Another open door that we should

Japan Declares
She Is Willing
ToQuitSiberia
Troops To Be Withdrawn in

on Corean Propaganda
Demand ON Chita Denied
Prepared to Permit Repub-
lie to Develop as Buffer
State, Says Hanihara
By Thomas Steep

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-In the in
terest Of preserving peace in the Far
East Japan is ready to withdraw her
10000 troops from Siberia. She is
willing to permit the Far Eastern re-
public Of Chita to develop as buffer
state, independent of japanese economic
control and free from spheres of in
fluence." Her only condition is chat
Japanese civilians in Vladivostok be
protected and that Chita guarantee
that the border of Corea be safeguarded
against Russian propaganda among the
Corean people.
This will be Japan's attitude when
Siberian problems are brought up for
discussion under the agenda of the
Conference on Limitation Of Armament.
1t was made known to-day by the Japa-
nesc delegation, after protest had been
cabled from the Chita government. that
Japan had served on the Far Eastern
republic a series of demands similar to
the famous twenty-one demands she
imposed on China in 1916. The pur-
pose of the demands, the Chita govern
ment announced, was "to reduce the
republic to Japanese colony"
Japanese Deny Charge
The Japanese delegates asserted not
only that no such demands had been
made, but, on the other hand. as
precedent to the consideration ce the
Siberian situation by the conference.
Japan was ready to withdraw from
Asiatic Russia altogether, the only
conditions being that her trade inter-
csts be protected on par with other
nations and that Corea, which is now
secthing with revolutionary sentiment,
be isolated from Russian radica!ism.
Chita, which stretches 1000 miles
along Southern Siberia, from Vladi-
vostok to Lake Baikal, is on the con-
ference agenda as presenting one of
the "discernible sources of CONTROVERSY
in the Far East" The city of Chita,
the capital, where President Matveev
conducts the government, is about
l 500 miles from the Pacific. 1t has
heen his plan to move the capital to
Vladivostok as soon as the japanese
troops evacuated that seaport. Japan
has garrisoned the port and has kept
her troops along the trans-Siberian
Railway ever since the republic was
created i'll April, 1920, following the
collapse OF the Kolchak regime.
Because of this situation President

tegrity Of Japan against the encroach-
ments Of a THIRD power" He added
that he did not think the proposed
treaty bound the United States to such
policy, but if it did he would op-
pose it, Senator Poindexter, it is
thought here, will support the treaty
with the mainland of Japan excluded
from any possible guaranty under the
terms of the instrument.
Among the proposed reservations
which are being talked of in Senate
Republican circles is one which would
strike from Article / the words, "and
provides shat in case of any contro-
versy among the four powers arising
out Of any Pacific question which is
not settled by diplomacy the four ma
tions shall be invited TO joint con-
ference to which the whole subject
will be referred for consideration and
adjustment" If the reservation were
adopted it would limit the RESPONSE
bilities of such conference under Ar
ticle 1 to consideration" instead of
consideration and adjustment"
1t is understood this change will
have the support of some of the Re-
publican irreconcilables in the For
eign Relations Committee who are not
rated as opposed to the treaty.
Senator New, of Indiana, to-day in
an interview called the armament limi-
tation conference monumental
achievement" and said the four-power
treaty was but one of its "highly sat
isfactory and successful conclusions" )"
Regarding the treaty Mr.. New said:

solemn agreement to avert war and en-
courage peaceful relations between
Japan and ourselves, but we are secur-

Borah, Ladd and La Toilette
Republicans known To Be
Bitter Foes of Agreement

From The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.--In Senate
circles to-day the belief was general
that before the four-power treaty is
sent to the Senate for ratification it
will be modified so that it will be clear
that the mainland Of Japan is not in
cluded in the agreement. With all
doubt removed on this point, either
through action Of the conference or bv
an Administration reservation, leaders
believe the opponents of the treaty will
find themselves unable to make head
way. 1t is generally assumed that the
conference itself will clear up the mat
ter, and thus no reservation will be
necessary on the question of exclusion
OF the Japanese homeland.
Republican leaders predicted TODAY
that not to exceed three Republicans
in the end would vote against the
treaty. These are Senator'S Borah, La
Toilette and Ladd, of North Dakota
The leaders are assuming that Senator
Hiram Johnson will be for it. Op-
ponents of the treaty insist the other
side is undertaking the opposition.
Senator McNary, of Oregon, is one of
the Senators who threatened to vote
against the treaty when he was told
that it included the homeland of
Japan, as interpreted by the American
delegates. Senator McNary is expected
to line up for the treaty once it is
clearly settled that the Japanese home
land is excluded.
To-day word came from Senator
Poindexter, Republican, of Washing
ton, who is in his state for the holi-
days, to the effect he was "unalterably
opposed to any pact which will bind
the United States to preserve the in
