21 DEMANDS PERIL TONEGOTIATIONS Japanese Will Not Discuss Terms for Purpose of Testing Validity. BROUGHT UP BY CHMNESE Tokio : Delegates Repudiate Sug- gestion That Silence Has Been at Thgir Request. BY JUNIUS B. WOOD. “If China is bringing up the twen- ty-one demands before this confer- ence for the purpose of testing their validity or for the purpose of modi- fying by this eonference the subse- quent treaties entered into under those demands,. the Japanese dele- Eates cannot consent to discuss the tter in that sense” was the sub- ance of the declaration which sud- denly brought yesterday's session of the committee on far eastern prob- lems to a sine die adjournment. The communique issued later gave no hint that the subject which has been ready to explode since the conference started had been ineeting. The Chinese suggested the xilence was at the request of the Japanese delegation. The Japanese indignantly repudiated the sugges- tion. Brought Up by Delegate. The twenty-one demands were brought up by Wang Chung Hui. chief justice of the Chinese supreme court ‘and the only Chinese delegate who expects to live in China again. It followed a brief mention of spheres o influence and was not in the form of a prepared statement. Masanao Hanihara replied for the Japanese delegation, stating the position of an on the twenty-one demands 1 promising a more detailed reply -holarly presentation of China’s e. It will be the curtain raiser for the next session of the committee and the discussion of the feature of the Versailles treaty which kept the ited States out of the league of ions will be fairly started. Japan's spheres of influence in Man- churia and inner Mongolia are em- odied in seven of the twenty-one de- mands presented January 18, 1915. They were accepted on May 8, after Japan presented a fifty-one-hour ulti- matum. Among the treaties which followed on May 25 was one extending the lease of the Liaotung peninsula to 19 the South Manchurian railroad 10 2002 and the Antung-Mukden road The Shantung treaty was signed on the same day. Negotiations Not Conflicting. The present negotiations between China and Japan over Shantung do not conflict with the determination of Japan not to discuss the validity of the twenty-one demands or modify the treaties under them at this confer- ence.

KNOXVILLE, Te Decem- ber 15.—For the second time in a year in his court Judge Von ! | A." Huflaker reprimanded a ] woman witness for what he l considered too liberal a display of silken howe.

Huftaker sald that his respect for the modesty of his mother | and that of other good women compelled him to act as he did, and that no woman could come into hix court and insult a man’s sense of modesty. “Short dresxes,” he said, “are no doubt to blame in lnrge measure for the lack of modesty prevailing at this time.” {Japan bases its present position on the latter treaty, and, according to ; diplomatic technique, very mystifying ilo the layman, now is discussing with !China Japan’s rights in Shantung un- der the Versailles treaty and not Ja- pan’s rights under the twenty-one de- mands, thereby standing pat on her { declaration not to discuss thé validity of the demands. Agreements Are Tentative, It has never been brought out that all | the agreements so far reached in twelv {days “of discussion between the It’oulurle:‘ are entirely tentative. | final agreement will be reached if the two countries fail to agree on any one 1of the separate questions. If the final agreement is reached it must be re- ferred to Tokio for approval, for already the Japanese delegates, impressed with the hopeful spirit of the conference, |have gone much further in granting | China’s demands than their instructions from Tokio authoriz For more than a week the discussion has been over the Tsingtao-Tsinan rail- road, by far the most important item in the Shantung situation. Japan se- cured the railroad when she captured Tsingtao from Germany in 1914, and in the Versailles treaty was established as its owner as if by purchase through the {indemnity. The Chinese proposal of 1918 s that it be operated as a joint enter- prise. Japan eventually assented to that and made the same proposal September 7 of this yvear. Basis of Discussion, Chinese suggested that the German valuation be taken. Japan insisted on adding what she had expended on ex- | tensions, Improvements and mainte- nance. China assented to that. China, desiring to dispense with joint owner- ship and operation, requested that she be permitted to purchase the entire road. Japan has not consented to that, but the present discussion is going for- ward on that basis. If it is concluded Iin terms satisfactor to the delegates, 1Tokio will be requested to authori: their acceptance, abandoning its pri vious insistence on joint ownershi} and operation. The Chinese delegates are hopeful { that they can immediately raise suf- ficient funds among their own bank- ers to purchase the property. As an alternative there is the consortium. The Japanese delegates want a loan agreement, similar to what other na- tions have in various Chinese rail- roads, for a definite term of years, during which time they will continue to have a certain interest in the road and be able to protect their com- merce. The size of this loan would be determined after a commission from both governments had appraised the railroad. (Copyright, 1921.) SPECIAL NOTICES.

