pariey depending upon the course
she chooses.
The shantung question. which has
proved 10 be probably the most diff

meeting. was partly blocking a
speedy conclusion OF the conference.
This problem holds a pivotal posi-
ton: upon Il TO a degree rests the
success or failure OF the great con-
ference.
A compromise plan which would
completely and finally settle this
question between Japan and China
has been prepared and submitted TO
the two countries. and the powers
today were waiting for China's ac-
ceptanoe or rejection. Japan is said
to have indicated a willingness to
accept
whether pressure Is being exertet
or not. It is certain that the infiu-
ence OF the American and British
governments. which extended their
good Offices" in the Shantung
question some time ago. Is being
used TO have China accept the COM
promise.
