Washington, D. c., April 81
The landing of Japanese and
British forces at Vladivostok and
the Bolsheviki objection to the
move promise to cause the de-
partment some concern. When
Japanese occupation. of Siberia
was proposed recently this gov

policy, and the Russia national
council of Soviets has announced
its purpose to protest to-, the
United States against, the pres
ent step. ,'''' 4,
