Vessel Obtained
"A neutral vessel to carry such
supplies to Japan was obtained and
chartered in the summer OF 1912.
The Japanese government. how
ever, refused to give its safe.con-
duct for the voyage OF the vessel
to the Far East.
THE Japanese government in
dicated it was unwilling for stra-
tegic reasons to grant any non
japanese vessel safe-conduct TO
move in japanese waters and that
IL had no intention TO send one Of
its own vessels to any neutral
area in order to pick up relief sup
plies for United States and AL
lied prisoners of war and civilians
as was suggested by the United
States government.
I'm March. 1913, the Japanese
government. in response to further
representation stresslng its respon-
| sibility to cooperate in solving the
! problem. stated that strategic rea.
sons still prevented neutral yes
sells from plying the Pacific waters,
but that it would explore other
means OF permitting the delivery
of relief supplies.
"In the following months the ia
panese government stated il might
consent to receive supplies over
land or by sea from Soviet terri
| tory. There ensued long and COM
/ plicated negotiations with the ia
panese and Soviet governments.
Each detail Of the negotiations had
to be dealt with through a long
and complicated procedure involy-
ing the handling Of communities
] tons at Tokyo. Berne, Washing.
ton and Moscow. and reverse di-
rection through the same channels.
Stockpiie Created
despite these difficulties, It
has been possible, with the Soviet
! bON Cl . W
ate a stockpile OF prisoner-of-war
relief supplies on Soviet territory.
Moreover, the Soviet government
has given assurances that II will
facilitate the transit through the
Soviet Union OF such relief sup
plies on a continuing basis when
a satisfactory agreement for the
onward shipment OF these supplies
Is reached between the Japanese
and American governments
The memorandum adds that In
spite Of the State Departments re-
peated endeavors to bring the mat
ter to a conclusion, the japanese
government has refused to accept
the supplies at Vladivostok which
now total 1000 tons. Tokyo simp
ly ignores the American govern
ment's inquiries made through
Switzerland as to when the sup
plies are to be picked up at VIad
ivostok for shipment to japan and
distribution to the American wal
prisoners.
