y s.s week rssors the tbsst chapter
eighty over the leased territory OF
Kiaouchow.
Mr.. Debuchi admitted that he spoke
without any instructions from his gov
eminent, but his declaration is under
stood here to cG !e with assurances
given to the Chinese delegation by the
allied and associated representatives
at the peace conference.
Allegations have recently been made
that Japan intended to militarize
Shantung and to exercise full soyer-
eighty over the territory. To this al
legation Mr.. Debuchi was asked to
make reply and he said:
Il am not in a position at the pres
ent moment to give you an official
statement, nor am | authorized by my
government to speak on the point
mentioned by you. But | may say
that according to my opinion Japan
is firmly determined to return to Chi
ma her sovereignty over the leased ter
ritory of Kiaouchow, the exercise of
which was given by China to Germany.
Japan will of course withdraw
from Shantung every soldier as soon
as practicable
when will that be-" Mr.. Debuchi
was asked.
He answered: 81 can not tell you,
but as soon as practicable. But you
must clearly understand that it would
be difficult to say anything in def
mite way at the present moment, when
China is still not a signatory party to
the peace treaty with Germany. Every
thing is subject to a tacit agreement
between China and Japan in regard to
/ the Shantung settlement"
Mr.. Debuchi was in conference at
the state department with Secretary
Lansing Monday morning. Neither
| the Japanese embassy nor the state
/ department would give any intimation
Of the progress of the conversations
going forward between the Japanese
and American governments in regard
to the recommendation made original
/ " at Paris by the United States that
Japan make a public declaration in
respect of her intentions concerning
Shantung.
1t was learned at the state depart
ment that the United States never has
withdrawn the request the American
delegation made of the Japanese dele.
CATION at Paris that an official Jap
anese declaration be made, and there
is excellent reason to believe not only
that President Wilson has directed
since his return to Washington the
attention of the Japanese government
to the American advice given at Paris
but that the Japanese government It.
self is interested in the popular opin.
ion of the United States, which has
manifested concern for a public decla
ration by the Japanese government
