JAPAN DEFENDS HER
CONSORTIUM STAND
Says She Welcomed American
Proposal for Financing
Of China.
EXPLAINS RESERVATIONS.
Exclusion Of Manchuria and
Mongolia Sought to Aid
National Defence.
EXPLAINS RESERVATIONS
By thc Associated Press.

TOXIC, April 2.-The Japanese Gov
ernment in publishing to-day the CORE
spondence relating to the international
consortium for fiancing China, attached
a statement that Japan had always
tried to secure the return OF the Amer
lean group to the negotiations and there
fore welcomed the American proposal Of
1913 for the formation OF a four Power
consortium comprising Great Britain.
France. the United States and Japan.
With reference to Japan's reservations
regarding the exclusion of Manchuria
and Mongolia from the scope OF the cor
sortfum the Government statement says
it is regrettable TO hear discussions
based apparently on misunderstanding
OF the Japanese proposals. the object Of
which were merely to obtain anew a
definite understanding OF Japans special
and legitimate claims. The reservations
were not actuated by any desire to ex-
clude completely the activities Of other
Powers in the two countries. the state
ment asserts. Japan only desiring to In
sure her national defence and the secur-
tty of her economic life.
The statement declares it sometimes
has been alleged that Japan's insistence
on the reservations concerning Man
Churia and Mongolia were due to her
policy of aggression and that therefore
she delayed the formation Of the con-
eortium. but this allegation. the Gov
ernment says, Is without foundation.
THE demand for assuring the right
Of self-preservation and meeting the re-
uuirements of our national defence and
economic existence represents q serious
national sentiment which should not be
regarded as emanating from the po-
liticai ambition of small section of the
people, the statement declares.
The Government In conclusion says il
is convinced Japan may rely in the ex-
igencies of any situation that may arise
on the spirit of mutua, trust and friend
ship of the Powers concerned, who un-
derstand Japan's real intentions

WASHINGTON. April 2.--The nations

March. according to to-day's Treasury
statement. which showed it to be s23,-

tons outstanding s2.754.s41.00 600 repre-
sents short term treasury certificates

An analysis of the Treasury's fiscal
affairs for the last year reveals little
change in the amount of certificates of
Indebtedness or the floating debt. The
gross debt. however, which consists
largely Of Libertys and Victorys.. has
shown a steady decrease. Certificates
of Indebtedness outstanding on March
81, 1920. totalled $2.667. 100000. less
