Replying declarations that the German concessions seized by Japan concerned only a narrow strip of ter- ritory, Senator Watson said that, novertheless, Japan had sent a mili- tary force “entirely through the prov- ince of Shantung,” had established railroads, mines and garrisons every- where, and now :.was in ‘“complete military and economic possession” of the whole province with its popula- tion of 36,000,000 Chinese. “The president recently has stated,” he continued, “that Japan intends to return Shantung to China. If that be true, why it not so written in the contract? Japan waged two wars with the announced purpose of in- suring the independence of ,Korea. And yet, having won in botH wars, she very specdily annexed Korea and in 1910 made her a part of the Jap- anese empire.

Japan, sceins his attitude, took advantage of him and forced him to endorse this wrong to China by the threat that, if it were done she would withdraw from conference and would decline to the league. And he yielded and is now endeavoring to have our nation ratify this treaty and condone this wrong. Japan coerced him into 1hat concession.
