Senate Debates Shantung Reservation Amid Pact Fight
Washington March 4 United Press reports a new group in the Senate pressing to modify the Shantung reservation to satisfaction of Democrats. Leaders warn against weakening the treaty yet claim any word change could be acceptable to some. Hitchcock opposes the reservation as written, while Norris accuses Hitchcock of aiding bitter enders. An amendment by Larter to strike references to Japan and China would pass 67 to 2 if approved. The substitute would declare that urban rights in Shantung returned to China at war’s end with the peace treaty ratified.
