History of the Shantung
Question.
, Tn view of the present controversy
, over Shantung, it is well to rct the
facta straight.
(icrmnny ariiulrcd the Shantung
peninnuja, including many business
fi'iinchiHcs as well as political control,
in JH!IH, extorting these valuable con
cessions as a penalty for the k i Dinar of
some (lerman missionaries by a Chi
nese mob. China, undt, vompulsion,
signed a document leasing the penin
auta to Germany for Ml years. Subse
quently, Germany formally declared a
' protectorate" over Shantung, built
the great stronghold of Kiauchow and
the harbor adjoining it and proceeded
to develop mines, railways and other
properties.
Japan, entering the war in lilM,
announced that her chief purpose was.
to rijfht this' wrontr by nuntiug; tlij
tiermann anu rcauirinir tne province
to China. She reMiated that uunounce
nient in III IB. Hut in 11117, before the
United HtutcB entered the war, Japan
obtained a written iiKicemenl from
Great Britain and France permitting
Japan to retain the rifhts and priv
Hckcs she had wrested from Germany.
The Chinese government sinned a
treaty with Japan n-rrrelnit to this,
and later declared that she had been
coerced.
