Book Description
Excerpt from Legal Phases of the Shantung Question It might have been argued by the Chinese Government that the word possesses, used in the first article of the 1915 treaty with Japan, was contemplated as to become applicable at the date when China actually was to give full assent, i. E., at the date Of the treaty of peace. Until then, Japan's title could be one of conquest only. If, in the meantime, Germany's possessions in Shantung province should be brought under the title of China, the rights, interests and concessions which Germany, by virtue of treaties or otherwise, possesses in relation to the Province of Shantung would be nil. Hence there would be nothing for the German Government to transfer to Japan and nothing for China to agree to. Under this interpretation the question of the es toppel Of the right Of abrogation would not arise. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
