Plage Efpht The Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon China and Germany Id Agreement Berlin Government Not To Object If Pek- m laKes Advantage of Treaty Rights Berlin, Aug. 8. Germany's re fuaat to subscribe again to the Versailles treaty in its negotia tiODS with the Chinese government has led to the completion of an agreement between the two gov ernment8 which ! designed to re establish commercial relatione pending the drafting of a perma nent pact. China's request that Germany reiterate its adherence to the Ver sailles treaty was regarded by many here as somewhat remark able, Inasmuch as the I'eklnp gov ernment refused to sign the tieaty because of the Shantung provle Ions. It became known whet the documents leading to the (.'hirio German agreement were laid be foi'e the reichstag that Germany had refused to comply with Chi na's request for a re-affirmatlon of Germany's adherence to the Ver sailles treaty because Germany took the stand that such action might prejudice her position In case of a revision of the treaty. In advising China of the un willingness of Germany again to formally acknowledge the Yernr-r-lea treaty, Foreign Minister Si mons wrote: "In agreement with the Instructions of my government I have the honor to declare to you again that the German govern ment cannot acknowledge :he Ver sailles treaty In general ternu again, for such a step would be synonymous with the ne!Mmposed acceptance of the treaty by Ger many and would prejudice Its later revision. But Germany will innl.o no objections If China avails It self of articles 128 to l.K of the treaty, also of certain other rights of the treaty, which are of Im portance for China, In the present form or In an altered form, In rase revision takes place.'" The articles mentioned. I2S lo 1S4, refer especially to China and provide that (lormany shall sur render all concessions and spirlal rights which It formerly enjoyed In China.
