WILSON TAKES
RESPONSIBILITY
FOR SHANTUJNG
Tells Senators of Provision in
Treaty Giving German Land
in China to Japan =.
By Associated Press.


PARIS, July 23.-The jap
aneSc delegation to the Peace
Conference to-day issued de-
NAL of assertions that the Sham
tung settlement in the German
Peace Treaty was in exchange
for the withdrawal of the jap
ancSe contention regarding the
racial clause in the League of
Nations covenant.
Washington, July 23.-Confer-
ences with Republican Senators on
the Peace Treaty and the League of
Nations covenant were continued to-
day by President Wilson. Senators
on the visiting list were: Page, Ver-
mort; Sterling, South Dakota; Nc
Lean, Connecticut, and Newberry,
Michigan.
Mr.. Wilson's condition continued
to improve and it is expected that
within a few days he will have en-
tirely recovered from the effects of
an attack of intestinal trouble. He
still is weak and so the conference
to-day will be in his study in the
White House instead of in the eX-
ecutive offices.
President Wilson in his talks with
Republican Senators has assumed
entire responsibility for the provi-
sion in the Peace Treaty that gives
German former rights and terri
tory in the Shantung province of
China to Japan.
Had Understanding With Japan
The President told his callers that
the Snantung problem was referred
to him by the Peace Conference,
ard that he had recommended that
Shantung be given to Japan in ac-
cordance with the secret agree
ments made by Japan with Great
Britain, France, Italy and Russia
before Japan's entry nto the war.
If Japan had not gore in and
closed the German naval base at
Kiao Chau, it would have been i'm
possible to have sent troops to the
fighting lines from New Zealand
and Australia, unless Great Britain
or France had sent expeditions to
Shantung themselves, the President
said.
The President gave Senators CAL
der, New York; Edge, New Jersey,
and Cummins, Iowa, to understand
that he secured an understanding
with Japan before he consented to
the award of Shantung to that
country; that Japan would renounce
all territorial rights ana retain only
economic and citizenship rights for
the japanese living in Shantung.
Wilson'S Solution
Inquiry at the White House to-
day concerning published reports
that the Shantung provision of the
peace treaty was President Wilson's
personal solution of the problem
brought neither confirmation nor
denial and only the statement that
no comment would be made.
Senators who have discussed the
Shantung provision with the Presi-
dent stated, however. that they had
not been given to understand the
President proposed the Shantung
provision as a solution of the prob
lem, but that he had found himself
unable to convert the Japanese
delegates to any other view.
The senators said they had been
told that Premiers Clemenceau and
Lloyd George represented to the
President that they were bound by
the agreements of their governments
with Japan, and that If the Japan
ese statesmen were to be convert
ed to any other views the Presi-
dent himself would have to under
take the attempt. 1t was futile, the
senators said they were told.
