RUSSIAN TROUBLES
DO NOT YET THREATEN
INTERESTS OF JAP AN
Intervention, On Other Hand,
Might Lead to Serious
Complications
By j. w. T. Mason

New York, Mar. Military inter
vention by any Of the allies in Fhe>1n
ternal affairs of Russia at this time
would undoubtedly be interpreted al
Petrograd as contrary to the allies pro
fessaons of democracy and "self deter
mination" and probably would be harm
full to the cause of international democ
racy.
Japan s uneasiness at the conditions
of unrest on the Russian mainland close
to her shores is explicable, but there is
no possible danger to Japan in a con-
tinuance, for the time being, or this
necessary process of democratic read
justment in Russia. japanese trade may
suffer somewhat from the present dis
organization but the principles for
which the allies are fighting include
a prohibition against military adven-
lures in search of trade
1t is essential for the allies to hold
fast to their democratic ideals. Moth
ing, at this stage of the war, matters as
much as that, insofar as the future of
civilization is concerned. If there is
to be future cooperation with Russia,
the Russian people must not be permit
ted to believe that the allies profess
their faith in international democracy
only when it is convenient to do so.

Army and Navy Officials Are
Generally Opposed to Pro-
pOsaI Of Japanese
By Carl D. Groat

Washington, Mar. 1.-America s de-
cision as to Japanes or joint allied
action in Siberia still hung fire today.
The state department this afternoon
said 10 determination has been reach
ed. The cabinet was to meet this after
noon however, and the problem-con-
tanning many serious information as
pects-was regarded likely to come up
for full discussion.
Meantime, army and navy authcri-
ties felt no action should be taken in
Siberia with American sanction. How
the state department stood was puz-
zle.
Officials, however, let it be known
that they feared many Russians would
join the Germans in case Japan enter
ed Siberia. They said Germany was
holding up the spectre Of a Berlin-to-
Toxic route so that Japan might use
it as an excuse for jumping into Si-
IBERIA.
Other authorities saw the possibility
of German plot to swing Japan into
the two nations could control the world
These in favor of japanese action
felt that the presence of Japanese
forces in Siberia would be distinctly
beneficial and would act to hold back
any German invasion or uprisings in
that section. They doubted the possi-
bility of a German-Japanese alliance.
In any event, they said, japanese act
ion for the present would help the al
lied cause and was very much worth
having United States participation
would necessarily be limited by phys
ical difficulties. The problem in the
end would amount almost exclusively
to a Japanese enterprise, military men
declared.
The British ambassador, Lord Read
ing, called on Secretary Lansing today
to discuss the Siberian problem. It was

American position was not yet defin-
ed but the tenor of the conference was

E. DANA DURAND ACTIVE

Told the Packers Not to
Advance Price Of Cattle In
Face Of Heavy Demand

| Chicago, Mar. 1.-Francis J. Honey
struck again at the food administration
in today's session of the federal trade
commission food and packing probe.
| He read into the records letters taken
from the packers files in an effort to
show that j. P. Cotton, head of the food
administration meat commission, and e.
Dana Durand, another Hoover official
gave the packers secret information to
their advantage.
At the some time Heney plainly in
timated that food profiteering is going
on under the food administration eyes
and introduced evidence to show that
the Hoover wheat substitute order has
caused hardships to the consumer.
Heney read letter signed by +. T..
Wilhelm, of the Cudahy Packing com
pany dated December IL, 1919, to w.
Diesing, another Cudahy official which
read as follows:
Yesterday Mr.. Shepard (vice presi-
dent of the Cudahy company attended
meeting of the packers with Mr.. Cot
ton. He says the other day Mr.. Cotton
spoke to the five big packers in very
confidential manner, saying he didn t
want this known to the others at all,
that the industrial situation in the Ar
|gentine was very much upset and ON
that account the allied commission
would be buying large quantities Of
food for the English mission.
In this way" observed Mr.. Heney,
the small packer was kept off the
market because he didn t know when
to buy heavily, as he did not have the
information the big packers had. -
Heney then read letter, dated Chi
cago, December 8, 1917, purporting to
be from G. G. Shepard to M. r. Murphy
of the Cudahy Omaha branch, as fol-
lows:
81 attended the meeting of the food
administration officers at which there
were representatives of three or four
of the principal packers. The purpose of
the meeting was to discuss the general
situation in regard to packing house pro-
ducts and livestock. particularly hogs.
