[ Shantung peninsula should for certain
'(-onsideratinns be turned over to the

of Great Britain and France.
These pledges, Norris declared,
fully explained the pressure which re
gsulted in Shauntung's transfer to Ja

whose ratification by the Senate, he

i page in the nation's history.”
I Great Britain’s influence in the mat

to the Pacific islands south of the
equator, while France's aid was pur
chased by a proinise of the Tokio gov
