JAPAN AND CHINA
TO CHECK HUNS
ALLIED GOVERNMENT ARRANGE
MILITARY COOPERATION TO
MEET DANGER IN ORIENT.
primary Purpose of tht Pact Is the
Safeguarding of Manchuria, With
Possibilities of Its Ultimate
Extension to Siberia.

Washington. Information has
reached the war department of the
conclusion of an agreement between
their common interests in the far east
against German aggression. Although
giving few details, the reports to the
department are said to make it clear
that the agreement was only for the
period of the war and was solely for
protective purposes.
A joint defensive to counterfeit Ger
man aggression in Siberia is known to
be contemplated, but information was
lacking as to whether this would in
by japanese and Chinese troops. AS
to the necessity for such action, the
state department is not Informed, but
1t is assumed that because of their
proximity TO Siberia, Japan and China,
with much keener interest in that
country than any other powers, doubt
less were in better position to know
the extent of German influence there
and the necessity for curbing it by
military force.
Regarding the agreement as of a
purely defensive nature, the state de-
partment does not believe it directly
concerns the United States ana conse-
quently it involves no change in the
policy of the department in the treat
ment of the far eastern question. That
policy, it is said, properly might be
subjected to revision if in the future
Japan and China should find it neces-
sary or advisable to call upon the
United States or the entente allies for
military or other substantial assist
ance in carrying out their plans. As
the matter now stands there is not the
slightest disposition to question the
motives that impel the two eastern ma
tions to join hands to protect them
selves from any danger which they
may foresee.
Practical difficulty in the combina-
ton OF japanese and Chinese interests
Is suggested in diplomatic circles here
through the disaffection in southern
China. But it is said that this is
founded entirely upon the ambitions
OF Chinese leaders without any rela-
ton to the situation in Siberia.
