THE MATTER OF SHANTUNG
{ *
Signs appear on the horizon that
Japan is uneasy as to the attitude
of the United States relative to Shan
tung. An uproar has been raised in
the United States as to the rights
of the Chinese in the matter that had
never even been suggested so long
as Germany was in possession on the
peninsula, and it is difficult to under
stand why it is worse for Japan to
occupy that province, with a definite
-promise of relinquishment in the near
future, than it was for Germany in
other years without intimation of fu
ture evacuation.
George Creel, in a recent prepared
interview, discusses this matter in
an enlightening manner.
“These opponents of the League of
Nations,” he said, “can hardly re
strain themselves when they refer
to China being handed over to the
tender mercies of Japan. They
charge that President Wilson proved
himself false to every one of his
own preachments when he agreed
to that thing. I would remind them
that Shantung was formerly in the
hands of Germany, but one searches
in vain through the records for any
protest against the iniquity of Ger
many being allowed to hold Shan
tung. If it is evil today it was evil
then: but not a single protest was
heard. I suppose the present out
burst of moral indignation is but the
explosion of the pent-up emotions
which commenced generating when
the Germans went to Shantung.
“No one denies that this was a
bad settlement,” he continued. “But
England and France had agreed
with Japan that she should fall heir
to the German title in China; not
to sovereignty or ownership of the
territory in any degree, but to an
occupation that would perm5" hei
to idemnify herself for her war
losses in the only way in God's
green world that she can. And Wil
son protested against it. He urged
that some other way should be
found. And he might have gone

one ounce of b king f’om the United
States. But from the day he went
over until now, instead of being given
support, he has been subjected to the
most outrageous persecution and in
suit in an attempt to destroy utterly
his influence. Even when he made
his public protest against the Italian
attempt to seize the entire Dalma
tian coast, a protest since backed up
by the Italian people themselves, the
leader of the Republican group, Sen
ator Lodge, addressed the Italian peo
pie at once, stating that, while he did
not know the facts, he stood with
Italy, and absolutely against the
President of the United States.”
The Ketchikan Chronicle evidently
has “fallen” for the propaganda be
ing circulated in behalf of “Hi” John
son for President. It describes its
idol as “the vigorous, the able, the
fearless, the unshakable,” and quite
plainly it expects the mantle of Roose
velt to fall on the shoulders of Hiram
GOING BACK TO THE
LAND OF HER PEOPLE
Mrs. McDonald, widow of the late
Archdeacon McDonald, left Dawson
recently on the long journey of 100
miles to the Interior to go back to
her people and to remain there in
definitely.
Mrs. McDonald is a full-blood
native Peel river woman. She was
married to Mr. McDonald when he
was a young missionary in this
country. They had several chil
dren, including Lieutenant Hugh
McDonald, who volunteered at Winni
peg and served with distinction
through the great war, and died at
the close of the war from pneu
monia, being survived by a wife and
little child. Another son, Kenneth,
is with the navy, and a third son,
Neil, is a traper on the Porcupine
river. He visited Dawson recently.
Archdeacon McDonald lived many
years in the Yukon, during which he
accomplished the remarkable work
of mastering the Takudth Indian
language and translating the entire
Bible and several hymn books into
the native tongue. These transla
tions are used extensively today by
Indians of the realm, and will be
used, no doubt, for a long time.
Archdeacon McDonald lived for years
in Winnipeg after leaving Dawson.
After his death Mrs. Dawson returned
to Dawson, and resided there the last
four years.
In making the trip to Peel river,
Mrs. McDonald will have to walk
the full 100 miles overland along the
old Indian trail, which is no light
task for one of her advanced age.
Mrs. McDonald, in her many years
of contact with the whites, has won
the esteem of all who know her. She
hopes to join her father’s brother
in the Peel river country, and says
that she does not know when she
will return to Dawson, if ever, and
that in going back to her native
region she hopes to get in the midst
of the land where nature supplies
many of the wants and where the
problem of high cost of living does
not press so sorely on those of little
means. « , ^
WILL GERMANY HAVE SCOUTS?
The Danish, Norwegian and Swedish
boy scout organizations, in conference
in Christiania, cabled Chief Scout Ex
ecutive .Tames E. West as follows:
“Danish, Norwegian, Swedish boy
scout conference, Christiania, has
urged peace conference not interpose
obstacles scout movement. Germany,
Austria invite scouts of America most
urgently support appeal.
“LEMBECKE DONS LIEBRATH,
“Chief Scout.”
The chief scout executive placed the
matter before members of the execu
tive board in the following letter:
“The difficulty about the scout move
ment in Germany is that there were
four separate movements and only one
of the four, as I understand, from Sir
Robert Baden-Powell, has any of the
heart and soul such as the English
scout movement or the Roy Scouts of
America. They made the scout move
ment. there essentially an ally to their
militaristic policy.
“If there was some way by which we
could, as a practical proposition, give
leadership to having the treaty pro
visions specify that there should be
no Toy scout movement except such as
followed the program of the English
Boy Scouts or the Roy Scouts of Amer
ica, it would be a splendid thing for
the boys of Germany and the move
ment as a whole.”
The matter was laid before Hon. W.
G. McAdoo, and the combined judg
ment of the members of the board, Mr.
McAdoo and the chief scout executive
resulted in the following reply:
“Recommend that League of Nations
be requested to make adjustments
about German and Austrian boy scouts
instead of appealing to peace confer
ence.”
