SEC. DANIELS Sees Big NAVIES DOOMED
Former Japanese
Premier Reveals
Likely Peace Aim

Toxic. Nov 1S--tCorrespondence
Of The Associated Pressl Official
Japan is silent as to what Japan
will ask AT the peace conference,
but Marquis Shigenobu Okuma, the
venerable eX-prime minister. has
come out in 4 statement as to what
he thinks Japan's peace terms
should be.
The marquis says that Japan
should approve all decisions to be
reached by Great Bri ain. France
and the United States, so far as the
territorial alterations on the west
ern front, central Europe, the Bal
kans and in African colonies are
concerned, because Japan has no
direct interest in the affairs of thes e
countries.
AS for the problems as to the
future OF Germany and Russia, ia
pans attitude should be decidedly
in accordance with the terms Of
settlement Of the allied conference.
bu. she should declare that the
fundamental principles Of settle
ment be a universal desire to OBJ
ain a permanent peace in the
world.
The other points which the mar
quis makes are as follows:
The future Of Samoa islands,
hich has caused various diplomat
ic controversies between Great
Bri ain. the United States and Ger
many. should be decided in accord
anCe with the will or the former
TWO powers for the purpose Of de
stroying German bases in the Pa
cifc.
The German New Guinea. which
is now occupied by the British,
should not be returned to Germany.
The principle should also be appli-
cable TO the Bismarck islands
Japan should hold islands like
MarshaIIs. Caroline and others,
which are now occupied by the Jap
anese navy. as i is dangerous to
return them to Germany and there
is no reason to let the other powers
occupy them.
The cable line between TsingtaO
and the southern islands. which IS
now occupied by the japanese navy
should be held by Japan The ca
NE line Is property owned Dy
private concern, so that Germany
should buy it up before conceding
a. TO Japan.
The problems relating to the
maintenance of order in Siberia
SHOULD be settled by the allied con
ference. but all the allied powers
should refrain from any action or
demand for acquiring concessions
in Siberia.
The relations between China an0
o-her powers should be based upon
the people Of open-Goor and equal
opportunity
