porta1t question Of the railroad could
come up tomorrow.
If the railroad question was not set
tied satisfactorily to the Chinese, DR..
Koo said, then the agreements thus
would collapse, and further discussion
of other points still in dispute would
be Of no avail.
A proposal by the japanese that
China compensate Japan for the de-
velopment of the leasehold under the
German regime was rejected by the
Chinese delegates, and the proposal
was withdrawn by the Japanese, sub
ject to approval by the Toxic govern
ment.
The agreement reached has not yet
been reduced to writing but that Is
expected Immediately, and the subject
of public properties is considered as
concluded" a Chinese delegate said
tonight.
Before the final meeting OF the day
was adjourned the Chinese obtained
fro mthe Japanese an agreement that
consideration of railroad control and
ownership in the leasel1old, would be
taken up at a resumption Of the con-
Hersations tomorrow.
Although discussion on opening the
port Of Using Tao to the commerce
Of the world on equal terms was be-
gun late today, this subject will be laid
aside to permit bringing up the rail-
road question.
If there is a failure to agree to re-
store to China complete control over
the railroad, a Chinese delegate said,
all of the agreements thus far reached
in settlement of the Shantung contro-
versy will of necessity collapse.
