of Admiral Sims desire to submit

last speaker called upon so that the

Washington, Jan. 21.-Ofcial .ad'
vices from Toxic received here have
indicated the purpose of the Japa-
nese government to follow the eX-
ample of the United States in with
drawing its military forces from ST.
IBERIA.
Discussions in the Japanese press
and utterances by political leaders
have developed that probably a large
majority of the Japanese people are
averse to entering single handed into
such a vast enterprise as the inva-
sion of Siberia.
All of the other foreign elements
having been withdrawn from Siberia,
there remain now only about 5000
American and perhaps 10000 Japa-
nese troops, in addition to the
Czecho-Slovaks. whose number has
been vague. placed at somewhere
between 10000 and 10000. 1t is
planned to remove all of these
Czecho- -Slovaks by Feb. 16 and the
American troops should have quit by
March /.
Although their lines extend much
farther TO the westward than do
those of the Americans, the Japanese
have only a short voyage from Viadi-
NoStok to their own country, so that
their evacuation of Siberia may be
completed early in the spring.

maintenance of Bolshevist armies, but
the relief of the Russian peasantry.
1t Will, perhaps, require an organiZa-
tion like the American relief mission
in Belgium to handle the trade and
food problem in Russia and there is

charge of a big international commits
sion in which the Allies and associated
powers would agree to furnish food and
raw materials, provided neutral COM
mlssoners and observers We're per-
mitted to distribute supplies lust as
they did when the Germans occupied
Belgium.
AS for the other end Of Russia. it is
gertinent TO explain the significance of
Americas withdrawal from Vladivos-
tok and the Trans Siberian railway.
The Japanese, themselves, are divided
as to the maintenance of a force in ST.
IBERIA and talk of free hand" in ST.
IBERIA is not countenanced by Japanese
diplomats. who have assured the govern
ment at every turn that they are not
desirous of extending their hegemony
to Siberia.
On the other hand. japanese internal
problems are analogous to those of Eu-
rope. Radicalism and socialism are
growing and the conservative elements
in Japan sec the germs of bolsheVism
overflowing from Siberia into Manchu-
ria and finally to Japan.
, Torn between a traditional devotion
to the emperor, an intense nationalsm
and disposition to look with favor on
liberalism and its corrolaries the Jap
anese people are being urged by different
sets of political leaders to take con-
servatlve and a socialistic view of their
national development What is more
natural than Ito urge the stopping OF
bolshevsm by supporting antibolshevist
movements in Siberia?
Japan, therefore. was not altogether
pleased with Americas withdrawal
from Siberia, but it develops that her
displeasure was largely one of wounded
pride, because a decision so momen-
tols was taken without consulting her.
Tut this was due to an unfortunate
misunderstanding, 1t appears that Gen
Graves, commander of American forces
in Siberia. was given by cable a pre-
llminary statement of war department
plans so that he might make prepara-
tions. He told the Japanese military
officials and made public that state
ment before the department of state
could call in the Japanese diplomats
and 90 through 4se lIsael diplomatic.
PROCESS of cOfiSuftatfon,
The best OF feeling prevails between
Japan and the United States now that
the situation has been fully explained,
And the present direction of American
interests is toward western Russia and
n resumption of trade there rather than
q military penetration of Siberia.
