WASHINGTON. August s.-Secretary
Lansing. before the Senate Foreign Re-
!ations Committee today. expressed the
opinion that the Shantung provision of
the peace treaty did not square with
President Wilson'S enunciated principle
of sc!f-determination. but maintained
that the treaty as a whole carried out
substantially" the Presidents. four
teen points.
Declaring his unfa miliarity with
many details of the peace negotiations
and Of the treaty Itself, the secretary
told the committee ne was unable to
answer many OF its questions. and re-
minded Senators in answering others
that ne merely was expressing his own
personal views
Says ASK the Prcaidcnt..,
ASK the President" the secretary
said. when pressed for details of the
Shantuns and league OF nations nego-
ne asked permission to refresh his
memory and make statement TO the
committee later. and when he was asked
Tor a detailed construction of the labor
ana repArations clauses he protested
that he could not be expected to carry
the minuita of an S0o00-word document
~ his mind. and reminded the commit
tions prepared beforehand" than to an

AS his own personal view. MI. Ian
sing said that japan would probably
nave signed the treaty without the
ShantunS provision; that the United
states should ask no part of the Ger
man reparation; that the Kaiser could
not be legally tried, and that the mu-
tual guarantee of territorial integrity
from external aggression as contained d
In Article y. of the league covenant
imposed moral obligation. but not a
Legal one.
American Draft Not Pressed.
The secretary said IL was true that
the fourteen points had not been dis
cussed, TO his knowledge. in the pre-
paratory STAGES OF the peace neCotia-
t!ons: that the American draft Of the
league OF nations never was pressed"
before the conference: that the Presi-
dent had asked the peace conference
not TO lay before the French Senate
the record OF the discussions OF the
league. and that the United States did
not know OF secret treaties between the
allies and Japan regarding ShantunE
when this country by the LansinE-Ishii
agreement. recognized Japan's Special
interests in China
IT was not true. Secretary Lansing
said. that he and other members of
the American delegation protested
against the Shantung settlement: that
Great Britain refused to permit discus

peace conference. or that any of the
American expert advisers had resigned
