“PLAYING THE GAME.”
JAPANESE TROOPS TO BE WITHDRAWN FROM SHANTUNG. WASHINGTON DELEGATES JUSTIFY TREATY. Received March 13, 5.5 p.m. TOKIO, March 12. The Cabinet has decided to begir the withdrawal of Japanese troopi from Shantung on April Ist. Baron Kato and Handihara arrived, heavily guarded. No demonstration was attempted. Baron Kato, answering criticisms, denied that the Japanese delegates were under foreign pressure. He added that while some details of the Washington results were unsatisfactory to Japan, generally speaking all the nations were satisfied. Tokugawa, in a speech, declared that the critics of the Pacific Treaty were trying to read into its very plain terms some moral pledge binding the nations to war as well as peace. That interpretation was too far-fetched to need repudiation.
