A resolution requesting President
Wilson to submit to the Senate the

esa delegates to the Peace Confer

regard to Shantung than they were
the day peace was signed.
japan is ready 20 return Shantune
to China as soon as the peace treaty
is ratif ed according to statement
today by member of the Japanese
delegation.
"The Japanese delegation is sur
prised that America, as well as
China, is not willing to trust Japan
he said. "We are obliged to return
Shantung under the terms of the 1916
treaty. We are ready now to give
Shantung to China, retaining equal
rights with China IN the information
al railway and guaranteeing free en-
trance to the port of Kiau-chau."
According to the best information
Baron Maxine ,heat. of the Japan
ese delegation, does not intend to
make public his promise to the
big four, as he believes such a state
ment would be sups1Iluous.
The Chinese maintain the same
stand they held when the treaty was
signed. They declare retention of
railway rights by Japan would place
Shantung directly under domination
of the Toxic government. They insist
China will sign the treaty only if per-
mitted to file a reservation.
