Indications today are that the United

Japan alone can deal most effectively
with German aggressions in Siberia.
Both military and diplomatic consid-
erations are involved in a possible par
ticipation of the United States in any
joint action tending to protect allied in
terests in Russia.
High officials intimated that predic-
tions regarding the decision Of the
United States would be unsafe. Con-

said, and so many new factors constant

The diplomatic problem involved in
any American action in Russia it was
