no dissolution. There have been points
on which we have not always agreed
as to procedure, but we have confer
red together always with the view of
harmonizing them, and this we have
DONE"
He said the designations through
dissatisfaction with the program
made must not be confused with pos
sible departures of Chinese officials
through the need of cutting down the
size of the delegation because Of in
sufficient funds.
In other Chinese sources, however,
it was insisted Admiral Tsaio Chow
and General Huang Flu, superior ad-
visers, had resigned through displeas
ure with the manner in which the
Shantung controversy was being
treated.
Discusses other Leases
At the meeting of the Far Eastern
committee today, Dr. Wellington Koo
for China, made a statement concern
ing Manchuria and other leased ter
ritories in China in response to the
Japanese position, taken at the meet
ing last week, that it would not at
this time" withdraw from that prov
ince.
There was said to have been con-
siderable further discussion of leased
territories in China, but no final
agreement was reached, the Chinese
and Japanese delegates explaining
their separate negotiations on Shan
tung were somewhat involved in the
conference question of leased territor-
les and therefore it was considered
advisabl first to make further head
way with the Shantung negotiations.
DR.. Koo, in his presentation of Chi
mas case, regarding Manchuria, did
not accept the Japanese view of Jap
ans right to remain in Port Arthur
and Dalney, nor the British view con-
corning that nations occupation of
Kowloon, on the mainland opposite
Hongkong.
Replying to the Japanese statement
that assurance was given by the
American, British and French govern
ments at the time of the formation of
the international consortium that the
vital interests of Japan in Manchuria
be safeguarded," DR.. Koo said that his
delegation, because China had not
been consulted, was not in p position
to express an opinion on the ''ques-
ton of the accuracy" of this state
ment
U. S. Position Unchanged
DR.. Koo's reference to the Japan
csc Interpretation of the consortium
and American assurance regarding
Manchuria brought from Secretary
Hughes the statement that the posi-
ton of the United States, when the
consortium was arranged, was set
forth in the correspondence made pub
lie several months ago and that it
spoke for itself This stated that the
consortium should not be used to the
detriment of any single nations inter
ests in China.
The question of foreign troops in
China again came up for considera-
ton at meeting of the subcimmit-
tee on draft. Statements were pre-
scented by the Japanese and Chinese
delegates and further consideration
went over until tomorrow.
When the Japanese and Chinese
delegations met late today to con-
tinue their Conversations looking to
a settlement of the Shantung contro-
versy, Hanihara, for Japan, agreed
that all public properties in the for
mer German lease hold would be
transferred to China, subject to the
rounding by China of all moneys
spent by Japan under Japanese ten
ure.
China's refusal to pay Japan for the
properties developed under the Ger
man regime must however ha rafarr
ed to Toxic. The Japanese delega-
ton accepted the Chinese refusal, it
was said, after China agreed as to the
reminding for expenditures of i'm
provements made bp Japan.
