DOUBT IF CHINA ABLE TO RULE SHANTUNG

Brtiish and American Business Men Predicted Trouble on Jap Retirement. Br DUKE X. PARKY (Written for International News Service. COLUMBIA.

American business men and consular attaches predicted a wave of violence If the Japanese boldlei' were withdrawn. At tha time the correspondent visited Tslnff-tao It was an orderly, well-policed town, but the Japanese officials s-ala they believe dthat ordr could not be maintained after thfl Chincso assumed control, .lapantsc officials made the prediction. "Tour foreign .business Interests will not be e-afe, and foreign lives will bo endangered, because they will not have protection." However, arrangements were beingcarried out for the transfer of the territory, as tho Japanese had e?reed at and subsequent to the Washington conference. The Japanese wera In a delicate position because of the constantly repeated clmrge that the Japanese had secretly given aid to the Chinese bandits in order to make It appear that the presence of Japanese troops was necessary to Insure older. Frank admissions were made by British and American business men and consular officials that Tsingtao had never had such efficient administration in years as was given by the Japanese. In fact, belief was prevalent i: soma quarters that when the Japanese relinquished control conditions would grow so bad that Japan would have to resume hf.p police duties on Shantung Peninsula to protect foreign Interests. Conditions In Shantung Province are best realized by a trainride from 'i si-nan-fu, tho capital. Into the leased territory of Kiaoch&u, where fs located the great port of Tsing-tao. Leaving Tsl-nan-fu, one encountered beggars, filth and poor management on all sides. Then the traveler boarded a- train on the Shantung Railway, operated under rff;cient Japanese management, with guards and employed who gave the be.-t of Occidental service. T; ing'tao two months ago refcmblcd a Dutch coast town. Its 1-'.Hidings, erected by Germans and .1? panose, were clean; Its harbor f-nnt was orderly and well policed. Tho roads were kept in excellent repair. In November British and American business men and consular officials began to take serious-thought of the transfer and to wonder If the Chinese would bo able to maintain tii-i-hish and efficient standards set by the. Japanese. In connection with j cssimi nil prophecies the old actuation again was pressed that the Japanese were selling arms to i 'lihicse bandits. it was fairly well established that Chines-e had bought arms, but they vera sold. It was said, by Japanese merchants In the regular course of business. Japan has large interests at Ti-nan-fu and Tsing-tac, and unJfer tha circumstances It would rot be surprising: If she made diplomatic: representations to enables her to police the territory until ,he Chinese shew that they are able to cope with tha brigands.

Even though he be able to work only two or four hours a day he should be given opportunity to occupy himself. "We expect soon to open a factory, starting on a small scale and gradually extending the enterprise, in which our patients, under strict medical and technical supervision, in sanitary surroundings, will engage In producing such mechandise as they can handle and for which a profitable market exists or can be created."

Paris and Berlin over finOlns- n acceptable solution to the Grrman reparations tangle described by the State de partment as "the crux of tho whole European situation" Revolve around not one, but four, district 'plana" for lronlne; out the trouble that has beset 13urore since the slgrnln? of the peace treaty. Thus far. It was learned offlcUllv yesterday, the discissions have centered on no one phase of the problem, but all hare received consideration. The four sug-gestlona around which most of the discussion has centered may be listed as follows: 1. Create an International commission of economio experts to survey Germany's exact situation, and fix a total sum of reparations that Germany can pay and stlil keep her bead above water. 2. Call an international economic conference and attempt to settle) the differences by diplomatic negotiation about a table. 3. Create a wholly American commission to Investigate Germany's situation and render a report on her ability to pay, a task which an American commission could satisfactorily perform becauso of belns a nou-rccipient of Germany's payments. 4. "Talctj reparations out of politics." and permit an international banking- group to fix the sum Germany should pay, to be followed up by the floating- of an international loan to Germany. All these "plans" have been discussed in varying: detail by President Hardiny and members of his Cabinet, and none of them have been adopted as "the American plan' nor Is it likely any of them will be. unless Franco Changs her attitvdo A French ."sounding: out" Is now In progress. The discussions to date have revealed that Great Britain, Germany, the United States and to a leseer extent Belbium, -would be willing: to enter into any common International undertaking: to obtain an agreement. France is the lono stumbling block, according to reports made to Washington. The present French Government, having- ridden into power on a platform of "make Germany pay." lias thus far proved hostile to any of the four principal suggestions. Of the numerous plans advanced, it is generally believed here the proposed creation of an international commission of economic experts Is the most feasible.
