WASHINGTON, July 24.-George H.

the house rules committee today that

users of the country buy, the coal
will not be mined"

WASHINGTON, July 24-Declaring
the treaty provision giving Japan
control in Shantung had been repeat

misunderstood" Senator Robinson.
Democrat. Ark, told the Senate today
dt was unjust to suspect Japan's mo-
tives or to question the declaration Of
her statesmen that the territory even
tually would be restored to China 1T
has been stated by one senator" said
Mr.. Robinson that by the treaty
Shantung with Its 10000. 900 inhabi-
tants Is wrested from China and pre-
scented to japan. The territory In
volved in this controversy Is limited
to small Land area Of approximately
200 square miles and an equal water
area. The total population Of the
leased area Is approximately ICE, 900

Kiao Chew region. These negotia-
tons were successful March 6, 1898
Germany concluded treaty with Chi

80 years on both sides Of the bay OF

cured the agreement Of China to rec
ognize any settlement that she might
make with Germany upon the restor
alton of peace"
1t Is said China was induced by
fear Of war with Japan to enter into
the treaty Of 1915 agreeing to what
ever arrangements Japan might make
with Germany. But every commercial
treaty Of importance now in force be
tween China and European nations
IS the result Of war or some Other
form Of duress. 1t we go back into
history and invalidate every treaty
into which duress has entered. chaos
in international relation will result.
Senators have expressed indigna
ton at the agreement Of Great Bri
tain and France during the war tt
support Japan in her demands at the
peace conference. Perhaps the same
cr1ticisms apply equally to the actor
of the United States following these
agreements in recognizing the specia
Interests OF japan In China 1t II
Baid they were all made primaril!
to encourage Japan to increased acdvi
ties in the war. The allies were
!straining every resource to beat bacl
the every increasing forces of th'
enemy.
Il believed then and I still believ,
that the policy by which japan wa
cemented to the allies was both JUS
and wise. The Influences now at worl
to cause China to hold out do not az
pear calculated to result In benef
ito either China or this country"
