WASHINGTON, Jan. (Associated
Press) Copies of an alleged treaty
between the Japanese army in Siberia
and Russian officers connected with
Ataman Semenoff, the anti Bolshevik
leader, whereby the Japanese agreed
TO support with arms and money an
offensive against the army of the Far
Eastern republic of Chita were made
public late to-day by the special dele
cation Of the Chita Government now
in washington.
One of the clauses declared that
when a stable government was estab-
lished in the Far East Japanese sub
jects should receive preferential rights
in Siberia for hunting, fishing, for
estry and mining concessions.
The Chita delegation in making pub
lie the alleged treaty declared that il
proved the Japanese were in league with
Russian bandits, that they were making
1t impossible to stabilize conditions in
the Russian Far East, that the attack
OF Baron Ungern-Sternberg from Mon
golia against Chita was organized by the
japanese and that the Japanese were
aiming. under the guise of establishing
a democracy, TO create Government
which they would practically control,
assuring an economic grip upon the Far
Eastern republic and special privileges
and concessions.

preference. What the Irish people had
declared for was freedom and inde-
pendencc. What would follow rejection
Another Parnell split. which would save
the English the necessity for war. But
ratification could not be followed oy
such split.
Francis Fahy of Galway, opposing the
treaty said 1t did not satisfactorily
settle either the evacuation or the Ulster
questions. 1t was hard TO blame the
war weary people for clamoring fol
peace, but the Irish attitude was under
duress. Mr.. Fahy said that De Valera's
document No. 2 contained no oath
whatever. Mr. Griffith interrupted
'tBut the Cabinet minutes do"
