be recalled that it Is expressly stipu- lated in the plan for the supervision of those railways which was submit ted by the Japanese Ambassador al Washington. January 15, 1919, that the arrangement should ease upon the withdrawal of the foreign mill. tary forces from Siberia and that under the arrangements should then be recalled forthwith. The experience of recent months in the operation of the railroads under unstable author ity and frequent, local military inter- ference furnishes a strong reason for abiding by the terms of the orig inal agreement. Arrangements, will be made accordingly for the with. rawa1 of the American railway ex- perts under the. same conditions and simultaneously with the departure of the American military forces.
 i hThe Government of the United States desires tic Japanese Govern ment to know that it regrets the ne- cessity for. this decision. because 1t seems to mark the end, for the time being at least. of a cooperative effort by Japan and the United States to assist the Russian people, which had of late begun to bear important re- suits and seemed to give promise for the future. The Government of the United States is most apprecia- tive of the friendly spirit which has animated the Government of Japan in this undertaking and is convinced that the basis of understanding which has been established will serve in the nature to facilitate the common efforts of the two; countries to. deal with tAe problems which con front them in Siberia. The Govern ment of the United States does not in the least relinquish the deep in- terest which it feels in the political and economic fate of the people of Siberia nor it's purpose to cooperate with Japan in the most frank and friendly way in all practical plans which may2 bef worked out for the political and ,,econornic rehabilitation of that reHoa.
