Japanese May Be Queried Soon

Washington, May 5 — Japan may be asked in the next few days to explain whether in its opinion the movement of Japanese troops into the Chinese provinces of Shantung continue as planned at the state department today.
Under the 1922 Washington nipotium power treaty, which became effective the Japanese and other foreign governments agreed never to intervene in China except when necessary to protect American interests. It was suggested that if Japan is now interested only in protecting its 12,000 nationalists in Shantung, the question of whether it could be allowed agreed never to intervene in China
Dipascales from China saying Japan seized the Tsing Yao-Taian railway were intercepted in official quarers here as perhaps a step beyond them.
The communication which Washington is expected to send will not be in the nature of a protest or warning. It was said the United States does not have a policy of protesting the practice of the nine-power pact. The American note will indicate clearly nevertheless, it was asserted, that the United States looks with concern upon the fact that America will ask Japan to reconcile that movement with the treaty.
