ARMS DELEGATES TO TAKE
Up PROBLEMS OF SIBERIA

Washington, Jan. 22.-CBy The A. P.)
The problem of Siberia, the only topic
on the agenda of the Washington con-
ference now remaining unexplored. - %
replace the Chinese questions during the
coming week as the paramount concern
of the arms delegates.
BY most of the delegations the Sibe-
rian situation is not expected to lead n
a long discussion. and it was predicted
generally tonight that by the end of
the week the Far Eastern discussions
would find themselves once more abreast
of the almost concluded naval nerotia-
tions
The japanese, who expect Siberia to be
considered at toromrrow's meeting Of
the Far Eastern committee, received to-
day from Toxic an expression Of poll
cy by Foreign Minist.r Uchida which
they regarded as determining definitely
the attitude of their government against
withdrawal of japanese troops from ST.
IBERIA until a stable administration has
been established there. This position
| the delegation is expected to Law before
the committee as soon as It begins its
Siberian discussions bringing the nego-
| tiations at once TO q consideration Of the
/ central issues involved in the problem.
There Is no indication that any other
power intends to stubbornly dispute the
japanese stand. or to bring on a prolong-
ed debate over less questions.
In some quarters there Is apparent a
belief that Ja1an should be invited to
set definite date for withdra wal Of
her military forces. hut the Japanese DEL
egates said tonight they had to pres
ent intention Of doing SO. Their troops,
they declared. were in Siberia solely to
protect japanese interests during the
inracap+ ,,u-aFfTod conditions onT 4hnrn.
fore It would he wholly impossible TO
fix withdrawal date until there are
definite assurances OF an Improvement.
Although the Far Eastern committee
Is about to shift its attentions to ST.
iberia. few of the Chinese questions still
tremain to he disposed Of and will re-
ceive consideration when the causes
which prompted their postponement are
removed. The Chinese request for abro-
cation of the twenty-one demands
treaty IS among these. but is not ex-
pected to come M until the Shantung ne
gotiations are concluded. Other sub
jects include the Chinese eastern rail-
way and the Russo Chinese alliance Of
1895 both of which are considered lf1o-
~ to dovetail into the Siberian discus
sions as they proceed.
It seems TO be A unanimous belief
that the coming week not only will see
the Far Eastern aeenda virtually eX,
hausted. but also will witness definite
steps IN the separate negotiations be
tween the japanese and Chinese ovel
Shantung.
The two groups will meet tomorrow
for the thirty-first time to continue theil
DISCUSSION of details. and two or three
more meetings are believed certain to re-
duce the points Of difference to a staE'
where compromise on the Tsingta'
