(Received April 19, 9.3Q a.m.)
NEW YORK, 18th April,
The New York Trib^ae's correspondent at Washington understands that the Harding Administration heartily favours extracting from Japan a define statement doncerning the date on which Japan will withdraw from Shantung, not only legally but actually. The Administration also strongly favours maintain: ing the open-door policy for China, being determined' to assure American merchants the same. opportunities as the Japanese in Chinese markets. The two questions are felt to be intimately concerned. It is recalled that President Harding, when a Senator, favoured Senator Morris's reservation regarding the Shantunc settlement, whereb*- China would be substituted for Japan in taking over ex-German rights there.
[The restoration of the Shantung Peninsula to China was included in. the reservations to the • League of Nation^ proposed by the Foreign Relations Committee of the United States Senate.]
