Jap Reservations

every Kind relating to the territory
of Kiao- Chau, including all of the
treaties bearing on the subject. 1t
is said that until these are had the
Japanese government itself is not
able to make any pledges of re-
linquishment because it does not ex-
actly know the extent of it's own
holdings in Kiao-Chao and Shan
tung, nor. unless Germany should an
ticipate the treaty provisions on this
point, will Japan be in position to
transfer title not only before the
final ratification of the peace treaty,
but for months thereafter
Parliamentary approval is not
required i'll the case Of this treaty IN
Japan but it is said that there are
mechanical and routine difficulties
to be surmounted that will neces-
sarily consume much time, probably
several weeks, before the documen,
can be ratified. In the first place
it is pointed out the treaty has
barely reached Japan, at least
twenty days being required to make
the trip from Paris to Toxic. Trans
iation into Japanese. the next step
is said to be a most formidable un:
dertaking owing to the radical struc.
tural differences between the Japan
csc and English and French Ian
guages and therefore would require
several weeks at least.
Once translated. the document, It
is explained, will be placed in the
hands of the Japanese cabinet
which must consider it carefully and
submit it with comment and en-
dorsement to the emperor.
The latter will turn it over to his
privy council. who again must give
the document intensive study and
also make a critica. analysis UPON
returning it to the emperor. This,
however. is the last phase and If the
emperor is satisfied with the work
of his advisors ne may conclude the
treaty Immediately by afixing his
signature.
1t has been learned that at present
no disposition has been shown IN
Japan to amend the treaty in any
respect. But in Japanese circles
here it is asserted that in the event
that should either the French cham
Der or the American senate make
any reservations or changes SUBJ
stantially affecting the principles up.
on which the treaty is drawn the
Japanese government might attempt
also to make reservations, including
possibly provisions to safeguard the
principle of racial indiscrimination
and other ideas which the japanese
commissioners preached in Paris.
