THE JAPANESE DEADLOCK
DIFFICULTIES OF SECRET TREATIES THEIR FULFILMENT DEMANDED. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn.) Received May 3, 9.30 a.m. LONDON, May 1. The Daily News' Paris correspondent points out that the Japanese deadlock in reference to Kaiochau is aggravated by four ecret European , agreements. In 1917 Italy and Russia agreed without conditions that the Japanese should succeed to all German rights in China. France agreed also, subject to certain action against German subjects and property, and Britain signed after stipulating that she was to have similar rights in the German holdings in the South Pacific. The agreements have seriously handicapped a settlement. China offered la .. ~ defray the expenses of the Japanese' campaign, provided- the Shantung. rights were unconditionally returned to her, but Japan firmly demands that the secret treaties be fulfilled.
