Senator johnson of California: And
you, Mr.. President, were the one who
was endeavoring to determine-I
gather this from the news dispatches
the question upon it's merits and its
justice.
The President: Our government
was the only government free under
the circumstances, yes.
Senator johnson of California: Yes,
sir. Do YOU mind stating, or would
you prefer not, what it was that
caused you ultimately to accede to the
decision that was demanded by
Japan?
The President: Only the. conclusion
that l thought that it was the best
that could be got under the circum-
stances.(
Senator Brandegee: May l inter-
polate there without disturbing you,
Senator Johnson?
Senator Johnson OF California: Yes.
sir
Senator Brandegee: In part six of
the hearings before our committee on
page 1S2, Senator johnson OF California
asked Secretary Lansing: treadingl
WAS the Shantung decision made in
order to have the Japanese signatures
to the league Of nations!
Secretary Lansing: That cannot
say.
Senator johnson of California: In
Your opinion was it?
Secretary Lansing: ] would not want
to say that, because i really have not

Millard Definition Too Broad.

The President: And in this sense
every treaty that concerns territory
anywhere affects region. and Is a
regional understanding; but that is a
very broad and vague meaning to at
tach to the word.
Senator johnson Of California: Mr.
President. 1 am quite hesitant about
asking certain questions which I wish
TO ask. i apologize in advance for
asking them. and 1 trust you will stop
me at once IL they are questions which
Sou deem Inappropriate or that ought
not to be asked.
The President: Thank you.
Senator Johnson of California: First,
We have pending now treaties of peace
with Austria. with Hungary. with
Bulgaria, and with the Ottoman en-
pire. all of which involve tremendous
new territorial adjustments; and un-
der those new territorial adjustments
we will have our obligations. moral or
otherwise, under the league of ma
tions, of course. The new territorial
adjustments about to be determined
upon in these various treaties are
really greater in extent. or quite as
important at least, as those that are
provided for by the Germany treaty.
are they not?

The President: 1 should say SO:
yes. '...
Senator Johnson of California: They
will deal not only with the creation of
the boundaries of new nations. but
possibly with the subject of manda-
tories, too?
The President: Welt the treaties
will not themselves deal with the
mandatories- That is a matter that
will be decided by the league.
Senator johnson of California: Oh,
yes.
The President: But the treaties will
no doubt create certain territories
which fall under the trusteeship
which will lead to mandatories.
Senator Johnson of California: So
that there is a very important-in
fact, the most important-part of the
territorial world settlement yet to be
made?
The President: Well. in extent. YES.

Titory covered is concerned. yes.

The President: Oh. indeed 1 did. very

Senator johnson of California: And
the decision ultimately reached at the
peace conference was disappointment
to you?
The President. Yes. sir; may
frankly say that il was.
Senator Johnson of California: You
would have preferred, as think most
of US would, that there had been a diff
ferent conclusion of the Shantung
provision or the Shantung difficulty or
controversy at the Paris peace con-
ference?
The President. Yes; 1 frankly in
