the question of Shan- Secretary of State

is going to tender his sa & consequence and Williams-advisor on stern Affairs, has already -It is wise to take

as Mrs Williams, an- nounced his intention of coming home weeks ago. However, there" is reason to believe the American delegation, including President: Wilson, are far from satisfied with the settlement of the Shantung affair.

It develops now that the Pre- sident had hoped to reach some sort of a compromise on Shantung whereby Chinese rights, would be protected. In the maze of other matters the Japanese apparently carried their point by indicating "a readiness to give solema assurance that Shantung province would be turned back to China. -

The fact apparently was over- looked that Japan could carry out this promise without losing the fruits of exploitation and after establishing a firm grip on the railway, the port of Tsingtao, the mining rights, etc. could later return an empty shell.”

Anyway," by waiting until final disposition had to, ba. made in a hurry of many important matters. Japan already threatening. to the conference because of the racial equality issue was able to play trump cards in demanding falfilment of her claims in Shan- tung. And it then developed that Japan's assurance to return Shao- tung at some later date was not questioned as this, it was pointed. out, was a matter which con- cerned Japan's honour in carrying out her obligations and con- sequently should, it was fen, be left to Japan to dispose of in her own way.

Widespread comment in the American press shows bow clearly the injustice to China is) appreciated by the majority of American people. By no strelch of the imagination can the sur- render of this Chinese territory and these Chinese rights be made to conform to any of the so- called principles of the League of Nations. Even the staunchest supporters of the Administration do not attempt to justify the action.

Senators, including the Republi can leader Senator Lodge, have already noted the flagrant injus tice involved in the Shantung decision and will make the most of it. Japanese spokesmen do not attempt to defend the prin- ciple involved but say it was simply, a matter of getting the fruits of victory by a good stroke of diplomacy. To the Japanese it is a vindication of the principle of militarism and force applied to the international situation as it now exists in the Far East. N" C. Star.

ON SOCIETY INDULGENCES.

The Court circle is not, joining in the orgy of extravagance with which certain sections of society are celebrating the end of the war. The King and Queeri have definitely indicated the royal views on the subject.

Silver trophies were to bavz been the feature of a cotillion, recently given by a peer, but, in accordance with express injunct ions issued privately from Buck- ingham Palace these useless extravagances were ruled out and pretty, inexpensive trifles were distributed as favours.

This fact may be taken as symbolishing the attitude that the King and Queen take towards the unbridled extravagance and ostentation which characterises Home present-day entertain- ments. Royalty frowns on un- checked prodigality, and does not, wish to see floods of champagne seventy-guinea,dresses, and money recklessly thrown away on vain show as a tribute to the winning of the great war...
