SHANTUNG, THE PROBLEM OF THE FAR EAST, Of all the problems with which the | Allfes wrestled at the Peace Confer- ence it is probable that not one gave them so much concern and proved so difficult of settlement as the Shan- tung problem. There was a dead- lock over Fiume, but the problem of the Dalmatian coast has never ap- ment as did Shantung from the first day it was broached at the confer- ence table. Since that time. politi- clans for their own purposes have not ceased to do everything in their po- wer to cloud the issue and to make it appear as a Sphinx-like ffddie which only an appeal to arms chuld finally settle. Yet the Shantung (problem is really a very simple one. In 1898 Germany in a most high-handed man-' ner, giving as her excuse the murder of two German missionaries, demand- ed valuable concessions in the Shan- tung peninsula, including a lease of the port of Kiao Chau. An arrange: ment was then entered into which was approved by the United States and Britain, and for the sixteen years that Germany rempined in 'possession of the port ahd the concessions not a word was ever breathed about the in- justice of the foreign trespassers. On August 15, 1014, Japan, after consultation with her ally, Britain, gent an ultimatum' to Germany de- "manding that all German men-of-war withdraw immediately from Chinese 15th Ger- Editor and , although | Why were Kingston They are quite right in de- | and urban | A re- lemanded Ja ES landed at Kia ember 16th, the Ge 1 1 Surre | ered and the or closed for | long time the book of their hi in Chima It should not he rotten that at his time China means wosed toward } n Ger- officers had Germany money to come, if not for ever, was y n influence i il 1917 the average ( aman firmly believed that Germany would win the war, ly want- ed to be on the winr side.

Japan has freely lent their civil war and now she wants as security for her loan the security of til this is assured she retains her this port and these concessions al- though pressed to do so by the Unit- ed States, but it is unfair to assume that Japan means to disregard her promige. Japan is working openly for a Monroe doctrine in the Far East, a noa-interference by and European po- wer or by America. Concessions have been made to all the foreign powers, and Japan thinks it is time to call a halt. She holds Kiao Chau today by right of conquest and with the appro- val of her ally, Britain, and she vir tually says in effect: If all nations will abandon their concessions and clear out of Asia. Kiao Chau will be restored to China. And this position is at least a logical one. Donovan Runs 098 Behind. Brockville.
