-
viders of food and supplies during
the next year"
Hoover Declines Offer
At today's meeting Mr.. Hoover de-

to the front as the greatest menace
to the stability Of life in Europe. This

BUENOS AYRES, Monday, Aug.
4.-Diplomatic relations between
Great Britain and Argentina as a re-
suit Of the purchase by Argentina of
the German steamship Bahia Blanca,
are delicate, according to LaNacion.
In tomorrow's edition the newspaper
will say:
Regarding rumors which from the
beginning have been founded on more
than supposition we have received YER
sions the gravity Of which are self
evident and according to which the
return to London of Sir Reginald
Tower, British minister to Argentina,
and the departure Of Francisco AL
varez de Toledo, Argentina minister
to England, from London are not dis
connected. On the contrary it ap-
pears the retirement of both ministers
is traceable to the purchase by Ar

from the Germans, which purchase the
| British government refused to recog-
nize.
Following this refusal Argentina
attempted to solve the difficulty by
appointing as minister at London.
| Senor Toledo, who, as minister of
marine, handled the negotiations for
the purchase of the ship. He pre-
sented his credentials to the British
foreign office some time ago but a
considerable period has elapsed with
out King George receiving him. 1t Is
reported there is no probability Of his
reception in the near future. 1t ap-
pears this might have been expected
as the British government never
stated that Senor Toledowas persona

When the great war broke out the
Bahia Blanca, a ship owned by the
Hamburg-American Steamship com
pany, was interned In the harbor OF
Buenos Ayres to prevent her capture
by allied warships. Some time later
1t was found the machinery of the ship
had been partly dismantled by the
crew to prevent the use of the vessel
in case she should be requisitioned by

In June, 1918 it was announced al

leased by Argentina and that the crew
had been given permission by the Ger
man ministry of marine to reveal the

ships machinery were hidden. Later
it was learned the ship had beer

The ship, however, never went to sea
because the allies and the United
States refused to recognize the trans
