Tecoms Shantung Wor. This in the seventh article on Japan by Rodney Gilbert.) Written Expecially for The Star BY KODNEY GILBERT (Leading Oriental Journalist) Consider Japan’ manner of mov. \ing toward a secure ackpowledged | poaitian in Manchuria and Mongolia, If Japan seriously wants an area where her people can go or where | production of food can be stimulated ‘(as her “irresonsibie” prese insists {that she does) these are the régions not Shantung with ita 40,000,000 hungry mouths. Mow easy it would have been to ailence carping tongues on the Man Jehurian question by gratuitously | supporting Chinese claims in Shan- tung! Other powers would have been sure to ask that Twingtau be mado an international port like Bhanghal A little grandstand play of reluctance and Japan would find herself In con- trol of such a port by mere force of numbers SHANTUNG POLICY COMMERCIAL “BONER” China gladly would have given |Japan a mortgage upon the Shan ltung railway to the whole or a lerenter part of its value, together | with a choice in Mukden terms, ff | Japan were merely willing to label the line “Chinese Government Rail | way.” The German economic rights, tf allowed to revert to China, would |noon fall as ripe fruit to Japan if} | khe were not xo Inatetent upon clatm- | ing them while they «till hang upan | | the tree. Indeed, the fear of China's | \toreign friends, prior to the peace conference, was not that the confer. ence would return Shantung to China via Japan, but that she would award it to Japan via China. Japan ta ch: “smoke-sereened” her Shantung aims by raising the race equality Imsues at Versailles. She should have! “smoke-screened” her intentions tn | | Manchuria by the good will which That Japan Ever Pulled whe might have created with @ proper handling of Shantung. It appears that after all, Japan today is not subtie. She was prob ably in earnest about “race equality” outside of Japan and her posses: nions, AMERICA ANTAGONIZED AND QUITE NEEL SLY By her Shantung victory, not only has Japan lost an element of good will which might easily have been won from the Chinese and whteh would have made possible any amount of maneuvering in Man echuria, but she brought into the Far Eastern question a force which she has every reason to wish absent America, The attitude of America i» unt formly Hberal, #o liberal that it has generally been unobtrusive. So long as Amertoan interest slept, Japan wan practically free to impose her will on China. ~ FRIENDSHIP OF U. 8, FLUNG TO WINDS Fundamentally the American peo plo make American diplomacy, And moet of the American people are peace-loving, homewstaying bodies, who are concerned most of all with making the U, 8. A. a pleasant place in which to live, especially their home town. ‘They have been exceedingly admir. ing of Japan. They take credit for bringing her out of mediacvalinm, They take pride in her achievements, ana teacher in those of a pupil. They have welcomed Japanese students to their schools, Japaneae engineers to thelr factories, shawed them every thing, were happy to be imitated And when Japan won tn battle they rejoiced ax when the home team won & baseball game. Bo long as that attitude persisted l there was no IHkelfhood that sleepy corrupt, inefficient China could arouse more than an academic inter ext in her wrongs, What sort of » mistake was it then to allow the Shantung question to become a par tisan tanue in the United Staten?
