JAPAN AND THE POWERS
Demand For Return
Of Concessions.
SPECIAL TO THE "TELEGRAPH** TOKYO, June 17 (Domel),— The time is ripe for the return of all foreign concessions in China to the Chinese Govern- ment, the "Nichi Nichi Shim- bun" declares in an editorial to-day.
The settlement of this issue is the national desire of Japan, the newn- paper says.
"It is unnecessary to point out that the existence of these concessions bas greatly hampered the disposal of the China Affair.
"Japan Intends to establish a new releasing order in East Asia, thus East Asin from the restreint of foreign countries.
"In this sense, Japan attached great importance to the Concession insue, and has already declared that she is ready to return the concessions to Chinu.
"The time is ripe for both China and Japan to study the issue serious-
ly."
