.jAPAN'S CONTROL
HELD. D.UNBEA!RABLE
Russians Complain Of 0ccu-
patton of SaghaIien
Province in Siberia.
By the Associated Press.

That Japan's occupation of the Rus
sian province of Saghalien, Siberia.
which followed the massacre of Jap
anese citizens at the city of Nikolaie-
vsk, is prohibitive of any commercial
or industry activity by the Russian
people and makes the actual life in
the Sagha1ien district unbearable
are allegations in statement issued
by the Russian civilian delegation
here which represents the mari
time chambers of commerce of 81
IBERIA. The deputation, which came
to promote trade relations between
Siberia and foreign countries. rs head
ed by p. p. Goudkoff of the Fiadivo-
stok Chamber of Commerce.
The Siberian province of Saghalien
includes Nikolaievsk on the mainland
and the northern half of the Island of
Saghalien. The southern part having
been ceded to Japan after the Rus
so-Japanese war. The position of the
Japanese government concerning this
part of Siberia has been that the
Japanese troops will be withdrawn
after suitable compensation is OBJ
tained from some future solid Rus
sian government for the massacre of
Japaneses. Japan has regarded this
occupation as being separate from the
occupation of the Vladivostok region.
further alleges that the condi-
tions of the Saghalien occupation
constitute complete disregard of the
rights of private property of Russian
citizens, the denial of liberty of trade
and industry. commerce and trans
portation, and the limitation and even
complete denial of all the civil and
public rights of Russians"
Japan has no thought of with
drawing her forces" it continued.
but is doing everything TO fortify it's
economic and political position in this
occupied territory. and to drive out
the Russian population"
The statement declares that the
massacre of the Japanese was the
work of brigand band who de-
stroyed the Russian town and killed
many more Russians than Japanese
and that this band was composed of
Chinese, Magyars and Koreans

The atmosphere" about the Wash
irgton conference Is entirely different
from that found in Paris while the
treaty Of Versailles was in the max
Ing. according. to observers at both
the conferences. There Is here less
of the intrigue which hampered the
efforts Of the delegations to the peace
conference in Paris. In Paris the
game vas played in the old way, and
the intrigue and influence of women
was somewhat effective: but in
Washington. if the influence of
the women is felt, 1t is in a very diff
ferent way, 1t is said.
Women have been placed on the
American advisory committee, but no
one would suggest that any of the
four women on that committee has
selfish purpose to serve. Women
in mass in this country and in other
countries have let the conference
know how strongly they favored

for many hundreds of years women
have been potent influence in shap-
ing European politics and in Euro
pean diplomacy
Far eastern questions, particularly
Chinese. are troublesome and causing
some anxiety in the conference.
Japan, however. is apparently maxi
Ing a sincere effort to solve these
problems. and is showing her will
lngness to negotiate in regard to
China In a surprising degree. One of
the Japanese delegates has frankly
admitted that China is a Seighbor of
Japan. and that they m6st live to-
gether in peace and amity. 1t Is diff
rlcuit for any one on the ground to
see how China can get anything out
or the conference except by continu-
ing to accept the good offices of the
United States and Great Britain,
through Mr.. Hughes and Mr.. Balfour
and through negotiation with Japan.

ears at least. In discussing the peO-
pies of Asia and those of America

as "colored' and "colorless' peoples.
The idea in India is that people are

IN ITALIAN DEFICIT
Drop From 10,712,000, 900

Expected.
By the Associated Press,


GOME, December 1O.-The minisi-,
"I the treasury presented his financial
statement in the chamber of deputies
yesterday. For the financial year of
l920-2l the deficit amounts to 1O,712.-
100000 lire instead of the estimate ed
l2.141.o00.00O. This was due to the
fact that, although expenditure IN
creased. the revenue yield amounted
to 1871 100000 lire instead of tn,
estimated 1O.sO6, ,000,O 900.
The estimated deficit for the year
l92l-22 is approximately 100000.
For the financial year of 1929
which will be the first budget from
which direct war expenditure will be
hoped that the deficit will be reduced
to 5000. 100000 lire.
Budget Includes All Debts.
The minister. who gave a mass of
statistics. commented on the fact that
this progressive budgetary improve
ment was remarkable, because all
debts. even those of a passing nature,
dependent on the war, for instance
repair of war damage. merchant ship
building. etc, were figured in the
Italian budgets
clared. must disappear, and the gov
ernment would be compelled to ask
the taxpayers to make fresh sacrifices
The minister gave figures showing
the measures taken to reduce the pa :
per money in circulation, and dilated
on the exchange problems. The gov
ernment had helped to improve ex-
change by following a sound none
tary and economic policy and a rigor-
Gus financial policy by stopping any
further note issues, reducing the
amount of notes in circulation and
reducing state purchases abroad to a
minimum.
No tangible improvement could be
attained until the whole international
monetary and economic situation was
modified and until the world entered
into another frame of mind and the
spirit of peace and solidarity pre-
| vailed among peoples.
Dealing with the trade balance, he
| announced that in t he first eigh,
months of the current year imports
amounted to the value of s.7s7, 900. .00(
lire and exports to 4.S72.00O, 900, which
! constituted a remarkable improve.
