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.
