ABROCATION Of

ASKED BY CHINA
New Element Is Brought
Into Shantung Negotia-
tions, Which Are Already
at a Delicate Stage.

Washington, Dec. 14.-With the
Shantung negotiations already at
delicate stage. Chinese delegates
brought q new element Of contro-
yersy into the Far Eastern nego-
tiations today by asking that the
treaties resulting from the famous
twenty-one demands be abrogated.
The Japanese Immediately OBJ
jected to consideration Of the sub
ject and the Far Eastern commit
tee adjourned. Before another
meeting is held all national dele
cations will prepare to give an
opinion on whether the Chinese
proposal can properly be taken up
under the conference agenda.
Meantime all delegation spokes-
men except the Chinese are declin-
ing to discuss the subject.
In the view of the Chinese rep
resentatives the subject actually is
before the conference and must be
discussed and disposed of.
Further complicating the nego-
tiations, China also asked the pow
ers to make a definite declaration
abolishing all the claims to
Spheres of influence" which have
been made under several treaties
with China.
Meantime some of the collateral
issues of the Shantung negotiations
were advanced. but the principal
problem involved in japanese
withdrawal from tho Tsing-Tao-Ts,-
nan railroad remained as much n
stumbling block as ever. Japanese
delegates offered, according to the
of the Chinese del
egatcs, to relinquish the Japanese
claim over the railway on the ba-
sis of financial compensation sub
ject to approval of Toxic.
Coupled with this, however. a
Chinese delegate said the japanese
insisted Japan would prove to re-
tain financial interest. This lat
ter proposal, the Chinese replied,
they were unable to accept.

Mr. Wood suggested in ef-

PACT PRESENTED IN
BRITISH PARLIAMENT

London, Dec. IA (by the Associ-

Neither the commons nor the
dali eireann, however, has yet
come to grips on the actual deei-
sion respecting ratification, which
has been postponed until tomor-

The tone of his speech was one
of unrelenting hostility to a set

Premier Lloyd Georges speech
in the commons was less of an ora
torical display in defense of the
treaty. than careful exposition OF
the agreement and its implications,
