TOKlfi. Tuesday. Auk. -1- I By the
Associated PreM.) Keetitutton to China
by Japan of those parts of Shantung
province, including- Kiao-Chau. now oc-
rupled by Japanese forces, will be made
with. nt nnnecessarr delay, but the
time rejUad will be dependent upon
ti attitude of China, laid Takashl
Mara. Japanese premier, today in an
answer to a question as to whether
arltial restoration would take place.
The premier in answering- the query of
the Associated Tress made the follow
ing statement:
-My collrague. Viscount Uchida. min
uter of foreign affairs, made a state
ment on Aua-ust I in explanation of
ir policy respecting the Shantung
niiealion. That statement represents
the considered opinion of Ihia govern
ment, and I have little to-add in deal
in with the same subject. (Viscount
Lrhirla in his statement, which was
rfrred to hy the premier, said that
Japan was willing to restore Shantung
to China and would enter into negotia
tion with the Pekin government as
soon as possible after the Versatile
treaty should be ratified by Japan.)
ResHtmtiaa to J.p . Interest.
"The question is often asked as to
when Japan will return Kiao-Chau to
China. 1 would point out in reply that
for the restitution of Kiao-Chau. oe
tailed arrangement should be worked
out Iwforehand in common accord be
tween the Japanese and Chinese gov
ernmcnia and that the length of time
reouired for such arrangements de
nrn.is largelT unon the attitude of
chin. In any case, we fully realize
that it is as much in our own interests
as in the interests of China to accel
crate the conclusion of ail needed ar
rangements and to effect without delay
the restitution of leased territory wnicn
e have solemntv undertaken.
Premier Hara and high officials of
the JaDanese government discussed
with the correspondent what was called
the "wave of anti-Japanese feeding
America. They were disturbed by re
ports showing uneasiness a to Japan's
attitude relative to Shantung, but left
Japan's repeated assurances as to res
titution with the premier's statement
to the Associated Press today should
prevent any deplorable misunderstand
ing. .
Mllltarians Held Bepolble.
It la admitted here that Japan's so
railed militarism is responsible for
much uneasiness abroad. The opinion
is expressed that foreign critics who
call Japan "the Germany of the far
east" neglect to take into considera
tion the Internal and historic relations
which lead the Japanese people to ven
erate the army and navy.
letter from the president, made public
today.
The president said he would have a
stenographer present in order that the
committee might have "a full and
trustworthy record of what is said,
and suggested that the committee also
have a stenographer present. It was
understood that the official transcript
would be made public.
The president's letter to Senator
Lodge said:
"I have received your letter of yes
terday and In reply hasten to express
the hope that the senate commute on
foreign relations will give ms the
p'.easure of seeing them at the White
House on Tuesday morning next, the
13th. at 10 o clock
"I also welcome the suggestion of
the committee that nothing said at the
conference shall be 'regarded as confi
dential. In order that the committee
may have a full and trustworthy record
of what Is said. I shall have a ste
nographer present, and take the liberty
of suggesting that If you wish to bring
one of the committee's stenographers
with you. It would be entirely agree
able to me. The presence of the two
stenographers would lighten the work
"It will be most agreeable to me to
have an opportunity to tell the com
mittee anything that may be service
able to them in their consideration of
the treaty.'
The meeting will take place In the
blue room of the White House and it
was expected that the stenographic re
ports of the conversations would be
taken in relays so that transcription
might be had for the press every few
minutes.
Seore of Republican la Line.
More than 20 republican senators are
ready to stand for quick ratification
of the peace treaty with reservations.
Democratic leaders in the senate were
informed today by leaders of the re
publican group of reservations advo
cates. Republicans favoring reservations
said a poll disclosed that upwards of
30 senators of their party would sup
port reservations along the general
lines laid down by the seven republic
ans if the treaty could be brought
promptly out of committee and ratified
on that basis.

hs declared American railroads had
been kept in a bread line before the
door of the- interstate commerce com
mission since 1910 dnd that relief by
the commission had been denied or
grudgingly dealt out because certain
roads in each region were thought to
be affluent.
It was to meet this situation, he told
the committee, that the. Warfield plan
would direct the commission to fix
rates so that the roads could earn
minimum guaranteed return of 6 per
cent upon capital invested, with divi
sion of all surplus over that figure
among employes, the public and the
earning road.
The fundamental proposal of the
Warfield plan." Mr. Johnston declared,
"is that this continual basis of warfare
between the shipper and the railroads
must be removed by regulation of ex
cess earnings which will relieve ship
ping organizations of their apprehen
sion and the commission of the odium
which would be visited upon it if afflu
