It seems unlikely that the Chinese will sign the treatv of peace unless China is given writ ten assurance bv the council of three that Japan will return Kiuo Chau to China. - The Chinese delegates sny the clause in the treatv contains no such provision, their own bnsis for believing Hint such u restitution will be made being n verbal agreement. Without n definite written promise from the council of three, tbev believe it imposlsble to gain permission from the Chinese cabinet for the signature of the treutv. - - : Without- such .written promise .the Chinese delegates hold their position to be worse than under -the Jnpanese treaties which specifically pledge the return of Kino Chau. The Chinese contention is being watched with much interest because it raises Question as to the actual stutus of manv verbal agreements in the con ferences of the council of three which nre not known to be definite in the written proceedings. .v.. j TRANSPORT- 303.178 TROOPS M S.
