they arc interested in the Marmora
conference proposal.
Regardless of the possibility Of an
armisticc, the military leaders here
consider it absolutely necessary that
more troops be sent at once to North
Russia, il for no other reason than to
protect thc Allied forces already here
from the constantly growing number
of Bolsheviki, who have three or four
guns to the Allies one, and have vet
a great supply inland to draw upon
while the Allies arc only moagrely
The independent newspaper cole

verse with the Bolsheviki is similar Go
the proposal made by the Pope during
the war for the Allies to converse with
the Hohenzollerns. At that time the
Allies answered that they did not trust
the Germans and that they would not
talk with murderers and criminals. In
the same way, and with analogous mo
tives, 1t is necessary to state clearly
that it IL impossible to hold convcrsa-
tons with the Bolsheviki.

mentioned. so il remains after two
years OF impassioned discussion, and
nobody perceives any better to-day

The proposal, VI. Capus goes on to
say, has been developed without re-

in conflict with the nature Of things
The Capus opinion may be summed
up in the phrase that "human nature

not be achieved by league of nations.
The Echo de Paris regrets that
the speccaes entirely lacked precision,
and especially that President vii

reference to the question of penalties.
This view is expressed by "Pcrt;nax,"
who continues:
"If no military and economic penal
ties are provided against those who
violate the laws of the league CT ma

most certain failure"

out that the first people 70 rebel

japanese Enjoys
Deny They Seek Any
Territory From, China

PARIS, Jan. 27 By The Associated
Pressl.-The Japanese delegation, in its
attitude on questions coming before the
peace congress, will be inspired by
sentiments expressed by Viscount
uchida, the Japanese Foreign Minister,
on the opening OF the Diet at Toxic,
Japan's senior delegate, Baron Maxine,
said to The Associated Press corre-
spondcnt.
The Japanese, first of all, will CON
tribute in every way possible to the
conclusion Of just and permanent
peace, and neither expect, nor desire
any territorial expansion in China or
Siberia, he said.
Accept Uchida's Views
While declining to discuss with the
press any questions likely to come be-
fore the congress, Baron Maxine said:
"Our Minister of Foreign Affairs
may be regarded as having expressed
the views of the peace delegates in out
lining the broad policies Of Japan. He
disposed of any question as to Japan's
relations with Russia. by declaring
that she neither intends nor desires to
interfere in Russian affairs. but is
willing, if solicited, to aid Russia in
restoring order.
'Niscount Uchida gave ample assur-
ancc that Japan has no territorial am
bltions in China. On the contrary, we
have soiemnly engaged 10 respect the
.,.,l
China. Our country proposes to de-
monstrate she is sincere friend Of
China by using every endeavor to pro-
mote good VIII and the common vel
fare"
Will Return Tsing-tao
Asked as to the disposition of Tsinc-
tao. Baron Maxine said:
"Niscount Uchida left no room for
doubt as to where Japan stands, when
he said that if, at the peace congress,
Japan was given the right freely to
dispose of Tsing-tao, she will hand if
back to China under the terms of tho
notes exchanged between China and
Japan in May, 1915.
"At this time of changed and cnang-
ing conditions, when the past is being
buried and new hopes, ideals and
methods must rule the world, it IS of
vital necessity that there be friendlv
agreement, and cooperation between
Japan and China
Mistakes on both sides have resulted
in complications, while the misunder
standings have been fostcrcd assidu-
ously by selfish interests. Yet. in
spite of these hindcrances, trade be-
tween the two countries has increased

relations are extremely close, and, with

exports to China are larger than to any
