She is vitality interested in its pro
Ceedings has been received by the
president and informally transmitta,
to the belligerelts. Whether the
president has received the formal re,
plies can not be learned, but it can
be stated that, while Russia is n,
clined to favor the suggestion, Japan
will not consent to it. Japan has al
ready made public her assurance that
Ma2churia is to be restored to China.
That is one of the principles for
which she has been fighting. Japan
regards herself as fully capable of eX-
ecuting this promise without the as
Sistance of China, and in view of
China's inability before the war to
cope with Russia in Manchuria, the
Japanese government is unable to see
what possible service a Chinese rep
resentative would be in the Washing,
ton conference. Moreover, Japan has
all along taken the position that when
peace negotiations were begun they
would be conducted directly with Rus
Sia. 1t is altogether unlikely that
