JAPAN TO HELP
feed SIBERIANS
Nation Will Also Aid in
Building of Economic
Life
COMMISSION NAMED
TO CO INTO COUNTRY

NJ II. A. Special to The Evening Journal
TOXIC, Japan, Nov, is.-Japan will
figure largely in the feeding OF siberia
this winter and IN the reconstruction
Of her economic life.
Japan had, before the signing Of the
armistlce, named a commission to go
into Siberia and study the economic
needs OF the country. The aid which
Japan can lend here TO the big problem
OF feeding the world and Of restoring 1t
10 a productive basis Is not TO be ig-
nOred.
Baron Megata, who headed the flnan-
clal commission to America last fall, is
head OF the Siberian commission,
"The first needs of Siberla," says
Megata, "are food and clothing. Cloth
sells by the foot In Harbin, and only
one-foot strips are sold at time, so
scarce Is the supply, Large quantities
Of boots must be supplied to the Slber-
ians by Japan. There Is need for cleo
trlcal fittings and. hardware OF all
sorts.
Rolling stock for the railroads OF
Siberia, scant enough In mileage at the
best, furnishes one OF the biggest prob
lens, particularly because OF the fact
that these roads all are nsrrow-gage.
Japan has difficulty in supplying her
own railroads, and America must aid
Siberia as well as Japan here.
Because OF a lack Of necessary flnsn-
clal machinery, banking facilities, Japan
and Siberia will revert TO the priinatlve
method Of exchange OF goods, Japan
Will take the leather, hides, wool, furs
and lumber OF Siberia, Of which there
are large supplies, and will give in re-
turn the food stuffs and manufactured
products OF which Siberia stands most
I'm need"
Siberia has cooperative unions or
selling agencies in all the principal
towns, which VIII greatly aid the inter-
change OF goods with Japan.
"Our work" says Megata, "ls TO re-
store the situation, as far as possible,
as II existed prior TO the fall Of the
Kerensky administration. We want to
replace the commercial relations that
existed between Siberia and Japan three
years ago. Our exports TO Siberia have
been reduced to one-ffth what they
were then. Exports from Siberia to
Japan have been increasing, showing
the trade possibilities there. We shall
be able TO open up new industries and
help Siberia to get on her feet"

Incidentally. some authorities
forescc that Germany proposes a

offensive before long. Its Indicated
lines ARE based upon retirement
from Belgium and northern France.
When this retirwment has been ac

The German retirement in the
north and the big American smashes
in the south were taken as spelling
the ultimate military downfall OF
