Instructions Unchanged. Washington, June 27. —Announcement by the Chinese peace delega- | tion in Paris today that China ; would not sign the peace treaty is iin line with the instructions sent ■ the delegation several weeks ago by the Chinese government. These instructions were to refuse to sign the treaty unless some reservation was permitted as to Japan’s sovereignty over the Shantung peninsula, acquired by Germany from China under the treaty of 1897, These instructions, it was learned today, have never been changed and accordingly the announcement of the Chinese delegation was not. surpris- ’ ing to the officials here. Until very recently, however, it was considered here -as possible that China might sign the treaty in view of private assurances said to have been given her representatives that Japan's tenure of Shantung would not be long. China, it also had been believed, would assent to the treaty and leave the Shantung question to' be worked out by the league of nations.' Basis of Decision. The Chinese decision was believed here to be based on the following: “First, that the delegation was unable to obtain definitely expressed assurances that Japan would give up the Shantung province within a short, specified time and that the Japanese tenure would not be permitted ter run for the remainder of the ninety-nine year period under i which Germany held the territory, and, j | “Second, that definite assurances jwere lacking that Japan would re- i liinquish control of the railroad from ( Tsing Tao to Tsin Aufu, including all facilities and mining rights and . privileges of exploitation; of the Tsing Tqo-Shang Hai-Chefoo cables and of facilities at the port of Kiao Chau.’’ (Failure of China to sign the treaty officials explained, probably will exclude her from the league of nations including certain rights of redress under that covenant as well as work to her detriment in the resumption of trade.,
