Washington.-The problem OF 81.
IBERIA, the only topic on the agenda
of the Washington conference now re.
naming unexplored, is to replace the
Chinese questions during the coming
week as the paramount concern OF
the arms delegations.
BY most of the delegations the ST.
berian situation Is not expected to lead
to long discussion, and it is predict.
ed generally that by the end OF the
week the Far Eastern discussions will
lind themselreS once more abreast OF
the almOSt.cOucluded naval neg0tia-
tiOnS.
The Japanese, who expect Siberia
to be considered at the next meeting
of the Far Eastern COmmitte, reCeiy.
ed from Toxic an expression Of policy
by Foreign Minister Pchida, which
they regard as determining definitely
the attitude of their government
against withdrawal Of Japanese troops
from Siberia until a stable administra-
tion has been established there. This
Nosition the delegation is expected to
lay before the committee as soon as 1t
begins its Siberian discussions, bring.
ing the negotiations at once to con.
sideration OF the central issue IN.
volved in the problem. There Is no
indication htat any power intends to
stubborply dispute the Japanese stand,
or to bring on prolonged debate over
minor questions.
In some quarters there is apparent
q belief that Japan should be invited to
set q definite date for withdrawal Of
her military forces, but the Japanese
delegates said tonight they have no
present intention Of doing SO. Their
troops, they claim, are in Siberia sole.
ly to protect Japanese interests during
the present unsettled conditions, and
therefore 1t would be wholly impos.
sible to fix q withdrawal date until
there are dnnite assurances Of an i'm.
provement. "
Although the Far Eastern Commit.
tee Is about to shift It's attention to
Siberia a few Of the Chinese questions
still remain to be disposed Of, and will
receive consideration when the causes
which prompted their postponment are
removed. The Chinese request for
obrogation Of the "2l demands" treat.
les is among these, but ia not expected
to come up until the Shantung negotia.'
tions are ended. Other subjects in.
clude the Chinese Eastern railway
and the Russo Chinese alliance OF
1896, both Of which are considered like
ly to dove-tail into the Siberian discus.
sions as they proceed.
