that Japan has taken it over from her
at the sacrifice of lives and treasure.
In spite of that Japan intends to work
1t as joint enterprise with China on the
basis OF utmost Partially.
SHANTUNG RAILWAY
DISCUSSED.
Further, it was September, 1918, date
long after the Chinese declaration of
war against Germany, that it was ar
ranged between China and japan to OPP
crate the Shantung Railway, as their
joint enterprise. The japanese govern
ment are, therefore, unable to un lerstand
the Chinese contention in this respect,
impugning the japanese claim as being
an act which violates Chinese sovereignty.
1T Is also to be observed that the rep
aration commission, after having duly
appraised the value OF the ShantuBg Rail-
way, together with appertaining mines,
placed it TO the credit account OF Ger
many with a view to setting 1t off
against the indemnity to be paid by
that power. 1t, therefore, is inadmissable
that Ching should claim to retain one
half of such railway properties in her
hands without conditions.
"As regards the Japanese proposal rela-
tive to public property Of Germany, the
japanese, while ready in principle to
restore teh so-called administrative pub
lie property to China. has no intention
whatever of retaining all other public
property in her bands, her wish being to
make, in the interest not only OF the
people Of China and Japanese but also
of the foreign population in general,
satisfactory arrangement with China
looking to impartial disposition OF such
property. The Chinese claim to hold it
entirely in Chinese hands is one which
can hardly be justified in the nature Of
the case.
Moreover, the japanese government
but confesses that 1t is unable to com
prehend the Chinese assertion that the
Japanese project is entirely at variance
with the principles underlying all trea-
ties between China and foreign powers.
The Japanese government, however. Is
happy to declare hereby that whenever
the Chinese government, in full appre-
citation Of the main purpose Of the ia
panese proposal and upon giving more
deliberate consideration to the question
now at issue, and in the interest Of cor
dial relations between China and Japan,
shall express its willingness to open ne
gotiations. Japan will be found ready to
embark upon such negotiations" Copy
