willingness to make public the treaties
in spite of japanese pressure.
China has asked, depending upon
the impression made upon the accord
tied delegates from other countries
that the peace conference see the
twenty-one demands made upon China
by Japan in 1915 be revoked and that
the Chinese republic be removed def
nite1y from the influence of Japan.
The complete independence of China
is asked under the protection of the
league of nations.
The account of Minister Reinsch's
visit to the Picking foreign office says
he reaffirmed the friendship of the
United States for China and desired to
give active support in her desire for
independence. He learned, however,
that the Japanese minister in Picking
reached the foreign minister few
minutes before him and conveyed the
intimations of what would happen if
Japan's demands were not met. Dis
patches received here describing the
situation at Paris declare that the jap
aneser attitude is causing real alarm
in official circles of European powers
and the United States. They speak of
constant efforts of Japan to acquire
concessions in China and Siberia and
of her demands for the Caroline and
Marshall Islands asd other islands in
the Pacific.
A Statement Is Made.
Paris, Feb. 11.-Japan has reuer-
ated her intention to hold the Mar
shall and Caroline islands in the
Pacific which she took from Germany
during the war, as we'll as to insist
upon the execution of her agreement
reached in September last, with China
regarding Shantung. A formal state
ment to this effect by Japanese repre-
sentatives has been made public here
1t is not considered that the Chino
Japanese controversy or japanese
claims regarding the Pacific islands
are likely to delay the society of ma
tions project. 1t seems probably. how
ever, that these matters will be con-
sidered later by that organization.
Considerable space is being given tc
the Chino japanese controversy by the
French newspapers

Monday that the peace conference
might be moved from Paris because
of "obstructionist'' tactics from the
French press. caused the widest COM

such a thing could be considered.
