ALLIED STATEMENT FIRM.
Has Full Approval of Japan and
United States Governments.

Paris, March 21.-In official circles
here it was pointed out this wee.l
that +he declaration issued in connoH-
tion with last weeks interallied con-
ference in London concerns merely
European territorial questions and
hence it was logical that the United
States and Japan although fully III
formed and in entire sympathy witt:
the statements made, should not have
taken formal part in the issuance OF
the declaration. A competent author
ity said:
"The declaration fully expresses tht
democrats principles formulated j
President Wilson's messages, notably
as regards the rights of peoples te
dispose of themselves. It marks thi
will of the allies that peace shall not
be founded on any basis other thar
respect for the right. 1t deals oa
justice to the hypocritical procedur;
of Germany, which makes a pretons'
of conforming to American ideals.
"The declaration is unmistakabl;
vigorous as regards the Brest-Litovs'
peace agreement, condemning 1t o
null and void and refusing recogn:
ton of. any similar treaties which
-
NAV follow, as, for instance, Wit!
Rumania. 1t emphasizes the point tha
the central powers are determined t
dismember Poland, while the allie
give Poland the assurance and thei
victory means her liberation, the re
storation of her independence.
"The declaration denounces cleari.
and categorically the Bolshevik blind
er in putting faith in Germa"y
words concerning peace without an
nexations or indemnities. 1t show
that the allies regard the Russian peo
pie as friends, drawing dlstinctlo
between the people and the Bolshevi!
and that they firmly intend to saw
Russia in spite Of herself"
