(By Associated Press)


TOXIC, May 23.-Japan is to evacu-
ate Siberia and restore Shantung to
China "at the earliest possible mo-
ment" according to a statement by an
official of the foreign office. following
adjournment of the colonial confer
ence which has been in session here
for the last week. This, he declared,
meant that there would be mo change
in Japan's fundamental policy" in the
Far East.
The government has decided not to
publish conclusions reached by the
conference for the present, but it was
declared that the results had been so
gratifying that similar gatherings
may be conducted annually to obtain
coordination between the various
branches OF government at home and
in other parts of the Far East.
Sessions Private
The conference included high Jap.
apese military and civil authorities
from Siberia, Manchuria, Korea and
Kwang Tung, and was presided over
by Premier Hara. The sessions were
private.
While. officials generally declined
to say whether Japan would take new
positive steps in Siberia and Shan
tung, declaring that this depended en-
tirely upon circumstances, they voiced
the hope that China was willing to dis
cuss arrangements for restoration oi
the province.
In regard to the conditions sur
rounding restoration they emphasized
that Japan sought nothing in ex,
change, but must have assurance that
Japanese residents and interests in
Shantung would be protected fully
1t was added that the absence of re.
sponsible authorities in China with
cap.
Think Work Started.
The impression prevails in Tokyo
that Japan actually has started ne
gotlatlonS with the Chinese govern
ment, though for the moment there is
a question of the recognition of that
government.
Meanwhile the leading Japanese
newspapers insist that Japan will
withdraw her troops from the Shan
tung railroad to Tsing-Tau without
awaiting China's acceptance of ia
pans standing offer to open restora
ton negotiations 1t is declared this
would. be carried out with an aim tc
hasten arrangements for the relin
uishment of the province of China.
The newspapers also declare the
government is arranging to evacuato
the whole of Siberia, with the excep
tion of the points in Saghalin province
which was occupied because of the
Nikolaievsk massacre.

SAFETY TO AMERICANS MUST Be ASSURED
BY MEXICO TO GAIN RECOGNITION, MESSAGE

merlin will deliver to General Obre.
gon, It is said, contains nothing which
can justify it's being characterized as
an ultimatum, but, it is understood, the
Mexican executive will be left in nc
doubt as to the determination of the
American administration to see that
American interests are not discrimin
ated against indefinitely.
Fall Said to Have Aided.
It Is said to have been prepared not
only with the knowledge of Secretary
Fall, but in collaboration with him.
Among the conditions set forth are:
Eliminat ton of those provisions OF
Article 27 of the Mexican constitution
relating to the naturalization of the
subsoil rights in so far as they effect
the tenure of land to which the title
was obtained prior to the constitu
tion of 1917.

prive Americans of the right of diplo
matte appeal in cases where property
is acquired.
Modification of the provisions which
prevent Americans acquiring and own
ing property within certain zone
along the Mexican coasts and inter
national boundaries.
Assurance that Article 33, of the
Constitution, providing for the expul
sion of "pernicious foreigners will
not be applied to Americans without
the filing of charges and the oppor
tunity of a fair trial.
Religious Rights Involved.
Modification of the provisions gov
erning religious worship in such man
ner that American clergy shall have
the right to exercise the functions
usual in their denominations.
1t was also suggested that the two
governments agree to the formation
of mixed court for the adjudication
of claims.

WASHINGTON. May 23.-A definite
statement outlining the conditions
upon which the United States would
extend recognition to the Obregon
government of Mexico has been pre-
pared for submission to President Al
varo Obregon.
This statement, in the form OF a
memorandum, it was said last night,
will be delivered to Obregon by
George T. Summerlin, counselor of the
American Embassy at Mexico City,
who is expected to leave for Mexico
this week.
Mr.. Summerlin was summoned here
month ago by the Secretary of
State to give first hand information
concerning the situation in that coun-
try.
The conditions for recognition, 1t Is
understood. practically are identical
with the recommendations made by
Secretary Albert B. Fall in his report
at the last session of Congress as
chairman of a subcommittee of the
senate foreign relations committee
which investigated the Mexican ques-
ton.
Assurance is Demanded
The important feature of the COM
munication is said to be the insist
ence that Obregon must sign a docu-
ment giving assurances that Amer
leans and their interests will be safe
guarded properly in Mexico before the
United States will consider the re-
sumption of formal relations with that
country.
IT such assurances are given, 1t Is
believed that Henry P. Fletcher, Under
Secretary Of State, who was Ambassa-
dor to Mexico for a time under the
Wilson administration, until he resign
ed because of d;sapproyal Of that ad-
ministration' policy toward Mexico,
will be designated to represent the
United States in drafting treaty.

STUbIC Will SPEAK
AGAINST PROPOSAL
CHANGING CITY RULE

Carl Stubig, ex-commissioner of San
dusky, O., who speaks at the high
school auditorium Monday night under
the auspices of the anti-city manager
organization, stated that the financial
condition of Richmond was such as to
surprise him that the people would
want change in the form of municip-
al government.
Usually you find some bug-aboo
which has crystalized sentiment such
as to demand a change, but thus far
l have found nothing to warrant this
in Richmond" he stated.
Has Extensive Data.
Mr.. .Stubig came to Richmond Sun
day morning and has spent much OF
his time since arriving here gathering
data on local conditions. He will
compare conditions in Richmond with
those in Sandusky. O.. which has been
under the city manager form of gov
ernment since 1916
The anti-city manager meeting will
be held in the high school auditorium
and the speaking will begin at 1880
o'clock, according to Gath Freeman
city chairman.
Mr.. Stubig stated that he was elect
ed member of the first Sandusky
commission in 1916. and that he re.
, signed from the commission after
serving three years of a four year
term. He stated that he resigned be-
cause the city business was being con-
trolled by three of the five commits
sioners, and that his resignati lion
and that OF a leading banker of San
dusky were in the form OF a protest
against the system Of control of city
affairs
