C. i ikk 1 1 oki vi CLAIMS MKT FORTH UV UI.IKB I'OWKKM (Continued from Urat page) hav? moved troops* Into Iteuat to secur# th*lr claims and French troops have es tah|i?bed u neutral *one to prevent bo>" tilitit-H botwwo tbeut. Serbia ? Serbia'^ claim to take from the llap?l>urg monarchy the provinces of Bosnia and lIer*e?roviu? arc opposed by iki oue In the Ksuteute group The plan* for the incorporation into Jugo slavia of the liaptAurjr ?provine* of Croatia. a* to the coastal region of Flume, are also considered aw sub ject to the internal decision of the South ern tysva. Jugo-Hlav aud Italian aims are in sharp conflict in the (.ettleiuent of the Adriatic coast) problem, involving the future o'f Flume and the Croatian sea board along with the Islands of I)al matia and Albania. The union of Mon tenegro and Serbia as u part of a great* er Jugo-Hlav State* ban been voted by the Montenegrin Parliament but the fac tion representing King Nicholas and his adhereuts protests against a union which Nball not leave to Montenegro entire loeal self -government. There in also a con flict between the plans of Jugo-Hlavia statesmen and those of Cseeho-Slovakia, who desire a wide corridor from Bohemia to the Adriatic, to Hungary and Croatia, to secure an outlet to the sea. Belgium having reasserted her inde pendence and thus emerged fr^m her old state of neutrality, desires from ^lollaud the left bank of the Scheldt and the pc ntuMita of Maastricht, which protrudes Into Belgian l/imburg. Belgium also will assent to a plebiscite in Luxemburg to decide whether that country wishes to> join Belgium or France or to retain its uutonomy. The foregoing may be considered the extreme claims of Belgium. They come into conflict with Holland, which resists any infringement of the frontiers, asked tor by the Belgian annexationists. The government of Holland appears willing to revise the Scheldt navigation treaty so that Belgium should enjoy equal right with Holland. Japan-^-Japan enters the peace confer ence as Baron Mnkino, the delegate has said, "with "no territorial ambitions in China," and Unit as for Tsingtuu sin' will band it back to China under the terms of the notes exchanged between China and Japan in "May, 1015 This is interpreted by Japan as permitting her to retain certain former German conces sions on the Shantung peninsula. Japan l Baron Makino explains, "neither intends 'nor defcircx to interfere in Kussian affairs. | but is willing, if solicited to aid Russia ! in restoring order." These declarations dispose of two of the main questions in which Tapan is interested except that she drsliys to re tain the Southern Pacific Islands^ norti:^ of the equator which formerly belonged to Germany. ' "China ? The Chinese delegates ask to he guaranteed against foreign imperial ism or aggression and desire thf gradual abolition of "consular rights'* rind to be allowed to impose higher duties oil ini IMH'tations. The Chinese also a<k for the return of Klau Chuu. Switzerland-? Switzerland appears to ho the only neutral State which has so 'far presented her desires to the peace con ference. The Swiss Government has rep resented that while Switzerland would be glad to participate in a society of na tions. yet. because of her mixed nation alities, she could not do s<> if that should mean the use of her troops in policing the world by force, as perhans, against Italy. France or Germany. Switzerland 'desires an outlet to the ea by milking the Rhine a neutral stream This is in aceord with French desires, since if Alsace-I/orruine becomes French from Basle northward and independent buffer States should be erected out of the Palatinate and Rhenish Prussia, a* sujTResti'd by Marshal Foeh. it would be necessary to neutralize the Rhino. If this wen* done it would give Switzerland u it outlet. to the sea. Scandinavia ? 'Die territorial aspira tions of the three Scandinavian powers are considered modest. Deumark wishes tn anne^thnt part of Northern S chics wig inhabitatcd predominantly by Danes, hut has not asked to regab) the provinces of Schleswig and Ilolstein, taken from Denmark by Prussia in the war of 1864. ?>r to extend her frontiers southward to the Kiel canal. Norway has certain aspirations to Spitsbergen or a part of it, but is not pressing her claims energetically. A strong Socialist movement in Swed en favors the iinion with Sweden of the Aland islands which are regarded by the Swedes as the naval key to Stockholm. Swedish interests in this connection are in conflict with those of Finland. Sov ereignty over the islands ha? belonged to Finland since the fall of the Russian imperial government. Nothing has been heard since the collapse of Germany of earlier Finnish plans to somre an outlet by the annexatTon of parts of Russian Carelift lying between Finland and the Murman coast and even of adjacent Fin tnark. which belongs to Norway. This contention on the part of Finland led to the landing of Allied troops at Mur mansk to prevent the establishment of a German submarine base In the North ern Seas. The delegation of the five powers who will straighten out this plexus of rival interests are obliged also to take into <*<>iisideration the passionate racial claims i'.,' i trade MARK registered.
