Notice sent to Japan and China that
the Entente Allies have agreed TO cooper
ate in defensive intervention in Eastern
Siberia and Manchuria is a sigI that
enlightened and progressive statesman
ship does not intend to put into jeopardy
the whole interests of the Allied cause
and indirectly Of the Russian people for
the purpose Of placating the Bolsheviki
1t is not contemplated that armies will
be sent to Western Siberia or Eastern
Russia to offset German advance, but
the Pacific ports, the railroads and the
great accumulation of supplies at Hardin
and Vladivostok will be held safe
China has most at stake, because of its
territorial relation to Siberia, and because
the Manchurian Railway, which has been
threatened, really belongs to China, al
though it had been operated under lease
hold by the Russians Japan must also
protect itself from even the remote danger
Of attack through Siberia, and, with the
assurance of cooperation from their
Western Allies, the nations of the Far
East should easily head off combined
menace of Bolshevism and Pr'Issianism RI
