'SUSPIC-
FOUS OF JAPAN
Indefinite Handling Of Siberian
Situation Caues Worry
WOULD BE BETTER
TO WITHDRAW
On Contrary They Are Asked
TO Fit Out Punitive Expedi-
ton Against Reds

Toxic, August 4-Japan's indefi-
mite handling of the Siberian situa-
ton is causing suspicion among the
powers, in the opinion of Marquis
Shigenobu Okuma, one of the elder
statesmen. Like Clemenceau in
France. when out of office, Okuma
has the reputation of fearlessly crit
icising the men who are running the
government.
In an interview Okuma said the rea-
son for sending Japanese army to
Siberia does not seem to be clearly
understood by the majority of the
people. He AIDED:
The object of the Sino-Japanese
war and the Russo Japanese war as
we'll as the war with Germany were
clearly understood by the nation, who
worked to attain the ultimate goal
with full and unanimous accord. AS
to the Siberian business the japanese
people are as much in the dark as
the troops who are fighting the Bolshe-
viks on the Siberian steppes"
After remarlSing on the withdrawal
of American troops from Siberia, O.
kuma insisted that Il Japan finds II
necessary to maintain her troops there
the who'll situation should be laid
frankly before the powers. He wen,
on: What the government is doin,
is not clear and is apt to create the
suspicion abroad that Japan is keep
her troops in Siberia for uiterior mo.
tives. Already blame is directed
against US for the military policy al.
legged to be pursued by Japan i'm the
Russian Eastern provinces.
1T would be better, he concluded
Tor apan To withdraw completely
from Siberia. If. on the other hand
Japan is asked by the powers to fl
out punitive expedition against tn,
Bolsheviks so Eastern Siberia may b
cleared of these undesirable elemets
