THE SHANTUNG PROBLEM.
CHINESE MINISTER’S STATEMENT, By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Pekin, June 22. The Foreign Minister (Yen) has issued a statement that China believes there is no occasion for opening negotiations with Japan relative to the restoration of Shantung, and regards suspiciously Japan’s suggestions. If Japan intends unconditionally to restore the German leased territory at Shantung she should announce that fact to the world unequivocally. If she. proposes to make conditions in regard to such restitution she should frankly announce them for all nations to pronounce judgment. China does not wish to jeopardise her right to carry the Shantung question to the League of Nations by directly negotiating. The internationalisation of Tsingtau would meet with China’s approval.
