has prevailed generally over the
Eastern States and in many othr
parts OF the country for the lest

Moves for Trade Alliance With
Japan to Bar Yank Capital
In Siberia.
BY c. F.. BERTELLI.
Universal Service

PARIS, March 21.-Following
confirmation Of the reports that
Japan is yielding to Great Britain's
persuasion and has decided to re.
open commercial relations with
Russia Immediately, diplomats al
ready are voicing the fear that a
new alliance is sought by England
in order to replace the Entente
Cordiale, as we'll as to- provide a
formidable efforts of American
financiers to obtain a foothold in
Asia.
France, moreover. while ostensibly
objecting to the Anglo Russian trade
pact because it will drain Russia n
gold to England to the detriment OF
French investors in the Czarist loans,
nevertheless fears chiefly that Great
Britain may soon exhibit the same
leniency to Germany as to Russia,
which would leave France utterly
alone in opposition to Germany unless
Rene Viviani, en- route to the United
States, is able to persuade the Amerj-
can Government to fill the breach.
Officials here point out that Great
Britain has chosen to sign new al
lance the moment when the enforce
ment of the Versailles treaty is ap-
preaching a dangerous test on May /,
when, il Germany has not paid the
1000 100000 marks in gold sum-
marily demanded by the Allied Repa-
rations Commission, France will be
forced to make good her threat OF a
further invasion of Germany.
FRANCE SEEKS U. s. PACT.
Faced with a situation in which she
will either be forced to invade Ger
many alone or give up forever the
hope of the payment of the indemnity,
France will undoubtedly turn to
America as her sole salvation at this
time, with arguments Of the strongest
possible nature, which will certainly
give President Harding food for
thought.
France, for instance, will certainly
make the most of the fact that Eng
land and Japan are intent upon divid-
ing the Russian trade, products and
gold, invalidating the contract, worth
obtained by Washington ID.
France will point out that inasmuch
BIS Germany, Italy, Japan and Great
fritain are commercially allied with
the Soviets, the United States must
inevitably be forced into an alliance
with France in order to provide for
the mutual protection of their inter-
ests.
