ST. Petersburg. March 22.-United
States Ambassador Mccormick has not
been instructed 10y the state depart
ment. at the request of NJ. Takahira,
the japanese minister at Washington,
TO ask the Russian government what
facilities will be afforded 10 the 49,
600 Japanese in Siberia TO return TO
Japan.
According TO information received
here comparatively few Japanese are
now I'm Siberia. Most of them left
there just prior TO or after the break
ing out of the war The United States
embassy, which is charged with safe
guarding Japanese interests, has thus
far responded to the appeals of score
OF japanese coming from Siberia
through European Siberia. The last
batch of twelve from lrkutSk. was
sent to Berlin Saturday. Not one Of
them has been nolested, but il is con-
sidered safer that the Japanese be
placed beyong the region of possible
danger. No appeals have been re-
ceived from the few Japanese residing
i'm St Petersburg and other cities of
European Russia.
