D|STRUST SWEPT AWAY BY ]APAN'S
 LATEST. PROPOSAL
Disagreement Between Nip pOn and America Arose Over Policy in Siberia,
 Official Note Says
sx A..oeIatsd Pres,

NladiNoStOk, December 26.-A common ground on which to base joint action in siberia has been reached by the United States and Japan, according to an an nouneement given out here blythe Jap anese official publicity bureau
 The announcement said Genuine sat isfaction is expressed in influential quar- ters that common ground has been reached by Japan and America for bas- ing joint action in Siberia. This is par ticularly pleasing to those who have observed with regres that Siberian poli- cies of the two countries at time seemed to follow divergent courses"
 The announcement was contained in a summary given to the Russian press as the Japanese views of the situation in Siberia. This was dated "TolSio. December 9" and included a review of the policies of Japan and the United States since joint action was insti- luted here
 The statement contnueds At the time troops first were dispatch to Siberia there was no divergency of policy between Japan and America. But the course of time changed this situation and led America to make the question of management of the Trans-Slberian railway the main ob- ject of it's Siberian policy, relegating the support of the Omsl government tAdmiral Kolchak's all-Russian gov ernment) to a secondary position.
 "On the other hand Japan made as- sistance of the Ofnsk government it's principal aim, regarding the railway portance. Most of the trouble be- tween Japan and America in. Siberia arises from this situation, but IL now is believed all clouds of mistrust and doubt will be swept away by the pro- posal Japan has made to America in a recent diplomatic note, the exact na- ture of which cannot be disclosed now. The note is the result of Japan's de- cision to modify her policy of active assistance to the Omsk government and base her Siberian policy on the guarding of the railway lines and maintaining of order in districts ad- joining them, thereby insurngs tram quillity inN the Far East.
 Tn pursuance of this plan, negotia- tions are progressing between Japan and the allied nations"
 The publicity bureau, discussing the attitude of the Japanese press toward Japafl's policy in Siberia, said, in a statement accompanying the" official announcements:
 AlI the important newspapers of Japan agree in opposing large rs-en- forcements of Japan's forces in Si- beria. The Japanese press lays em- phasis on the fact that because of that countrys geographical propinquity (to Siberia) Japan should take the lead in laying down the new Siberian policy demanded by the changed situa- tion. The Japanese press speaks for rapproa hme nts~Yith the liberal ele- ments in Siberia. 1t expresses no sympathy for any group of reaction aries"

 But Sold Shoes High
By Associated Press


 Paris. December 26.-Another scan dal connected with manuracturers dur ing the war came to light today when the results of an investigation into the manufacture of national shoes was published. It appears certain manu- factu-ers offered to produce shoes just as cheap as the government if they were supplied with cheap leather The government finding that leather could be bought in Spain and brought to France for 10 francs Der kflogram. as compared with the French price of 2n francs, gave licenses for-the importa- tion. But. it was noticed, no cheap shoes made their appearance. and the price of shoes increased.
 Thirtyfive search warrants were is- sued to find what use had been made of ithe imported leather. The investi- ration shows that several holders of scrmits to import this leather sold it through intermediates. Some had ex- ported it into Mayence and Constanti- snople. Others sold theirs in France at speculative prices, often at the French rate of 20 francs
