WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 3.
I5aron Admiral Kato surprised the
newspaper corresoondents with a
bountiful New Year's grift tonight. Hi
talked actually like a human being to
human beings.
"There are absolutely no secret
treaties of any character between
Japan and any other powers regard
Ins: Siberia," be said. "There are no
secret treaties between Japan and
Itusslan factions in Siberia. I ought
to know. I have been a member of
the cabinet for the last seven years.
If such things exist, I certainly should
know of them. Moreover, they cannot
exist in the very nature of things. It
la impossible for such filings to exist,"
Bolxhevlk Menace Feared,
In defining Japan's Siberian policy,
be said: "Japan is ready and willing
to withdraw her troops as soon as
the Corean border is free from the
bolshevik menace. If we have a def
inite guarantee from the Siberian
government, or even without that, if
Japan were satisfied by existing con
ditions that the Corean border Is
free from the bolshevik! than she Is
willing to withdraw her troops with
out loss of time."
To the question as to where the
filberfan factions get their funds.
Baron Kato declared that he did not
know; it. Is an outstanding mystery
nobody knows.
IN-ndlnK Aegotlatlona I'nknoira.
He declined to discuss the Japanese
demands and otier details of the ne
gotiations now being conducted at
IJ.iiren, Manchuria, between Japan and
the Chita government, becnuse the
negotiations had been going on for a
long time and he was not advised how
matters stood at the present time.
From non-official sources I learn
that the Japanese position over the
Siberian questions is something like
this:
1. There are some. 8000 Japanese
residents In eastern Siberia, mostly In
the maritime province, in and near
Vladivostok. They are merchants and
ether settlers out of the hard-working
and law-abiding citizens. Natur
ally, Japan feels bound to demand a
guarantee for the protection of life
and property for them.
Japan "Willing To Withdraw.
2. Japan is more than willing
eager, in fact to withdraw her
troops from Siberia on securing the
treaty guarantee mentioned above.
"3. The contention of the Chita
representatives that the presence of
the Japanese army is the sole cause
of Siberian disorders is a thing which
Is entirely contrary to fact, because
all the world knows that some of
the unspeakable atrocities which
astounded and outraged the clv'lized
world came out of Siberia long be
fore the Japanese army went Into It
with the American and other allied
forces. Therefore, Japan declines to
bow to the Chita demand and take
out her army now, before a stable
Siberian government gives Japan a
guarantee that It will hold itself re
sponsible for the safety of the Jap
anese there.
Itlght to Lease Land Demanded,
"4. The Chita contention that
the Japanese are demanding the
right of the ownership of land in
Siberia, when the natives themselves
do not enjoy such right, is denounced
as untrue. Japan, I have been told,
is asking for the right of leasing
land not for 99 years, or any such
long period of time, but for just long
enough to justify an investment in
Siberian real estate.
"5. As for exclusively conces
sions and for the fishery, mining,
lumber and other rights which Japan
is accused of trying to get out of the
Chita regime, it is called pure fiction.
What Japan wants is to have Siberia
opened for foreign exploitation of her
resources, in co-operation with the
ltussians themselves. Japan wishes
to see the spirit of co-operation on
the part of a Siberian government,
in the establishment of productive
Industries in Siberia by all foreign
capitalists.
I'hlta Muiit Preserve Order.
6. And then, as mentioned by
Baron Kato tonight, Japan wants a
guarantee from the Chita regime that
the Corean border would be free from
the bolshevik propaganda and other
menace.
As for the withdrawal of the Jap
anese army from Siberia at the earli
est possible moment, there is a strong
entiment in Japan Itself. The mere
financial element in the sad, sad tale
of Japan's Siberian experience is elo
quent enough on this point.
According to the well-informed Jiji
of Toklo, Japan spent something like
J185.000.000 In the two years of 1918
and 1919, and it was costing Japan
sjmething close to J6.500.000 a month
to maintain her army In Siberia at
the beginning of 1920, up to the sum
mer of 1920.
This little thankless outing of the
Japanese army cost our country, al
together, no less than $350,000,000 of
the American money.
experience Ilaa Been Coatly,
At the close of 1921 the monthly
expenditure, according to the Yorozu
of Tokio, has been reduced to only
S2. 500.000 because of the constant
withdrawal of the forces being car
ried out. Even so. it is a tremendous
lot of money for the present financial
condition of Japan.
This Siberian business has been one
expensive luxury for Japan and no
one is praying more fervently than
the Japanese themselves for the com
plete evacuation of her army from
there.
FRANCE ACCEPTS RULE
(Continued From Flrwt Poge.)
