 JAPAN WOULD SEIZE
 PHILIPPINES HESAYS

CINCINNATI, Jan. 5.-James A. Robertson, of Washington, D. C., who spoke at the closing session of the American Historical session here today made this statement: "If the United States withdraws from the Philippines will there be any guarantee against the seizure of the islands by another nation? I am afraid Not"
 T cannot believe that the Japanese government, notwithstanding certain public utterances, is desirous of annex ing the islands, as Japanese interests lie to the north and northwest, but I am certain that Japanese interests would demand the occupation of the Philippines in case of withdrawal by the United States if for no other reas- on than to forestall their occupation by another nation"

 One of the motives of the repudiation it was said here, was to permit Turkey to enter a peace conference as an en- tirely independent power
 The United States w'il take no action in the matter, as this country was not a party to eltl8f treaty and does not consider that it's rights are more partic- ularly involved thru this specific ac- tion than thru the whole general Tur- kish situation.
