[Ry Associated Press.]
WASHINGTON. I'co. 'JO. Settlement
of the Shantung controversy now
rests with Tokyo.
The conversations between the Jap
anese ami Chinese delegates which
have been proceeding during tins
past three weeks, outside the Wash
ington conference, tinder the "pood
oft'oes" of Arthur .1. ISalfour and Mr.
Hughes. late today came to a sudden
halt with both delegations far apart
on the question of payment fi>r and
administration of the Tslngtao
Tsinanfu Railway, the heart of the
dispute.
Hold l.nnu Sroslon.
After a session lasting more than
three hours and a lialf, which c in
fer' nee circles hoped would bring
about a satisfactory agreement be
twei 11 the two groups, the Japanese
(b'lipa t Ions announced that tliey
could g-> n>> fiu'lher In th.-> conversa
tions without instructions fr<?n
Tokyo. Tiiis meeting then adjourned
"sine die." without agreeing on the
major issues.
"We rot to the point where we'
could not proceed any further." said
Pr. Koo, ?>f the Chinese delegation,
after the meeting. The principal
stumbling block, which was reported
tonight as threatening the entire
Shantung negotiations, was the Ja
pan* se proposal that Japanese ex
perls be appointed by the Chinese in
the service .of the railway.
(,o llcvoml liiN? ruel Iiiiim.
"We have already gone beyond our
instructions, and can ?o no further
without receiving instrm tions from
Tokyo." said Mr. Hanihara. the prin
cipal Japanese delegate attending the
conversations. "We have made con-j
i'es.;on after concession until we can
make no more. The Chinese dele
gates have receded on no point."
Replying to a question, Mr. Mani
lla ra said lli.it the Japanese consid
ered tile question of appointment of a
Japanese traffic manager of the rail
way as "essential to nn agreement."
as a safeguard to efficient operation
of the road and to assure protection
to the Japanese financial interests in
volved.

HARDING'S OPINION ON PACIFIC
TREA T Y CREA TES SENS A TION'
Delegates Reassured. However. W lien President An
nounces He J las No Objection to Interpretation of
Part PJaeed on It by U. S. Plenipotentiaries.
I My Associated Press. 1
WASHINGTON, I >eo. 20. A dif
ference in view as t?? ilic application
of the new four-power Pacific treaty
has arisen between President lluru
ing and the American arms dele
gates, hut the President announced
in a public statement tonight that
it would n?'t in- permitted to em
barrass the work of tho Washington
? i?nf< rein i .
In th-c President's personal opin
ion, a?- outlined during the day to
newspaper Correspondents, the prin
cipal islands; of the Japanese empire
are not to ho regarded a" Included
among tho insular territories to
which the treaty applies.
Itclrgntr* Alirrril Otherwise.
'I'ho American delegation, on the
other hand, agreed with the repre
setit :itive? of the other powers be
fore the treat* was signed that the
principal .Japanese group was to be
covered under the agreement along
with all the other Pacific islands un
der the sovereignty of the I'nited
States, (jreat Britain. Franc- and
Japan.
In Ills formal statejnent issued
after a two-hour conference with
Senators L.odgc and l"tulerwoo?l. of
the Amorican delegation, the Presi
dent ?-aid lie "had n> objection" to
the interpretation a greed to by this
government's plenipotentiaries, but
nssuuied that the spirit of the con
ference contemplated respect for
territory in every way that would
promote peace.
A nnoonernieii t (rentes Stir.
The President's original an
noutn nient of his views created a
stir among the delegates of a'.I the
power*, and although none of them
was willlr.g tpeiilj to take Issue
with htm. there were intimations
that such nn Interpretation of the
treaty was certain to be challenged
eventually ft to fevctnl <i iart> r*. Ills
later statement generally was ac
cepted by the foreign representa
tives as havinu i| ?termini d definitely
the attitude !|,e American govei n
ment it follows
"When the President was respond -
Ing to press inquiries at the after
noon conference today lie expressed
i ie '>pln on tnat the homeland of .la
pan >l!i! n?>t come within the words
'insular possession and insular do
minions' under tl>t? four-power agree
ment except as territory proper of
any other nation which is a party to
the agreement."
"This expression." the statement
continued, "has been emphasised as a
division between the President and
the delegates to the conference in
construing the four-power agree
ment.
OoeM \?it llliject to Construction.
??The President announced tonight
that tile difference in view ill nowise
would he permitted to embarrass th?
conft-rence or the ratification of t l?o
agreement. He had assumed ail along
that the sipr:t <tf t!ie conference con
templated conlldei.ee which pledges
respect of territory in every way
which tends to promote lasting peace
"lie has learned front the I'lilted
States delegates to the conference
that they have agreed to the con
struction which includes the home
land of Japan in the term 'insular
possessions and instilar dominions'
and has no objection to that con
struct ion."
The language of the treaty thus
brought into <|ucslh?n lias also been
the subject of Senate discussion, and
in response to inquiries based on the
?assertions of the opponents of ratifi
cation, spokesmen for the American
delegation have said repeatedly that
the major Japanese group must ha
regarded as included within the pro
visions of the agreement.
When be set forth an opposite view
today, Mr. Harding was said by of
? ficials close to him to have acted
without consultation with his Stato
department advisers and without any
definite purposo of announciiiK the
attitude of the administration. It
was declared tii.it he merely was
voicing a personal opinion, and had no
thought of precipitatIng a clash in
conference circles.
I'.flTect Wax I iiiiiit-dinfr.
The e iTe c t oil tile delegates, how
ever, was iinniediaiel> apparent.
None of them would comment, hut
.:monu Americans. Kritish. Krench
? ltd Japanese alike there was evident
a desire to have the attitude of the
American government clarified at

ltaron K.it ? >, head of the Japanese,
was one of those who showed great
est interest >11 the President's atti
tude. A pledge of secrecy, said the
Japanese statesmen, prevented hint
from divulging whether there hud
been an agreement as to application
of the treaty t<? tlie principal Japa
nese islands, and he added that "the
meaning adopted at the limo of
signing might be changed in the fu
lure. so I can say nothing at tills

In British ipiarters it was said tliat
it was tlie British and Americans who
took the lead in framing' the treaty
so as to apply to all the Japanese
group, and that the Japanese for a
time opposed the arrangement. Ar
