CAN'T STOP BOLSHEVIkI
IN SIBERIA, SAYS HARA
japanese Premier Would
Withdraw, but Fears Result.

TOXIC, Jan. 24.--Viscount Takaak
kato, the Opposition leader. to-day In
the Diet attacked the Government for
keeping troops in Siberia. He declared
there was no Justification for maintain
ing Japanese forces there, and that their
presence would never result in a settle
ment OF the Russian problem.
Premier Harar in reply, said that he
would like to withdraw these troops but
that he believed their maintenance in
Siberia was necessary in the interest OF
Japan's national defence
Kiyoshi Nakashoj, former Minister
OF Agriculture and Commerce, declared
that various questions Were causing the
country grave anxiety. but that the
most important question was Siberia.
The whole province" said Mr.. Naka-
shojl, lis fast being bolsheviZed. What
will the Government do?"
Premier Hara answered that IL was
impossible to prevent the bolshevization
OF an allen land. He said the bolshevi-
zation of Siberia was undesirable, but
that II could not be effectively checked
Mr.. Nakashoji asked. Does not the
Government intend TO take steps against
the Bolshevist menace even II the peace
OF the far East ie seriously leopard
ized?"
Premier Hara responded that what
ever the result of the Bolehevist pre-
dominance there was no likelihood OF
the Powers acting as long as the move
ment was confined to Russian territory.
He explained that the Japanese troops
were In Vladivostok and elsewhere not
so much to counteract Boshevism as
TO protect Japanese residents.

Referring to the letter written by Mr..

Mr.. Harding is the last man to be casual

However, Sir Hamar Greenwood Is
banking on this activity In Ulster to
force South Ireland to what he calls
reason and TO line UP the south with
the north for ultimate adjustment.
Meanwhile there are killings In South
ireland every day, with no Sign Of

obvious that Michael Collins and Null

followers to give the crown a stiff
fight at every corner and still keep un-
