In reply to t a statement made on

i WASHINGTON, June) 27 An
nouncement by the Chinese peace
delegation' in Paris today that China
would not siga the peace treaty is n
jme with the Instructions sent the
delegation several 'weeks ago by the
Chinese government., These instruc
nous were to refuse tq sign the
treatty nnle3s some reservation was
permitted as to Japans' sovereignty
over the Shantujg peninsula, ac
quired by: Germany from China un
der the treaty of 1897. ,
These instructions, it was learned
today, have never been changed and
accordingly the announcement of the
Chinese delegation was jot surpris
ing to officials here. Until very re
cently, however, it was considered
here as1 passible that China might
sign the treaty in view of . private
assurances said to . have been given
her1 representatives that Japan s ten
ure of Shantung would not be loag
China, it also had been believed
probably would assent to the treaty
and leave the Shantung question to
be worked out by the league of na
tions. 5 - ' .
' I Position Summarized.
The Chinese decision was believed
here to be; based on the following
First, that the delegation was un
able to obtain ."definitely; expressed
assn ranees that Japan would give
up the Shantung province within,. a
short sp'iified time, and that th
Japanese Tenure would not be per
mitted to run for the remainder of
the I ninety-nine-year period under
which Germany held the; territory,
and, ' -: '. , If .' .
Second, that definite : assurances
were lacking that.Japa,n would re
linquish control of the railroad from
Tsing Tao to Tsin Aufu, including all
facilities and mining rights and priv
leges of explotations; of the Tsing
. Tao-Shanghai-Chefbo cables, and of
facilities at the port of Kiao-Chau.
Fallnre of China to sign the treaty
officials explained,! probably will ex
clude her from the league of nations
Including certain right sof redress
under that covenant as well as work
to her detriment ia the rsumption of
trade.' ' , " V M "

'The peace treaty and the league of
nations covenant should be ratified
without amendment, acording to the
presidential view as it is understood
for certain definite reasons, name
ly, that if any one power seeks to
make amendments then the war will
not be over until everyone of the 21
associated nations learns the result
of the amendments. This can only
be done through' processes of nego-
tlons and It is held that it would be
a hopeless process of delay in restor
ing peace. It Is also held that the ef
fect of the amendments would keep
the United States out of the treaty
and out of the league. .
The question has arisen whether
reservations amount to amount to
amendment, and presidential quart
ers are understood to hold that res
ervations such as the Root reserva
tion' to article ten of the covenant.
are equivalent to amendment.
Feeling Strong A sain- Fall
Feeling 1 said to be 'particularly
strong in presidential quarters
against the resolution, oi Senator Fall
ol New Mexico, to. declare a state of
peace with. Germany, which Is char
acterized in these responsible quar
ters as having the effect of aUyin
the United States with Germany and
placing the country in a position of
contempt that no nation ever suf
fered.
It is the president's belief, accord
ing to reliable sources, that not
more than a handful of people in
America mill approve such a resolu
tion.
Tb length of the peace conferenc
Ii regarded. It is said, as beneficial
on th whole, as the long discussion
brought about a fuller understanding
among nations. There is special
pride in the fact that tbo views of
American experts usuallp- prevailed
probably because the United State
had no seiftah interests involved in
the difficulties settled. It Is also