Americans look in wonderment upon -he spectacle of a handful of Chinese students picketing their conference delegatiom, with the apparent result of the resignation of at least the sec- retary, if not also of three advisers. The incident becomes understandable only in the light of the unique place which students of western sciences have assumed within recent years not only in China, but also in the whole of Asia. This latest exhibition of the power! of Chinese students is one with other important changes that they have made in the government. Behind the few boys from American colleges who have gathered in Washington as men- tors of their national delegation stands the whole student body of China, elaborately organized and agitation. For years they have been busy about the task of nullifying Japanese designs upon China. They have overthrown cabinet ministers, ! and, in a public test of strength at Peking, have proved more powerful than the government. These are the “young China” who originated and maintained the boycott that has cost Japan uncounted millions of yen and,; incidentally, has created new Chinese enterprises to supply -the goods that had formerly come from Japan. Re- ports received here indicate that a tremendous student agitation, based, apparently upon misinformation, is abroad in China. The Washington (l;\‘(l;]lonmenls are but repercussions of thi: Itrulned to propaganda and political Students Go on Strike. Perhaps when the Asiatic :mdemsl become as engrossed ih athletics as are their American fellows they will not bother themselves about political matters. At present, however, the most demonstrative, and in many cases the most effective, forces in oriental lands is student opinion and activity. “Strikes” dents of the east have long been com- mon. The boys of Japan, China and Egypt, and of the lands between, are not ‘unaccustomed to going on strike against an unpopular professor. and many a teacher has thus lost his po- sition, even though the authorities were convinced of his ability. Every educator with experience in the orlent codld take the present Chinese dem- onstrations as a text and make a long discourse upon student demonstrations and power. The wine of the western learning in the old wineskins of the east often causes strange explosions. Japan, as well as China, finds this so. Tokio is said to be the largest student center in the whole world, its students far outnumbering those of any of the German educational centers. These young men and women are ultra- modern in their viewpoint, and prone to criticise the government. In a crisis they are likely to be extreme jingoists, but ordinarily they enter- tain and agitate the most liberal opinions. Whatever their views, they are the leaders of tomorrow, as weil as a formidable force today. No public_official in Asla would Ignore or disdain student opinion.

I reached Mos- cow from the south on the very day that the city fell to the bolsheviks, and the eight days of fighting that) had gone before had been conducted almost wholly on the government! side by the cadets. The valor of the Russian students in contending for| “holy Russia” was heroic. Had they been supported by the Russian officers | of the old army there would have! been no Lenin-Trotsky regime.

NEW CONFERENCE EXPECTED IN 1322 BY LEROY T. VERNON. While the work of the conference on the limitation of armament is far from ended, nevertheless those ques- tions which are so lengthy and com- plex as to prevent early adjournment are progressing satisfactorily enough to warrant its members in beginning to look forward to the next step. As a result the belief is strongly in- creasing among the elegates that the Washington conference is bound to be followed by more meetings of the same powers to conclude the work begun at Washington in the Pacific and far east, and there is also a feel- ing, amounting to a conviction, that this government will join in an eco- nomic conference in Europe not later than next spring or summer. Before leaving Washington for France Rene Viviani, who succeeded Premier Briand as head of the French delegation, expressed the opinion that the members of the Washington conference would meet again soon. In this connection the suggestion is heard that the next conference on Pacific problems should meet in Tokio not later than 1924, possibly earlier. There is a manifest effort being made by the Amcrican dele- gates to bring about a_ finul decision on all questions on the agenda of the Washington conference before it is allowed to adjourn, but it is like- wise clear that several of the ques- tions before it, of which the problem of extraterritoriality is a sample, must 50 to commissions for further investi- gation. Tokio Is Considered. The year 1922 will be well along before the agreements reached in Washington will be ratified by all the powers and the machinery set in motion to carry out their provisions —hence the belief that no further session of the present conference can be profitably held before 1923 or 1924. If there is to be another conference Tokio seems to be the logical choice for the sceme of its meeting, unless there shall arise some extraordinary reason for finishing the work of the Washington conference here. President Harding is known to be of the opinion that the Washington conference on Pacific questions will meet again. The statesmen of the powers, which have met here and whose names will be attached to the achievements wrought here by their efforts, be- lieve, with President Harding, that future meetings should be held early and often. Treaty May Be Rushed. There is no good reason now to be- lieve that President Harding will rush the new Pacific treaty to the Senate or that he will find it neces- sary to present it to the Senate in person or to take extraordinary steps to bring about its ratification. At present the ratification of the docu- ment without a serious contest seems assured, provided only the conference completes its work with the approx- Rent a Ford or Dodge Drive it yoursel!

Until Congress gives the President au- thority to negotiate the question of the foreign debt this government can- not undertake such a discussion or negotiation. There is evidence now l!.hnt Congress desires to confer this necessary legislative authority in time to permit the question of hold- ing such a conference to be discussed informally in the near future, but there is also a small coterie in the Senate determined to fight the ad- ministration bill to the last ditch, and | they may be able to delay a final vote | over the holidays. 1 (Copsright.
