By ne Associated Pres.

TOXIC, Monday. Nov. ls.-Negotiations
are proceeding between the Powers con-
corning the handling OF the Russian

front since the signing Of the armistice
In Europe.
Believing that the smooth operation OF

that the United States has suggested the
appointment OF a managing directorate

vens, now In the Far East. has been
delegated to this work
Russians are willing to cooperate and
France and Great Britain have agreed
to the plan. but Japan's attitude Is still
the subject OF negotiations.
The japanese viewpoint Is that the
question Is not important, because the
arrangement would continue only until
the end OF the war. Thereafter II Will
be n Russian question. to be decided by
the Russians alone.
II America proposes, that Russian
railroads should be permanently operated
by John r. Stevens. acting as an Ameri-
can, Japan undoubtedly would consider
the question very important
WAsHISGToN. Nov. 1S.--The commits
sion. headed by John +. Stevens, was
appointed by the kerensky Government
and ever since has been under Russian

States Government as an agent OF Rus
ala, and this country has consistently
endeavored to have nothing TO do with
the work OF that commission, 10 make II
plain that II was not an American organ
iZaton.
The other allies are said to have rec
ogn!zed this fact, but while Japan has
taken no stand antsgonistic to the OPP

to have been an impression In Japan
that the United States was thus gain
ing an ascendancy in Siberian affairs.
