ther efforts to get real information
are worth while"
Waiting Game Liked.
AS the opponents Of the league be-
lieve that every day adds to their
strength, they are not unwilling to
play the waiting game which the Pres
ident has, according to their theory,
made necessary. They were particu-
larly delighted with one statement by
Secretary Lansing today, when he ad-
mitted that the "full extent Of the
United States obligations cannot be
known until the texts of all the treaties
are available"
This provides an excellent excuse,
they think, for holding back on con-
sideration of the treaty until they find
out what the President has committed
the country to in other treaties. Mr..
Lansing, incidentally, did not know

which it is expected to ratifv
Senator Lodge dryy said he had
obtained an English copy and inserted
it in the Record.
Mr. Lansing volunteered some infor-
nation about the workings of the peace
conference which made Senators won
der if they could get the information
they want even from Colonel House,
except on the league of nations com
mission.
Difficult Points up to 'Big 4"
Colonel House was on the league
commission with the President, but
most of the difficult points of the
treaty, Mr. Lansing said, were handled
by the Council of four" consisting
of the heads Of states, President Will
son, and Premicrs Lloyd George.
Clemcnceau and Orlando. Japan was
not represented on this, he said. be-
cause she was not represented by a
head of state.
The committee will proceed with it's
hearings but the prospect of the end
of the fight was moved beyond the
power Of the best parliamentary stu
alton guessers by today's develop
ments.

.J0pnnese Secret
Pact Concealed
Lansing Says He Learned
Of Shonfung Treaty
First ut Versailles

WASHINGTON, Aug Existence
OF the secret treaty between Japan
and Great Britain regarding the Shan
tung. China, peninsula, was Concealed"
from Secretary Lansing by Vscount
lshii, Japanese Ambassador to the
united States, Mr.. Lansing testified to-
day before the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee.
On September G, 1917. Mr.. Lansing
said, during the negotiations leading
up to the Lansing -Ishii agreement. Vis-
count lshii told him that he had as
sured Sir Edward Grey, the British
torelgn Minister, that Japan would re-
turn Kiao-chau to China, "but would
have to retain the German Pacific
Islands, because no Japanese govern
ment could stand without retailing
them.'
Did Viscount Ishii make any further
statement regarding the disposition Of
German claims in China ?" asked SEN
ator Borah, Republican, of Idaho.
No" replied Secretary Lansing
But you know now that at that time
Japan had an understanding with Great
britain for Japanese control of Kiao-
chau and that Ishii concealed that
from the Secretary of the United
States'
"That's the truth"
Learns of Secret Treaties
The Secretary said he first heard of
the secret treaties ON the subiect he.
tween Japan and Great Britain. France
NuSsla and Italy in February of this
