London, Feb. 3.
The "Morning Post" says that some of China's enthusiastic American supporters consider that Shantung and its supplementary settlements have given China everything. This view, however, is not likely entirely to be endorsed by the Chinese, at least until the Twenty-One Demands discussion is concluded.
The restoration of Shantung and Weihaiwei (sic) has also provoked a query regarding Kwanchowwan, op which the "Daily Mail" quotes a statement by M. Sarraut reparating M. Viviani's declaration of France's readiness to participate in a collective restitution of Chinese territories, subject to the safeguarding of private interests. M. Sarraut explained that France was ready to proceed to an examination with China of the conditions of the restoration of Kwanchowwan.—Reuter's Special Service.
