Japanese Find shantung Improbable
And seek To Trade II For Adj

Japan out Of Manehurla

'h'na will get out Of Washington con.
ference was made Sunday 10y mem
her of the American stnto department
who is thoroughly familiar with far
eastern conditions and with inside ne.
gotlatlons at this conference. These
things are:
1. Complete restitution OF Shantung,
providing Japan's rights in Manchurla
are recognized.
?. Restitution OF the British lease
hold at wei-Hel-we the French lease
at Kwangchouwan.
3. Increase OF tariff rates
4. Removal OF foreign postofflces.
3. Conditional removal OF foreign
troops.
Q. Commission TO study withdrawn
OF extraterrltorlal rights.
Z. ReaffirmatIon of the territorial
and administrative integrity of China.
With new definition OF the "open
door" and u recognition OF what con.
stitutes China.
None Of these things has been done
yet except the last. but the conference
is moving toward some such consum.
nation.
China will not get Japan out OF Man
churia, nor will she get back the Brit
lsh strongholds In China. Nothing bur
force can remove these things. and
America has Informed China that she
cannot expect America to 90 TO war
for her or TO put herself In a position
where war is probable.
Without formally recognizing Jap
ans special interests" In Manchuria
and thus strengthening her hold there
permanently, II is evident that The A.
merIcan policy Is not to insist on the
American Interpretation OF the "open
door" In that part OF the world. To
INSIST upon II means war, and the
American delegates feel that the peo.
pie would not bnck them up In this.
To Insist upon II also would impern
the success NJ the conference.
The big thing that is belng done n
TO start China In the way OF helping
herself. II she wants to get rid OF ia
pan she will have TO do Il herself.
The question OF financial mid for
China has gone under the surface dur
Ing the week. The statement OF Mr.
Han'harn, japanese Delegate, in com
mlttee that the international consort-
lum had recognized Jnpan's rights in
Mnnchurla has not made the consorr-
ium any more popular with the Chin
ese. and his statement Is denied by
consortium authorities. A new con
sortlum viii have 10 be arranged n
Chinese cooperation is expected, and
without the Chinese the bankers can
Ito nothing.
Chinese today express Disappointment
over the trend OF affairs and talk again
Of Withdrawing from the conference.
They declare they will not recognize
Japan's Manchurinn lenses, and II f1ie
conference does they win walk out.
Japan Is making special drive for
this. and there Is danger that the dele
gates win maneuver into some state
ment OF position that will afterward he
intercepted by japan as the Lansing
Ishi note was Interpreted. II IL the
hope OF the American delegates that
through public opinion and the attl-
iude Of the nations Informally ex-
pressed. Japan may be led 10 change
nor tactics In the fnr east.
The Siberian situation has not come
MP yet and Mr. Hughes declaration OF
rhe duty Of the other nations to set up
a "moral trusteeshlp" over that conn
try remains TO be translated into some
hing definite.
Chinese and japanese Delegates vqll
meet Monday for further conversations
over the Shantung In the presence of
American and British observers. Jap
~ has found that occupation unproflt-
nhle and wants 10 get out. but ut the
same time wants TO make a bargsn
over withdrawal.
