JAPAN,s PEACE TERMS
Ex-Prime Minister States What He

Toxic. Nov 1S-Omcial japan is
silent as 90 what Japan will ask at
the Peace Conference, but Marquis
Shigenobu Ohuma. the venerable ex
Prime Minister has come out in a
statement as 20 what he thinks Jap
ans peace terms should be.
He says that Japan should approve
all decisions to be reached by Great
Britain, France and the United States
so fer as the territorial alterations on
,le western front. Central Europe, the
alkans and in African colonies are
concerned. because Japan has no di-
re interest in the affairs OF these ter
:: orics
as or the problems as to the future
o' rmany and Russia, Japan's atti-
tGa. should be decided in accordance
With the conclusions reached by the
Allied Conference, but she should de-
clare that the fundamental principle
Of settlement should be the universal
desire to obtain 4 permanent peace in
the world
The other points which the Marquis
makes are as follows
The future of the Samoa Islands,
which has caused various diplomatic
controversies among Great Britain.
America and Germany should be dc
cided in accordance with the will OF
/ the former two powers for the pur.
I pose of destroying German bases in
the Pacific.
Tie German New Guinea. which is
now occupied by the British, should
not be returned to Germany The
principle should also be applicable to
the Bismarck Islands
Japan should hold islands like
Marshalls, Caroline and others. which
are now occupied by the Japanese
navy, as il is dangerous to return
them to Germany and as there is nc
reason to let the other powers oc
cupy them
The cable line between TsingtaC
md the Southern Islands. which Il
now occupied by the Japanese navy
should be held by Japan The cabl,
, is property owned by private con
Germ, so that Germany should buy /

The problems relating to the mali
! tenance Of order in Siberia should b.
settled by the Allied conference. bu
