Abstract

The Text of the Shantung Treaty
September 20, 1919 issue

add to cart   close window

The importance, which the Shantung question has assumed in international affairs makes desirable the publication of this text at this time. There is, furthermore, a special reason why this should be done. The German and Chinese texts of the treaty are accessible only in a few of the largest libraries, and in neither the English nor the American collections of Chinese treaties is there a complete and adequate translation. Upon the exchange of ratifications at Berlin on April 29, 1898, the German Government published a portion of the treaty, which it termed the political concessions, and withhold from publication the remainder, which it described as the commercial concessions.
