1t was pointed out that the lease Of
Kiao Chau Bay includes the shore to
the high water line, including the is

salt fields in the hands of private ia
panese. The same applies to the en-
tenSfve former German fiscal lands
and buildings acquired under treaty,
the former at their value as agricul-
tural lands. now. greatly enhanced.
The agricultural industry amounts to
little, it was stated, but the loss of
the salt industry will be serious.
The proposal regarding the railway
from Kiao Chau to Tsin Nan brought
forth the objection from observers
that it does not give China the right
to redeem the railways, but that JOINT
ownership by China and Japan in pet
uity is suggested inferentially. The
proposal concerning the Using Tao
customs being regarded as part of the
Chinese customs is regarded as am
biguous, since under the Germans II
was provided that the customs staff
should be German and that the Ger
man language might be used in CORE
spondence.
THE same manner as under the
German regime" in the opinion of the
Chinese, suggests the possible su1sti-
tuition of Japanese staff. 1t is stat
ed that joint management of public
utilities. as mentioned in the Japan
ese communication, includes dock,
piers and roads. The Chinese con-
slider that other nations might have
a reasonable fear of preferents>i
treatment toward Japan in the matter
of berthing ships, apportioning docks
and the use of approaches.
Chambers of commerce and guilds
of student bodies are bombarding the
government with protests against ac-
ceptance of the proposals.

BAVAR!AN PLOT
Chauvinist Secret Societies
Are Directly Accused of
Murder by Chancellor
URGES PROMPT ACTION
Former Army Officers, Who
Took Part in Revolt in
Germany, Evade Capture

BERLIN, Sept. Is. - Suspicion that
the assassination of Matthias Erzber.
ger was plotted in Bavaria by Chau-
whist secret societies, which trans
ferred their heaquarters there to be
less liable to interference, was con-
firmed today by statement of Chan
cellor Wirth before the reichstag Wig
ilance committee.
He was answering a question whetn-
er 1t was true that signs pointed to
completely in the murder of Erzber-
ger by the notorious brigand Captain
Ehrhardt, the moving spirits Of which
are located at Rosenheim near Mu-
Mich.
Dr. Wirth read report from State
Commissioner Weisman, showing all
attempts since the Kapp revolution TO
arrest Col Bauer, Major Pabst and
Captain Ehrhardt had failed, although
it had been discovered they were re-
siding near Munich in an entrenched
position under a strong guard. The
report added that it was virtually I'M
possible to penetrate. their hiding
place, as any one approaching was
fired upon.
Chancellor Wirth added that the sit
uation could not be improved in Ba-
varia by postponing action, the aim
and object of his policy was to OBJ
tain speedy removal of the state Of
siege in Bavaria.
The Independent Socialist, Herr
Dittman, scored the Bavarian Police
Chiaf Poehner for alleged connivance
in sheltering the murder gang"
The Nationalist deputy, DR.. Hergc,
retorted that the charges against
Ehrhardt and his men had not been
proven. DR.. Wirth rejoined that ,ne
Rightist incitement of the last two
years to violence against the present
regime had grown intolerable and
that the German uniform had been
misused for nefarious purposes.
The chancellor declared that he was
unable to accept the standpoint of
the Bavarian government. that the
question of a state of emergency
should be shelved until a new minis
try was formed.
