CHINA AND THE PEACE CONGRESS.
The Peking Gazette, commenting on the report of an interview which Baron Kato, the Japanese Minister of Foreign Affairs, recently necorded to a representative of the Jija, says
The portion of the interview to which we desire to direct attention as that relating to the important question as to whether China is or is not qualified to take part in the deliberations of the Peace Congress or Conference which is to adjust and settle the range of affairs involved in the transaction of the war. Büron Kato is reported to have said that he could clearly state that China was not qualified to tuko part in the Congress because she was not a belligerent Power. We suggest that this view is not only narrow bat erroneous
The situation created by the Japanese reduction of Tsingtau and seizure of the Shantung Railway derives its validity as an international transaction from the ar, and therefore falls within the category of affairs which must be deler mined at the Peace Congress to which Baron Kato refers. If Taingtau and the Shantung Railway were situated on enemy territory in the sense that Wilhems haven and the German State railways are so situated, the contention of the Japanese statesman would be perfectly sound and Chine would have no right of audience at any assembly convened for the liquidation of the matters connected with or arising out of the present war, But Tsingtau and the Shantung Railway are situated on territory which is included within the territorial sovereignty of
