KAT0 SAYS AID
WAS GIVEN RUSS
TOCHECK REDS
Statement Explains Sup
port of Semenoff in ST.
IBERIA During 1918.


Japan's support Of Gen. SemenoT
In Siberia in 1915 was entirely due
to the fact that he was pledged
TO stamp out >Bolshevism. This was
made plain in a prepared statement
issued last night by Admiral Baron
Kato, of the Japanese delegation.
At the same time the Japanese gos-
ernment contributed materially in
money to assist the Semenoff cause.
according to the Japanese delegate
The statement as made public was
as follows:
II told you yesterday that a for.
mer Japanese cabinet had given
support to Semenoff in Siberia. ]
should like now to tell you some
thing more about that matter so
that there will be clear understand
ing of the case. About the time the
allied contingents were dispatched
TO Siberia in 1915, there had devel-
oped an anomalous situation in ST.
IBERIA. owing to the conjunction ef-
fected by German and Austro-H Hun
garian prisoners of war with Boil
shevik forces, the former assuming
practical command.
Sought to Check BoI.hevis,n.
I'm order to check the Bolshevik
influence from permeating the Far
East, IL was thought to be as ur-
gent as IT was eXpedient to utilize
Russian forces under Russian
command. Gen. Semenoff was re-
ported In those days to intend wag-
ing war against Bolshevists, and
Japan decided to give him material
support in his attempt.
in coming to that decision, Japan
was by no means actuated by any
aggressive designs. but was only
following the line of policy adopted
by some of the allied powers. no.
tably Great Britain and France. to
entrust to Russian forces the task
OF resisting the BoIshevik menace.
subsequently, the Teutonic in
fluence was swept away. and the
general situation in Siberia was
transformed. The German menace
ceased, and the factionsl feuds in
Siberia began to attain a purely
domestic character.
Support Discontinued.
"Semenoff, koltchak and leaders
of the social revolutionaries werc in
tura az loggerheads. In such cir
cumstances, the Japanese govern
ment decided TO discontinue its sup
port Of Semenoff entirely and to
observe strict neutrality in the ST.
berisn situation. Japan has since
given no assistance whatever to
Gen. Semenoff. either when he was
driven away from Trans Baiksl ir
the summer OF 1921, or at any other
time.
However. II must be made clear
that III the circumstances existing,
which i have outlined, the giving
OF aid to Semenoff seemed at that
time wise act, and was entirely
consonant with the allied purpose
though subsequent developments
transformed the situation"
