FRANCE-JAPAN
ALLIANCE MAY
BE DESTROYED
Little known Treaty Likely to
Be Killed as Far East
Solution.

and Philadelphia Public Ledger
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-When the
Washington conference smashed rp the
Anglo japanese alliance on Dec. 10 it was
of destruction in the realm OF Far East
ern treaties. Conference leaders said last
night the next pact destined for the
Suillotine in the defensive alliance be-
tween France and Japan formed on June
10, 1907. 1t is remarkable circumstances
that up to week ago the Franco
Japanese treaty of agreement in regard
to tie continent of Asia had hardly been
mentioned In Washington. In the pre-
conference discussions Of last summer
ana autumn 1t was never limited at. There
are many supposedly well-informed per-
sons here whc never heard of it. Yet the
treaty is rot dlssimilar in its main DUR
port from the AngIo-Japanese alliance.
The expectation now is that the i'm
pending nine-power Continental treaty"
or declaration, about to be entered into
at the conference covering general Ear
Eastern questions, will scrap the Franco
japanese pact. Its text, which has not
been published in the United States
during current discussions. is herewith
given.
THE government of his majesty. the
emperor OF Japan, and the government of
the French republic, animated by the de.
sire to strengthen the relations of amity
existing between them, and to remove
from those relations all cause Of mis-
understanding for the future, have de-
cided TO conclude the following agree-
ment:
1.-The governments of japan ana
France, being agreed to respect the indie
pendence and integrity of China, as well
as the principle Of equal treatment In
that country for the commerce and sub
Jects or citizens q. e., ressortisants) Of all
nations, and having a special interest in
having order and pacific state of things
guaranteed especially IN The regions OF
the Chinese empire adjacent to the ter
ritories where they have the right Of SOW
ereignty, protection or occupation. en-
gage 10 support each other for assuring
the peace and security in those regions
with view to maintaining the respective
situation and the territorial rights of the
two contracting powers in the continent
of Asia"
The treaty was signed at Paris by s.
kurino, japanese ambassador to France
and Stephen Pichon, then French min
lister Of foreign affairs. Simultaneous
with the signing Of the treaty, JAPAN
and France entered into a mutual most
favored nation treatment as between

WASHINGTON, Jan. "a new deIega-
tiOn from Siberia has arrived in Wash
ington and will demand consideration in
any settlement OF the Siberian question
which may be undertaken by the Wash
ingtOn conference. The delegation rep
reserts the sO-called Priamur government
in Valdivostok which lays claim to the
lower Amur Valley, and the Littorsl of
Eastern Siberia. taking In Kamchatka,
the maritime provinces and the northern
half Of Sakalin island a territory in all
embracing an area CT 7S3,57S square
miles.
The Pramur government IS anti-Bol-
shevist, and was set up Immediately after
the Russian revolution. 1t operates in
opposition Of the so-called Chita ~o7ern-
ment, whose unofficial delegation in
Washington recently created a sensation
by making public alleged documents to
prove an agreement between France and
Japan for the promotion OF mutual in
terests" in Siberia.
The delegates from vIadivosok an
nouace they are not seeking recognition
for their government. but are insisting on
a voice in any Siberian adjustment.
The specific demand for the Priamur
government is immediate withdrawal Of

Priamur delegates, land the Japanese
government, in its declaration of March
81. 1920, explained it kept its military
forces there on account Of the political
situation in the Far East.
The Japanese actually have begun the
occupation of northern Sakalin and the
lower Amur. In addition they are es-
tablishing a naval base near the estuary
of the Amur River. Japan has declared
