"WASHINGTON1, p. C. Jan. it. (By
the Associated Press.) A sweeping
disclaimer of any design against the
territorial Integrity of Russia, coupled
with a pledge to withdraw the Jap
anese troops stationed in Siberia
when orderly conditions are restored,
was presented to the arms confer
ence tr eastern committee today by
the Japanese delegation and was re
ceived with a general show of satis
faction by the othr principal delega
tions.
Formal discussion of the policy was
postponed until tomorrow, but there
was no indication tonight that any of
the "bijr five" delegation would op
pose acceptance of today's deolaration
at its face value, or seriously oih
pute the plan of continuing, for the
present. Japanese occupation 01 01
berian soil. The general view was that
the whole Siberian problem touched
on today for the first tinve soon would
be disposed of on the basis of the
Japanese pledges.
Rhantans; Session Near End.
The long continued Shantung nego
tiations also approached their con
clusion. At their 31st meeting the Jap
aneoe and Chinese virtually completed
an agreement on all Issues Involved
except the central question of the
Taingtao-Tninanfu railroad, and there
were signs of Impending developments
regarding that. Ma Soo. Washington
representative of th unrecognised
Chinese government of Canton, an
Bounced a railroad settlement already
liad been reached.
In connection with the Japanese
statement regarding Siberia, it was
revealed that the American govern
ment had addressed a communication
on that subject to Toklo shortly be
fore the conference met and tnat the
Japanese foreign office had replied
virtually in the same terms as laid
down at today's committee -meeting
by Baron Shidehara. The American
rote was said to have pointed out
that the American forces having been
withdrawn from Siberia there was
much speculation as to why Japanese
troops remained.
Subject Not Discussed.
American spokesmen would not dis
cuss the subject tonight In advance
of the formal statement of view to
be made tomorrow, but it was learned
that the American government was
deeply Impressed with the Japanese
statement and was disposed to regard
It as a solemn pledge behind which
the conference could not properly go.
Moreover, In both American and
British circles, It was conceded there
might be much Justice In the claim
that present conditions in Siberia
make some step necessary to safe
ffunrd the rights of foreign nationals.
The Chinese declined to reveal their
attitude toward the Japanese policy
and the only note of criticism came
from outside the conference. In a
statement Issued by the delegation
sent to Washington by the unrecog
nized far-eastern republic of Chita.
Japanese promises on withdrawal
from Siberian soil, the statement de
clared, had been a chronic statement
of Toklo since August, 1920.
Pledge Is Concise One.
As put before the committee by
Baron Shidehara, the territorial In
tegrity pledge of Japan, regarded as
the most concise and definite yet to
be made by her on Siberia, concluded
as follows:
"The Japanese delegation Is au
thorized to declare that it s the fixed
and settled policy of Japan to pre
serve the territorial Integrity of Rus
sia and to observe the principle of
non-intervention in the Internul af
fairs of that country, as well as the
principle of equal opportunity for the
commerce and industry of all nations
In every part of the Russian posses
sion." 0
The withdrawal from Siberia, Baron
Shidehara declared, awaited only an
arrangement for protection of foreign
Interests there, while Japanese troops
would remain the Russian prov
ince of Saghalien only until a stable
government had been established and
had made fitting restitution for the
massacre of Japanese nationals in
1920 at Mkolatev.
Policy Is Outlined.
Baron Shidehara further said:
"Nothing Is further from the
thoughts of the Japanese government
than to take advantage of the pres
ent helpless condition of Russia for
prosecuting relfish designs. Japan
recalls with deep gratitude and appre
ciation the brilliant role which Rus
sia played In the interest of civiliza
tion during the earlier stages of the
great war.
"Japanews people have shown and
will continue to show every sympa
thetic Interest In the efforts of pa
triotic Russians aspiring to the unity
and rehabilitation of their country.
The military occupation of the Rus
sian province of Sakhalin Is only a
timporary measure and will naturally
come to an end as soon as a satis
factory settlement of the question
shall have been arranged with an
orderly Russian government."
Withdrawal Is Wanted.
Baron Shidehara said that since the
last column of Czecho-Slovakla troops
embarked from Vladivostok In Sep
tember, 19:10. Japan has been looking
forward to an early moment for the
withdrawal of her troops from Sibe
ria. He said the only region which
row remains to he evacuated is a
southern part of the maritime prov
ince around Vladivostok and Nlkosk.
"It will be appreciated that for
Japan the question of the withdrawal
of troops from Siberia is not quite as
simple as It was for other allied pow
rs." he said. "There Is a considera
ble number of Japanese residents who
had lawfully established themselves
In Siberia long before the bolshevik
eruption. In 1917 prior to the Japa
nese military enterprise the number
of such residents was 9717.
"There is another difficult question
wWeh Japan faces. Due to geograph
ical propinquity the genera! situation
lit the districts around Vladivostok
and Nikolsk Is bound to affect the
security of the Corean frontier. It is
known that these districts have long
been the base of Corean conspiracies
against Japanese."
Military Occupation Denied.
Ite said no part of the maritime
province Is under Japan's military
occupation.
His government's anxiety to see an
orderly and stable authority speedily
re-established In the far eastern
Russia, he said, had been Indicated
by Its keen Interest In the patrlotlo

