JAPAN FIRM ON
SHANTUNG PLAN
Will Refuse to Allow Matter
Discussed at Armament
Conference.

TOXIC, Sept 17.--Distinct disappoint-
ment followed publication Of the news
here that China has decided to refuse
Japan's offer to settle the Shantung re-
turn question by direct negotiation.
The news, however, caused no change
In the firm determination of Japan to
exclude the issue from the conference on
Far Eastern affairs to be held in Wash
ington prior to the disarmament meeting
called by President Harding.
1t is learned that China is equally de-
termined that the Shantung matter win
be made an issue at the Washington con-
ference.
Speaking informally on this point and
on the reported rejection by China of
the Japanese offer. Mr. Hoo, Chinese min
lister to Toxic, said
China is a republic. Therefore the
Chinese government must follow the de-
sires Of her people who demand the
presentation of the Shantung matter be-
fore the Washington conference"

Sept. IL
Business today was on moderate
scale.
There was lack of incentive. There
was nothing very striking in the over
night news, which was largely OF rou-
tine character, though the news from
Washington In reference to the agree
ment as to the new tax bill and the re
ports of commercial agancies were in
harmony with the views more recently
entertained in stock exchange circles,
where the opinion is growing that better
things are ahead of us. But, so far
as general sentiment is concerned. there
is stiu noticeable lack Of confidence
through the country, which was en-
phasized by an exeeedly pessimistic
editorial in one Of our leading Journals.
1t is just suth opposition that will make
the attainment of the ultimate object
more difficult because sentiment after
all is one of the essential fundamentals
and business makes best progress 1t
when entertains a cheerful view.
Omitting from the consideration at the
moment the active operations that have
been conducted recently and considering
only reasonable probabilities does 1t
seem likely that improvement once
started will progress and thus solidify
the foundation for rising stock market
and it seems to us that the buyer of
securities during reactiOnary periods
will have all the advantage.
