SAYS KIAOCHOW DIFFERS
FROM FIUME SITUATION
Baron Goto Asserts Japan Has
Never Demanded Permanent =
Occupation Of Territory.

NEW YORK, May 7-Prefacing an
address before the Japan Society here
last night with the declaration that
he was a private citizen" and did not
speak "in behalf of the Japanese gov
ernment" Baron Shimpei Goto, former
foreign minister Of Japan, character
lied the MISUNDERSTANDING situation
as mot to be viewed in the same light
as the Fiume question:
Japan has never demanded perma-
nent occupation of the former Ger
man territory Of Kiaochow," he said.
ITO the contrary she has repeatedly
proclaimed to the world that she
would return 1t to China, after it was
Internationally given to her at the
peace conference. In the Judgment of
the Japanese government 1t was nee
essary for Japan to establish an un-
ritory before she was in a position
to restore it to China. In returning
Shantung to China, Japan's policy has
been Influenced by the fear that the
Chinese government may not be able
to keep the province-that 1t may be
virtually mortgaged to a third power
to the detriment not only Of China,
but also Of Japan.
I'm returning Kiaochow to China,
Japan will undoubtedly make it plain
that she will never acquiesce in the
cession of that territory to any third
power or in the arbitrary granting of
concessions to foreign nations in the
satisfactory agreement will soon be
made between China and Japan with
a view to preventing such an unfor-
tunate development"

The treaty handed to the Germans to-
day at Versailles is the result Of the
work Of the representatives of the allied
and associated powers arrayed against
Germany, who convened officially on
January Is, less than four months ago.
The time between the armistice, Novem-
ber II, and January is was occupied in
preparing claims and reports, in the Sc
lection of delegates and in their travel
to Paris
President Wilson and the American
delegates sailed from New York on De-
cember 4, 1918, and when the President
set foot at Brest on December 13 he was
the first American President to visit
Europe while in office. The intervening
month before the opening of the con-
ference was spent by the President in
becoming acquainted with allied states
men and in visiting England, Italy and
parts Of France.
Clemenceau Made Chairman.

at its meeting on January Is was to
elect Georges Clemenceau, premier Of
France, as chairman. On January 81
the conference adopted the proposal that
all Russian factions meet on the Princes
Islands to discuss the Russian situation.
Nothing ever came of the proposal. Three
days later the conference ordered fight
ing over disputed territory to cease
