SHANTUNG MATTER
Will Consider Demand That
Ising.Tao be an Open Port
and Japan's Demand That
Vested Interests be Respect
ed; China Already Willing
to Have Port Open to World.

l. Washington, Dec. 1.-The Chinese
farms conference delegation in direct
negotiations in the Shantung ques-
ton inaugurated today will according
to Chinese spokesmen proceed on,
the basis that there are only two,
points on which China is prepared
to negotiate and that is Japan's de-
mand that Tsing-Tao be declared an
open port and Japans demand that
vested interests be respected. The
latter would be only partially sus-
ceptible to negotiations.
China it was said cannot negotiate
control of the Using Tao Tsi Nan Flu
railroad and has not receded from
her position taken at Versailles that
Shantung be conditionally returned
by Japan.
The Chinese delegation is UNDER
stood to have sifted the Japanese con-
ditions outlined in the recent ex-
change of notes between Toxic and
PekinS to find a basis for the nego-
tiations which would give China
what the Chinese people consider un-
divided control of the railroad which
Japan took over from Germany as
result of the world war.
The question of opening Using Tao
Tor the commerce of all nations on
equal terms it was asserted in Chi
nese circles has already been agreed
upon.
