ing Japan's offer to open negotia-
tons relative to the future status
of Shantung has been received at
the foreign office here. 1t says
China is ready to supply guards for
the railroad to displace japanese
engaged in that service, and de-
clares that country considers the
railroad a separate question from
that of the province.
Japanese officials point out the
withdrawal of Japanese guards was
offered conditional upon China
opening general negotiations. 1t is
considered the reply is a refusal
of the Japanese offer. and therefore
it is probable the Status quo will
continue.
