TOSHANTUNGISSUE
DIR. Iyenaga Says China and
Japan Are Nearing an
Agreement.
PROVINCE NOT AFFECTED
Toxic Will Explain Restora-
ton Plan--Warns Against
e Attacks in U. 8.

Japan and China rapidly are nearing
an understanding with regard TO Kiao-
chow, and the Japanese Government
soon will respond TO President Wilson'S
request with formal declaration OF the
time and method of restoring the former
German base to China, in the opinion of
DR.. T. Iyenaga. who has been considered
the unofficial but authoritative. spokes-
man for the Japanese Government in
New York.
DR.. Iyenaga's statement was prompted
by the receipt of news frof Toxic yester-
day to the effect that the Government
already had given a.statement OF its po-
sition to the press and the report that an
official declaration will follow. IRE
spective Of what eventually happens to
the treaty OF Versailles. DR.. Iyenaga
points out, its Shantung settlement is as
sured to Japan by her still existing
treaties with England. France, Italy.

the same effect has SO many times been

the present moment will do any good.

fuss about the shantung settlement" he
continues. 'T cannot but take II as the
result of either ignorance or deliberate
exaggeration to serve some purpose.
This cutlery seems to have originated
In large measure by mixing up
Kiaochow and shantung. One Is a big
province about the size OF the State OF
Illinois, while Kiaochow has land area
Of about 200 square miles.
That the province OF Shantung. with
$4,000 square miles of land and popu-
lation OF $1,000, 900. has been handed
over to Japan by the peace treaty Is
sheer nonsense. Were this true, not
only China but Great Britain would
likewise be disturbed, for there Ia the
British leasehoid of Wei-hei-wei and &
forcing settlement at Chefoo on the
Shantung coast opposite Kiaochow. The
principal points of the Shantung settle-
ment are
~. Transfer of the leasehold OF Kiao-
chow. This. however. IL to be restored
to China.
Railway, with its branch lines and mines,
"s. Acquisition of movable and i'm
movable property owned by Germany In
Kiaochow.
-. Acquisition of German cables from
Tsinstao to Shanghai and from Tsingtao
to Chefoo."
Rather than infringe on Chinese SOW
ereignty, DR.. Iyenaga asserts, the set
Element serves to enhance II, as japan
agrees to return to China n leasehold
| which Germany held for ninety-nine
years. The railroad which Germany
used for her military purposes Is here
after to be run Jointly by China and
Japan. with Chinese police patrolling tho
lines and every Japanese soldier with
drawn. Such Japanese settlements as
are established will have the same status
as any other of the many foreign set
Elements in Chinese territory. and Shan
tung will in this respect be the same as
the provinces In which these other for
| eign settlements are located.
He concludes with a defence OF the
| integrity of the Chinese-German treaty
| which gave the Teutons Kiaochow in
| 1898 and which was then and since APP
proved by the other nations, the agree
ment by. China to approve Of any ar
rangements Japan might make at the
peace with Germany and with An ex-
preston that the good feeling between
Japan and the United States cannot be
| permanently impaired.
| Attacks on Japan In this country at
this time, however, will have their eff
feet In the Far East and stir up trouble
between China and japan.

Senator Watson Says German
Rights Japan Took Over
Were Tainted.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Declarlng the
hiLtory Of German and Japanese acquisi-
lions in shantung had been one wrong
heaped upon another Senator Watson,
Republican. Indiana. asked the Senate
to-day to reject that provision OF the
Versailles treaty which gives Japan con-
troll In Shantung peninsula.
The original Shantung rights, Senator
Watson said, were taken from China by
Germany In 1898 through a demand en-
forced by a feet of battleships and had
been expanded to embrace complete eco
nomic 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 a treaty
obtained by force" from China in 1915,
and by secret agreements established
on fraud" contaminated with the Allies
in 1917.

Japan Denies Design
on Shantung Territory

TOXIC, via London, Aug. b.
Viscount Uchida, the Japanese
Foreign Minister, in a statement
issued to-day declares that Japan
does not intend to claim any
rights affecting the territorial
sovereignty of China in Shantung.
He promises that the Japanese
troops will be withdrawn i'm
mediately an agreement Is con-
cluded with China.
Japan, moreover, the Foreign
Minister'S statement adds, is con-
sidering the establishment ut
Tsingtao Of general foreign set
Element instead Of a purely
Japanese settlement.
Viscount Uchida begins his
statement by saying that it ap-
pears despite the official state
ment of the Japanese delegation
in Paris, May s, which he fully
indorsed, and O subsequent inter-
view given by him to the press,
Japan's policy with regard to
Shantung was little understood
or appreciated abroad.
The Foreign Minister then re-
calls that Japan by an ultimatum
in August, 1914, demanded the
surrender by Germany of the en-
tire leased territory Of Kiao-
Chau, without condition or COM
pensation, within . month with a
view to its eventual restoration
to China.

while the other party II out Of the ring.
To-day's news, therefore, inspires me
with the hope that Japan and China are
on the point Of reaching mutual UNDER
standing, and that the uncertain atmos-
phere that has enveioped the Shantung
question will soon be clarified.
THE world has n short memory of the
past" DR.. Iyenaga began his statement,
and then proceeded to review the part
Japan played In the war from the time
she entered II In pursuance Of the Anglo
Japanese treaty up to the peace confer
ence He recalls that at one stroke
japan wiped out the German base at
Kiao-Chau making impossible German
operations In the Far East, and that
after that she patrolled the South Pacific,
the Indian Ocean and part OF the Medi-
terranean, thus freeing great allied fleets

Zealand troops to Europe.
| Imagine" he says. "the status In the
Far East had the Japanese army and
navy not been mobilixed and active"
Japanese troops were not on the bat
tlecelds as the result of q decision which
was not wholly Japan's own, he says,
and explains that Japan participated In
the allied effort through participation in
loans and otherwise to the best of her
ability.
| Precautionary treaties with the allied
Powers were entered into, he says, be-
cause of the bitter experience at the end
Of the Chino-Japenese war of 1895, when

the japanese treaties with. England

reasons, "as these other treaties stand

of Versailles does with the matters they

pursue an idea:istic course, with the
hard lines into which Japan is cast with
