 TROOPS FROM SIBERIA


 Washington. Dec. (By the A. P)- Russia appeared at the Washington con- ference tonight in the arrival of a special depUtatiOn from the far eastern republic of Chta to lay before the powers here the plea of that government for insist ance in securing Immediate withdrawal of Japanese troops from Siberia. Other proposes Of the visit of the delegation. according to it's members, are to open trade relations with foreign countries aLu to secure recognition for the Chita ad-
 minstration.
 The deIegatoin is headed by Alexander
 A. Yazikof, adviser of the far eastern
 government on economic matters; B. E
 Skvirshy, former vice minister for for
 rign affairs; r. x. Karavaeff, economist
 and editor, and Gustav J. Farman. The
 lepulation left Chita n m.G-O October arl
 las been travciing steadily since, coming by Shanghai and Vancouver
 ! Chairman Yazikoff in the formal state- ment of the party said the United States government had invited Japan to send troops to Siberia with American troops tO aid the Czecho Slovaks, and that all 1 the powers mad guaranteed there would be no interference with the sovereignty CT integrity of Russia
 lie said the. time had come for the power sto redeem this promise and to see 10 it that the Japanes etroops left Si. bcria so that the "disunity of a part o1 Siberia which IS art,fcially kept up by 1 the Japanese troops" may be removed i Alr. Iazikoff claimed that the real req. i son why the recent conference between l Chlt2 and Japanese representatives a ; Dairen was a failure was because Japa1 i refused 10 entertain the Chita suggestion 1 ths; evacuation of Siberia be made 1 condition of the proposed trade agree ment. He explained that the Ch.ta gov crnment was/a coalition government com 1 posed of bolsheviki and non-partisans anC | added
 Our policy is one of cordiality witt i the soviets because we believe the sovie i is regenerating Russia. We believe tn i people of Russia, even including the in | telligenzia, are more and more raliyinj ! to the cause of the sovets and that tn | peasants are especially supporting it ol | account of the new economic policy whicl i the Moscow government is trying to fol l low"
 The Chita government, ne said, wa ] elected by a constituent assembly in Apri of thi syear which assembly had beel | convoked on the basis of universal sui frage. with more than So per cont of tn 1 population voting. The delegation, h
 Id, would aim tS open trade relation | with American business interests and t | interest Americans in the developmen

 In the conference between inc R-i.tsb ministers and the Sim Fein dele~a-ez which followed, the premier and his col leagues wkere informed that the yt-o- posals were not acceptable.

 The future is not considered p-or,isinr The members af the special Committee of lhe British government who took mari In the original conference are to meet to- morrow for the purpose. it is believed.

INFORMAL CONSULTATIONS
 BY ARAMEST DELEGATES

Washington. Dec. 4-CBy The A. Pl The arms conference is in recess until Wednesday. but for most of the delegates there is no rest from the inc-ea aEing,y prominent informal consultations" in which individuals and small groups ex- change views on important phases of the negotiations.
 The Far Eastern discussions are to be resumed at a meeting of the committee of the whole on Wednesday, but t may be late in the week before the Japanese have received instructions from their government warranting a further step In the naval exchanges.
 Like the deliberations Of the lesseI groups the actual state of affairs in re- gard to the naval ratio remains se- cret with the result ahat in it's present phase most of the happenings of th' conference must remain c mystery tr the public. Even the delegates of some of the nations represented here are is- norant Of what is in the minds of the naval Big Three"-Hughes, Bslfoul Kato-who are described as regardina it as a matter of honor, not to divuls' what happened at their two hour con ference on Friday night.
 The long delay in carrying forward th' naval discussions IS explained by th' time required for the Japanese delegates to communicate with Tokio. as wei ai by the importance which the Jspanes' attach to the present stage of the neEo tiationS. It is said in Japanese circle! here that the mobe officials douhtles' will not desire to forward a definii' statement of the national attitude unti thev have very thoroughly canva sse- sentiment throughout Japan.

IRISH CONFERENCE IS TO
 REASsEMBLE THIS AFTERNOON

London, Dec. (By the A. P).-The Irish conference reassembled in Downing street at the official residence of Premier Lloyd George this afternoon to discuss the latest phases of the Irish situation. Those present were MT. Lloyd George J. Austen Chamberlin, lord privy seal, Vis- count Birkenhead, lord chancellor. and Sir Robert S. Horne, chancellor of the exchequer, representing Great Britain. and Arthur Griffith, Robert Barton and George Gavan Duffy, representing the Sim Feiners.
 The general impression of the situation after the meeting was a very gloomy one. The Irishmen submitted the result of the Dali Eireann's examination of the latest proposals of the government and pointed eut where they were unacceptable. They had said no more on Thursday night than that the proposals required full con- sderation and had not yielded any points in dispute.
 The meeting of the Dali Eireann cabi- net in Dublin Saturday emphasized the principles involved in the scheme and the impression conveyed was that nc principle would be sacrificed to gain Ul- ster's assent or to put Ulster in wrong if it refused assent.
 Premier Lloyd Georges difficulty, ae cording to those in close touch with him is that he cannot ask Ulster to agree tC any terms which British opinion would not endorse.
 He is firm in the stand that the allegi ance question cannot be abandoned ol camoufiaged, and this, it. is said, ha, prove dthe most insuperable of all tn, obstacles to a settlement.
 The proposal that the king might b, recognized as the head of a British fed eration of free states, but not as king O Ireland, was objected to by the Britisl ministers It was declared it would b secuted by Ulster and would not be in telligible to the British electors An at tempt was made to devise some form o allegiance the Sim Fefn might accept but this apparently proved unsuccessful The cruX of partition was almoe equally serious. The Sim Fein regard l Irish unity as fundamental and was firn | that no proposal aimed at securing u 1 ster's assent should prove a possible per 1 maneRt bar.
 | The seven British representatives O | the original Irish conference are expect ed to meet tomorrow. It is presume 1 this meeting may preliminary to de l claring the conference off altogether. As things stand, the net result in tn l opinion of the commentators, will be { | throw the onus of the collapse on tn Sim Fein, and this will bring back Pre
 mier Lloyd George to the position he as
 sumed before the negotiations starte | that British law must be maintained an
 authority sought for drastic actiol
 Meanwhile dominance in the Irish admir- | istration would rest with the military.
 Thus far no agreement has been reacf
 ed for any prolonged extension of th
 truce.