Charges by the unofficial delegation
of the far eastern republic regarding
Japanese plans in Siberia, the delega
tion making public what It declared
was the text of a treaty between the
Japanese army and Russian rebels.
In the house. Representative Reavis.
republican, Nebraska, introduced a
resolution asking that the American
government request France to pay
her war debt. In view of her an
nounced plans to build a larger navy.
Some delegates also turned their eyes
on Cannes. France, where the allied
supreme council is about to meet. In
the hope that some angle of the sub
marine question would come Into the
discussions there.
It was said at the White House that
Ambassador Harvey had not been In
structed to raise the submarine issue
at the conference, but there were In
dications that if It should be brought
forward by another power, he would
be In a position to discuss It.
In discussing the French acceptance
of submarine restrictions,. M. Sarraut
declared his government "accepts
frankly not only the Root resolutions
but Mr. Balfour's proposal la respect
to the second one."
Previously, strong misgivings had
appeared to have arisen in the minds
of various delegates as to the
prudence of accepting Mr. Balfour's
suggestion that the submarine pro
hibition be accepted now by the five
powers without waiting for the
"universal consent" which Mr. Root
said was necessary to make a fresh
addition to International good feel
ing. Naval people were said to be
thinking of the need for clear and
even elaborate definitions of the
meaning of the resolution and the
naval question opened up by It. The
resolution provides that submarines
shall not be used as commerce de
stroyers. Some questions raised are
these:
"If submarines may not attack
commerce carriers, may they be at
tacked by capital ships or lighter
sea-BUrface warships or by airplanes
or by mines or by any device em
ployable other than by submarines?"
Are merchant ships free to run
down or attack submarines, or can
they be converted Into auxiliary
naval craft, having all the appear
ance of merchant ships, although
really armed, or can merchant ships
employed to lay mines be attacked
by submarines?
If capital ships may bombard open
towns are submarines also free to
bombard undefended ports?
Italian Reply Ia Delayed.
What is to be the relation of the
use of submarines, precluded from en
dangering non-combatants and use
by land armies of airplanes and poi
sonous gas gomba?
The Italian reply on the Root reso
lutions was said to have been delayed
because the Italian government, be
ing absorbed by important questions,
such as the crisis of the Banca Ital
iana di Scon to and the meeting at
Cannes, has not yet thoroughly ex
amined the situation.
As the head of the Japanese dele
gation. Baron Kato took occasion to
deny cabled reports that direct nego
tiations concerning the Shantung
question had been Inaugurated at
l'okin by the Japanese minister.

Japan Accused of Pfan Aimed

ARMY PLEDGE REPORTED
Alleged Treaty Copies Promise
Supplies and Arms for Pro
posed Offensive.
WASHINGTON. D. C, Jan. 3. (By
the Associated Press.) Copies of an
alleged treaty between the Japanese
army in Siberia and Russian officers
connected with Attaman Semenoff.
anti-bolshevik leader, whereby the
Japanese agreed to support with arms
and money any offensive against the
army of the Far Eastern republiq of
Chita, were made public late today
by the delegation of the Chita gov
ernment. At the same time that the alleged
treaty was made public. Secretary
Hughes In a letter to M. Sarraut, head
of the French arms delegation, said
he was "glad to accept your state
ment that the documents In question
are not authentic." The letter was
written in reply to one from M. Sar
raut officially stating that documents
made public by the Chita delegation
concerning an alleged agreement be
tween Japan and France for a pro
tectorate over Siberia were false. .
Pact Held Impossible.
Admiral Baron Kato, senior Japanese
delegate, in discussing the alleged
treaty made public late today, said
such an agreement was impossible, for
the Japanese cabinet, of which he was
a member, had never given authority
to the Japanese military representa
tive in Siberia to sign any such agree
ment. He characterized as "absolutely
false" the alleged agreement given
out by the Chita delegation Sunday.
In reply to a request to define
Japan's present position with refer
ence to Siberia, Baron Kato said:
As soon as we can get a guaran
tee that the bolshevik troops will in
no way invade Corea or Manchuria
we will- be ready to withdraw. If
my government believes it is neces
sary to receive a guarantee assur
ing protection of the Japanese peo
ple in Siberia, we will also ask for
that. Yon must remember these ne
gotiations (at Dairen) with the Chita
government are still going on. I
never heard of there being any ques
tion of compensation. Our occupa
tion of the province of Saghalien.
which includes the northern part of
the island bearing that name, is, of
course, on a different basis from our
occupation of the Vladivostok region
because It resulted from a different
set of circumstances."
