IMPASSE AT DAIREN

TOKYO, Dec. 24.-The Japanese
soldiers in Siberia want to come home
They're not in love with the beautiful
snow. The people want 'em to come
home too, because the taxpayers have
been told that from SIS. 000,0 to
100000 might be reduced from
the next budget IL the cost of the
Siberian expedition could be elimi-
mated. There are evidences, some
think, that the military authorities
themselves are coming to regard the
Siberian affai as a white elephant on
their hands, and that they'd like to
unload
Information from a source very
close to the late Premier Hara is
that just before his assassination he
was considering plans to effect soon
a withdrawal of the Japanese ST.
berian forces. This information says
Hara had guaged the situation in
all its aspects and had deliberately
concluded that even if the militarists
opposed him-which he was not GER
tain would be the case-he could go
to the mat with them and win.
That, however, is merely a matter
Of speculation now. No definite move
ment is under way for Siberian with
drawal and there seems to be no pros
pect of any for the present. The
severe Siberian winter is setting in,
and the general opinion Is that It
would be very difficult to get out be-
fore Spring, because of weather
handicaps.
Meanwhile the deadlocked confer
ences at Dairen continue between Ia
nan and the Far Eastern Republic,
vhich has it's capitol at Chita. and
which, theoretically. is a non-Bolshe-
visit buffer state between Japan and
the rest of Siberian Russia. have in
sisted upon a specific japanese agree
ment for troop Withdrawals. japan
declines any agreement other than to
withdraw when convinced the Far
Eastern Republic can maintain law
and order and protect lives and prop
erty in the territory IT claims to con-
troll.
There is a rather general disap-
pointment in the Dairen conference.
In fact the Japanese and Russian
newspaper men covering It got to dis
gusted not long ago, that they met
In solemn convention and unanimously
passed resolutions that unless the
conference perked up. they were
going to leave it fiat, to struggle
through al hard winter as best it
could without them. These resolu-
tons were presented to the con-
ference the next day, and gravely re-
turned to the correspondents by the
official press-agent, as a part of that
days conference communique.
Since then the only news has been
that the conference is still deadlocked.

The idea has been put forward
that the Philippines should not be
defended: because IL defended, they
would enable a United States feet
TO operate effectively from their

the other leg; The Philippines can
not menace Japan. but Japan does
menace the Philippines.
Regarding this. someone has sug-
eested that IL would be suricient
merely TO fortify Guam and develop
IL into naval base. on the theory thai
Guam would then protect the Phil
ippines. and that a fleet based on
IL would be able TO advance TO them
and recapture them as soon as they
were captured
This is an attractive idea. but
hardly sound: because Guam 10 dr-
teen hundred sea miles away from

base for a modern feet.
But even II 81 could be made
into an adequate base and even n
IL actually were made SO. any hos
tile feet advancing from Il would
be attacked with torpedo planes and
submarines as soon as IL arrived
near the Philippines. and would run
into submarine mines as well.
The japanese feet would hardy
