situated in Manchuria, which is an im-
portant part OF Chinese territory. Not
only does the national safety or China
rely upon the safeguarding OF Man
churia as an integral portion of the

Manchuria, have been the historic road
of invasion into China throughout past
centuries, but also the security OF the

THE committee further discussed the
question of leased territories in China
DR.. Koo made the following statement
"'At the meeting OF the committee
on Pacific and Far Eastern questions
! on December 3 Mr.. Hanihara read
statement outlining the position of
Japan with reference to the leased ter
L
peninsula namely Port Arthur Ind
Dalny. The Chinese delegation desires
to offer a few observations on the
statement in the hope that the position
of China on this question may be equal
ly well understood. The declaration
that japan succeeded Germany in the
leasehold of Kiaochow under the treaty
Of Versailles Is obviously one unilateraI
In character to which China not being
ing party to that treaty, cannot be ex-
pected to subscribe
1T Is, however. gratifying to note
the reference to the fact referred TO IN
the statement that Japan obained her
leased territories in China not directly
from her but from other Powers at
considerable sacrifice In men and treas
ure. because this assurance appears to
confirm the Views of the Chinese dele
cation that the maintenance of foreign
leased territories in China jeopardizes
the peace in the Far East. IL VIII be
recalled that Russia's possession OF
Port Arthur and Dalny and Germany's
possession of Kiaochow eventually
brought two wars on Chinese territory
and resulted In the installation of Japan
herself In these leased areas.
"As to the leased territory or
Kwantung province. namely, Port Ar
thur and Dalny. its original term will
expire in 1926, and while an extension
to ninety-nine years was obtained by
Japan in 1915 II was obtained In such
circumstances that the dispute about Its
validity remains one of the most grave
outstanding questions between China
and Japan.