Interference Ia Denied.
Touching on the occupation of
Kabarovsk, Baron Kato said that
while the troops of occupation
emerged from the territory of Vladi
vostok government where Japanese
troops are located, Japan has scrupu
lously observed a policy of nojj-ln-terference
in the domestic affairs of
Siberia.
Reverting to the documents made
public Sunday by (he Chita delegation,
concerning France and Japan in Si
beria, Admiral Kato said that in 1921
similar rumors bad emanated from
Paris, presumably from representa
tives of Russian interests. At that
time the Japanese had adopted the
attitude of laughing at it all, be
cause, he declared, It was propaganda.
"If anything of the nature of the
things mentioned in the Chita docu
ment were true," he aided, "I cer
tainly would have known it because
I have been a member of the Jap
anese cabinet for seven years. I wish
to take the positive attitude of de
nying it."
Treaty Dated Jane 8, 1021.
The alleged treaty made public to
day by the Chita delegation was dated
June 8, 1921, aid was declared to
have been signed at the fortress of
Vladivostok by Lieutenant - General
Saveliev, acting commander-in-chief
of all the armed forces of the Rus
sian eastern borderland, and General
Sobolev, chief of staff of the Grode
kovo military unit, representing Rus
sia, and by Captain Arimoto and Lieu
tenant Higuchi of the Imperial Jap
anese army.
The alleged treaty detailed the na
ture of the military movements to be
carried out in "an offensive against
the people's revolutionary army of
the far eastern republic." These move
ments Included sending Russian
troops toward Lake Hanka Ancbina,
another toward Anuchino-Iman. and
still another by sea to the bay of Stol-ga-Tetiukha.
Small partisan detach
ments of the Ussuri Cossacks were
to be reorganized and used for clear
ing the rear of the army from the
reds as the advances were made. In
accordance with the degree of success
of these military offensives, an of
fensive movement was to be directed
againBt Kabarovsk.
Occupation Ia Provided.
As the Russian forces advanced and
occupied Iman and Kabarovsk. units
of the Japanese expeditionary forces,
without taking an active struggle
with the bolsheviks, would temporar
ily occupy regions "freed from the
reds," giving aid to the expeditionary
detachments in their struggle with
the bolshevists' partisan movement.
Upon liberation of the maritime dis
tricts Japanese troops will evacuate
places temporarily occupied by them
and fall back to Nikolsk-Ussurlsk and
Vladivostok.
The fourth paragraph said: "At the
time of the beginning of the offensive
of the Russian forces the command
gives them material aid amounting
to 500,000 yen (about $250,000) and
gives for the disposal of the Russian
command the following arms and mu
nitions: 3200 rifles of various types,
350.000 cartridges, 24 machine guns
with 24 cases of cartridges, six field
and two mountain 3-inch cannon with
75 cases of shells. The number of arms
and- munitions may be increased In
the case of necessity."
Supplies Are Promised.
Subsequent clauses declared that
the Japanese would supply the Rus
sian forces with food and fodder, and
transport facilities for equipment and
clothing, that after the occupation of
Kabarovsk the Japanese would ar
range to lift the stoppagb order on
money deposited by A. Semenoff in a
Japanese bank and that thaso moneys
would be transferred to the Russian
command. Meantime, the Japanese
could land troops for the protection
of their fishing schooners on the Si
berian coast, could guard the port and
fortress of Vladivostok and maintain
control of the Ussuri and Chinese
Eastern railroads, and after the clear

Better Trucks at Better Prices
That is what the New Year's price reductions on GMC
Trucks mean to truck buyers better trucks which
tell their own story of sturdy service and economy
better prices which place these trucks at the front in
present-day motor truck values.
These substantial . savings in dollars are, however,
small in comparison with the" saving made possible
through the life of a GMC by the economy and effi
ciency features of its construction.
Such improvements as removable cylinder walls,
pressure lubrication, removable valve lifter assemblies,
dual cooling system, superheated carburetion, and a
positive speed governor are factors that are money
makers and trouble savers every day.
The GMC Two-Range Transmission, standard in
all models of two ton capacity and greater, has given
these trucks more utility because it furnishes speed
and pulling power in the same chassis, and does it
without the use of a huge, costly power plant.
All these vital points of superiority are enhanced by
such refinements as electric lights, generator and
magneto, to make GMC trucks, better motor trucks.
And their better prices, at the factory, (plus war tax)
are as follows: One Ton, $1495. Two Ton, $2775. Three
and one-half Ton, $3950. Five Ton, $4350.
