ments:
1.-THE Japanese delegation wishes to
explain. as succinctly as possible, why
and how the Japanese garrisons in
various parts OF China have come to be
stationed there. At the outset, however,
I desire to disclaim most emphatically
that Japan has ever entertained any
aggressive purposes or any desire to en-

way guards. Japan believes that she has
on more than one occasion made her
position sufficiently clear She has de
clared and now reaffI1ns her intention
OF withdrawing such guards as soon as
China shall have notified her that the
Chinese police force has been duly or
ganized and Is ready to take over the
charge OF the railway protection.
The maintenance OF troops along the
South Manchuria Railway stands on a
different footing. This is conceded and
recognized by China under the treaty
OF 1905. additional agreement, Article

sity under the existing state Of affairs

made notorious by tho activity OF
mounted bandits. Even In the presence
of Japanese troops those bandits have
made repeated attempts to raid the rail-
way zone.
Tn a large number of cases they have
cut telegraph lines and committed other
acts of ravage. Their lawless activity
on an extended scale has, however, been
effectively checked by Japanese rail-
way guards, and general security has
been maintained for civilian residents

efficiency OF such guards will be made
all the more significant by compari-

that the alternative to the Hughes
