CHINESE REPLY TO JAPAN
 CONCERNING SHASTI-SG

Peking. Nov. 4 (By the A. P.).-In a 2.o00-word note the Chinese government has replied to the latest proposals of the Japanese government concerning the Shantung situation. It states that the Japanese proposals were not acceptable
 The Japanese memorandum to China Of Oct. 19, the note declares, shows an apparent misunderstanding and misinter- pretation of the text of the Chinese note of Oct. ,, thereby necessitating further statement by the Chinese government towering past facts and an unchanged viewpoint on the part of China"
 "The summary of the Japanese gov- ernment's proposed basis of settlement. |" the note continues. lis altogether too re- mote from the hopes and expectations of the Chinese government and people who therefore are obliged to await patiently an opportunity suitable to Japan for a reconsideration of her position.
 The Chinese memorandum of Oct 5 points out the difference in views be- tween China and Japan regarding the principles underlying the Japanese pro- posals and the contents and terms there of. If the Japanese government under stood these differences she would very surely have proposed a more substantial and more just project. which would un,- versally he recognized as fair. It is most regrettable, however. that the Japanese government has given no sign of conces- sions, while maintaining that China open ly is unwilling to proceed with negotia- tions.
 China was unable to sign the Yer sailles treaty owing to the Shantung ar- | ticles. hence it is impossible 10 compel her to recognize the effects arising from the treaty regarding Shantung Japau considers that the Kia-oChau leasehold was transferred 10 her by the operation | of the treaty. while China deems the | leasehold' to have expired through her declaration of war against Germany. II both countries insist on this difference in viewpoint. solution Of the problem would he rendered forever impossible 1 but since Japan is willing to restore ! Kiao-Chau completely to China. further necessity for Japans :nsistence on in. point in the dispute does not exist
 Regarding the German declaration concerning Shantung China, when in, l Chino-German commercial a:reemen was negotiated. insisted on her demand
 for the restoration of Kiao-Chau. bu
 Germany could only regret to China fha | Germans power for returning KIao-Cha-
 had been lost through a force mateure
 which explanation China simply acknow
 ledged. Hence it is a serious misunder
 standing for Japan to construe this incl
 dent as meaning China's recognition 0
