SHANTUNG RETURN SETTLED
Only Details of Phraseology of Treaty
Remain as Conference Problem.
Washington, D. C. —An agreement
on all the principles involved in the
plan for return of Shantung province
to China was reached Monday night
by the Japanese and Chinese arms
delegations.
After the two groups had been in
conference for nearly seven hours,
wrestling with the final problem of
restoring the Tsingtao-Tsinanfu rail
road to Chinese control, word came
from the committee room that only
details of phraseology of the proposed
treaty remained in the way of a com
plete agreement.
The basis of the settlement was un
derstood to have been the plan sup
ported by President Harding provid
ing that China pay for the road in
treasury notes and that Japanese ex
perts be retained in the operating per
sonnel during the period of payment.
It was announced, however, that in
order to work out the remaining de-
tails, the two delegations would meet
again.
In their discussion Monday, the Jap
anese and Chinese centered their at
tention on the key problem of Tsing-
tao-Tsinanfu railway, with which the
“good offices” of President Harding,
Secretary Hughes and Arthur J. Bal
four had concerned themselves. The
proposal given approval in substance
provided that China pay for the rail
road in 15-year treasury notes, with a
five-year option, and that Japanese
experts be retained during the pay
ment period in some departments of
road administration, but under a Chi
nese superior official.
It is the expectation of the confer
ence officials that the plenary session
called for Wednesday morning will be
followed by another that afternoon in
order to bring up to date the formal
ratification of various decisions reach
ed in the armament and far eastern
committees. A dozen of the resolu
tions relating to China have received
committee approval only and the Root
submarine declaration also awaits the
official sanction of the conference
proper.
With the naval treaty and Shantung
definitely out of the way, only a few
collateral issues will stand in the way
of a final adjournment of the confer
ence. None of these promise to take
long and some of the delegates believe
they may be on their way home by
the end of the week.