said, "the Japanese government will

China Railway Discussed.
There was no discussion of the sub
ject after the Japanese delegate had
concluded his statement, although at
tne same meeting the committee gave
brief attention to the question of the
Chinese Eastern railway and other
collateral subjects remaining from the
Chinese negotiations. At tomorrow's
session all of the powers are expected
to reply to the Japanese declaration.
From a sub-committee a report was
submitted recommending continuance
of the present inter-allied control of
the Chinese Eastern road with pro
visions for financing and policing.
The Chinese member, however, dis
sented from the financing article, pro
posing an international commission of
financial control and from the propo
sition to continue policing of the line
by Japanese troopa As a result the
subject was transferred to a new
sub-committee headed by Blihu Root
Chinese Asked for List.
The Chinese delegation was re
quested to prepare a list of the for
eign contracts and leases regarding
which they previously had requested
an adjustment as to time of duration.
There was another mention of the
"twenty-one demands" but It was re-
assented to be the purpose of the
committee not to touch on that sub
ject until the Shantung problem was
cleared. An American resolution to
prohibit Importation of arms into
China was held in abeyance to be
presented later.
In their Shantung meeting tne Jap
anese and Chinese agreed on a settle
ment regarding the salt mines of the
province, China agreeing to purchase
the Japanese interests at a lair price
tc be fixed, later after local investi
gation. The actual time of with
drawal also is to be determined in
future- exchanges.
Groups to Meet Again.
This concluded the disputed sub
jects except for the Tsing-Tao-Tsin-an-Fu
railroad, although it was said
the two groups would meet again to
morrow to take up "obscure details."
The Japanese said tonight they had
received Instructions from Toklo re
garding the road and intimated that
the salt mine settlement had helped
open the way for a breaking of the
deadlock.
Ma Soo'a announcement of a rail
road settlement was coupled with a
declaration that the Chinese and Jap
anese delegates were holding promul
gation of the agreement In abeyance
to gain the dramatic effect of a last
minute rapprochement. The accepted
terms, be said, provided for payment
for the road by China in installments
over 12 years. China has also agreed,
he declared, to appoint a Japanese
traffic manager and Japanese ac
countant. The British attitude on the Siberian
question was fbrecast In a measure
tonight by a delegation spokesman,
who said that, while his government's
interests In Siberia were perhaps lees
than those of other powers, it did
desire to see a square deal and ade
quate protection for the lives and in
terests of people In Siberia who were
lawfully there.
Hibernians Rap 4-Power Pact.
WASHINGTON. D. C. Jan. 13. The
national board of the Ancient Order

