DIRECT SETTLEMENT
PREFERRED BY JAPAN
Hanihara Admits Mediation
OUer Shantung May Occur.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 80 (Associated
Press).- If China doesn't reconsider her
Shantung position a settlement of that
problem would be very difficult, M. Hani-
hara, the Japanese Vice-Minister for
Foreign Affairs, said tonight
He admitted that Secretary Hughes
and Mr.. Balfour possibly might tender
their good offices with the aim or set
tling the problem, but he declared that
he preferred direct settlement be-
tween the representatives of Japan and
China.
II am still hopeful for such direct
settlement he added. I'VE have al
ready made more concessions In this mat.
ter than was proper In fact. we ex-
ceeded the instructions OF our home
Government. When it seemed difficult
longer to continue the conversations wo
submitted the whole matter to TOXIC.
Our Government rerled that 1t woul4
approve our program as far as we had
gone, DESPITE the fact that we had ex-
ceeded our instructions.
This means that the Japanese Cow
ernment consents to our abandoning the
original project for joint management
of the Observation-Disclosures Railway and
will agree to restoration of the entire
line to China provided some suitable
agreement can be made for loan By
Japanese capitalists and for the desig.

perts on the railroad. such, for instance,
as general traffic manager and chief

There seems little doubt in view OF
the French attitude to-day, following
Premier BRANDS declarations In the
Senate last night, that a European eco
nomic conference will be held as pro-
jected by the British Prime Minister.
AS explained by the British delega-
ton, this conference will not be govern
mental, but will be composed of leading
industrialsts and financiers Of every
European country and Of the United
States.
Also the point was stressed by the
British that the controlling factor is to
be the industrial, as distinguished from
the international, banker.
The French are TO examine the plan
more carefully tomorrow and 1t is re-
ported tonight that they have modifi-
cations in view, these notifications in

The meeting tomorrow will be the

Washington, ID. g., DecS 30.
Opponents of the four Power treaty
IN the Senate got hard bump to-day
when they learned that Senator Poin-
dexter (Wash.). who was reported to
have Joined their forces since the agree
ment was interpreted to include the
homeland of Japan. had sent a telegram
to Republican leaders, saying his posi-
tion had been misrepresented and he
expected to vote for the treaty when 1t
comes before the Senate for ratifca-
ton.
In his message Senator Poin1lexter
stated that he would insist on some
reservations to the treaty II II guar
anteed the territorial integrity of the
lnsular possessions OF Japan in the Pa
cihc, but. according to his interpreta-
ton, 1t does not provide such a guar
antee.
Reports reaching Washington are that
opposition to the treaty on the Pacific
coast Is not pronounced and that the
efforts of the irreconcilables to foster
their cause by appealing to the anti
Japanese sentiment is meeting with
little or no success.
senator McNary (Ore.). who has
been very active in his opposition to the
treaty, said he is not sure he will not vote
for 1t. as he expects 1t to come to the
Senate with reservations to meet his OBJ
jections
Reports that a survey shows twenty
seven Democratic Senators lined up
against the treaty were discredited to-
day by its supporters. Senator Fletcher
(Fla.), said he felt sure more than eight
Democrats would vote for IL. Personally
l am strongly inclined to support the
agreement" he said
When told that the friends of the
treaty were figuring on Senator Under
wood keeping in line fourteen members
Of the minority party in support OF the
treaty Senator Fletcher replied II be-
lieve that Is a very conservative esti-
mate"
Apparently. the irreconcilables have
given up all hope of killing the treaty.
To-day some Of them indicated that the
most they could expect would be tho
adoption OF reservations.
