CH|NkS ARE LEARY
OF JAP PLANS FOR
SHANTUNG AREAS.
Have Always Lost When
They Dickered With
Yellow Friends

Peking, July5-The Chinese peo-
pie regard with suspicion Japan's
suggestion that China and Japan en-
ter into negotiations regarding the
Shantung question, realizing that in
the pasJ Chine always has lost either
territory or prestige as the result of
negotiations over international con-
itroversies; and they further believe
that in this instance there is no oc-
.casion for negotiations, according to
DR.. W. W. Yen, China's minister of
Foreign Relations in a statement
made to the Associated Press.
"If Japan intends to restore the
German leased territory in Chanting
and the inalienable rights and privi-
leges formerly enjoyed by Germany,
without conditions, Japan should
announce that fact to the world in
Iunequivocal terms," he said. "If she
proposes to make conditions for such
restitution she should likewise frank
ly announce those terms for all ma
tions to pronounce judgment upon
them.
Furthermore, China does not
wish to jeopardize her right to carry
the Shantung question to the League
of Nations by entering into direct ne
gotiations. China does not propose
to permit Japan to cite such nego-
tiations in support of possible oppo-
sition to submission of the question
to that body.
"China would also be lacking IN !

which have interested themselves in
the Shantung settlement should she
