WASHINGTON, August 22—A first-hand story of the negotiations that resulted in the treaty provision giving Japan control in Shantung province, China, was told to the senate foreign relations committee today by Professor E.

Professor Williams said he had ”ob-

WASHINGTON, August 22.-The labor provisions of the peace treaty fail to cope with threatening labor evils and point toward a program which may disturb the domestic peace of the United States, Senator Thomas, Democrat, Colorado, declared In a speech today in the senate. He expressed grays doubt whether that section of the treaty could be accepted under the Constitution. The international labor conference to be set up. Senator Thomas declared, would be an important integral part of the league of nations, though the provisions creating it are not included in

"Inasmuch aa organized labor correctly speaks of itself as a class,” said the Colorado senator, "it is entirely appropriate to say that by including this program in the treaty, distinct recognition and separate organization are given to a class. To enthrone a class, whether by revolution or by treaty, is but to

estrange other classes.

In reply to a question as to what effect the Shantung decision might have in China, Professor Williams said: ‘T felt it would raise a strong protest from China and was tending to strife rather than to peace.

My own opinion is that the decision was an unfortunate one, that the leased territory of Ktao-Ghau and the railways and mines of Shantung ordinarily would have gore to China at the conclusion of pence; that they had been taken from China by force and by an

act of piracy.

”1 haven't the slightest doubt that Japan will carry out her promise, but the promise is very unsatisfactory because when the ninety-nine-year leasie expires she retains control of the port of Tsing-Tao, so that there virtually will be nothing to hand back.” Professor Williams said he had seen a letter regarding Shantung written the Continued on Page Thirty.

One answer to this is that' politics stands In the way.
