thoratively stated today that the Uni

its her with disinterested purposes if
any action in Siberia should be taken
AT the. same time it is understood
Japan understands the United States
is giving thought to the moral effect in
Russia of such action and would feel
that absolute necessity should be APP
parent before it is taken.
These views have been expressed to
Great Britain which as an intermedi-
airy has advised the United States of
Japan's views.