DUBLIN'. Jan. 2J. (By the Asso

ters today were Installed In offices
In the city hall. They were there in
the capacity of a provisional govern
ment, but Mansion house continued to
be headquarters of the "Irish repub
lic." Arthur Griffith, president of
the rall Eireann, also had his offices
there.
Armed sentries of the Irish repub
lican army were on duty outside the
city hall today when members of the
provisional government entered offi
cially to occupy the premises. Michael
Collins, head of the provisional gov
ernment, was one of the first to
arrive.
The new government was being
sharply pursued in the newspapers

It- has been nrettv elearlv recog

been suggested that later all Its pro
ceedings can bo validated In an act of
Indemnity.
Many Dublin traders today resumed
the selling of Belfast goods which
had lain in their stock since the
boycott was Imposed. In some cases,
however, republican police prevented
traders from selling on the ground
that In the past they had sought to
evade the prohibition and must now
obtain permits.
FREE
STATE
PROGRESSES
Significance Attached to Agree
ment of Collins, Craig.
LONDON. Jan. 23. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Announcement was
made tonight that substantial prog
ress had been made today concerning
arrangements for establishing the
new Irish free state. Utmost signifi
cance was attached In official circles
to the fact that before the free state
has come fully Into being. Sir James
Craig, Ulster leader, and Michael Col
lins have reached an agreement which
Is considered to be fraught with good
possibilities for Ireland's future.
It has transpired that Mr. Collins
and Sir James met Saturday in the
room of Winston Spencer Churchill,
the colonial secretary. After the ex
change of greetings, Mr. Churchill
withdraw so that they - might en
deavor to arrive at a mutually satis
factory agreement among themselves.
The agreement was reached after a
few hours.
Measures necessary for the transfer
of the executive responsibility to the
new Irish ministry were explored in
detail and good progress was made,
an announcement said.
IRISHMEN OF WORLD MEET
Creation of Scholarships for Chil
dren Is Advocated.
PARIS, Jan. 2S. (By the Associated
Press.) The world Irish congress, in
the absence of any concrete question
on Its programme, spent the first
day's session today In academic dis
cussion of education and the spread of
Irish culture abroad.
Eamonn de Valera invited rich
Irishmen in foreign countries to en
dow professorships In universities
and create scholarships for children
of the Irish race to complete their
education in Ireland.
The slowness of the congress to get
to work on definite plans was ex
plained by Its organizers as due to the
fact that the meeting was planned
before Ireland became a free state so
that naturally the programme had
to be radically altered. The idea of
Mr. de Valera and other leaders Is to
make use of the existing Irish organ
ization In every country to 'orm a
world league through which to work
for the spread of Irish culture, to edu
cate Irish descendants everywhere In
Irish history and help in Ireland's
economic Interests.
Mr. de Valera asked the delegates
to take pattern after the - United
States, where he said the Irish lan
guage was still kept alive. He de
clared also that through athletics the
Irish people would be able to make
their mark in all corners of the
t.'prld, since most of the great ath
letic champions bore Irish names.
Viscount's Auto Is Seized.
DUBLIN. Jan. 23. (By the Asso

of Ireland, and disap
peared with it. Another crowd seized

count's secretary. The chauffeurs

GENOA CONFERENCE
TO COME TOO SOON
America Prefers to Have Big
World Gathering Later.
ARMS SESSION IS TEST
1 -
Administration to Decide Whether
to Participate Before Result
on Navies) Is Ratified.
BY MARK SULLIVAN.
(Copyrig-ht. 1921. by the New York Evening
Post. Inc. Published by Arrangement.)
WASHINGTON. D. C. Jan. 33. (Spe
cial.) if the United States had been
consulted in advance about the date
of the Genoa conference we would
probably have recommended a time
much later than the March 8 date
now fixed. If there were any way
ta postpone the Genoa conference a
month or two it would make mora
simple the problem which our gov
ernment must now consider of
I whether or not to participate.
March 8 will bo Just about the
, middle of tho period when tho re-
suits or the present Washington con
ference will be debated in the sen
ate. Between the two there Is no
necessary connection. But It la
readily apparent that the senate de
bate on ratification of the results of
the present Washington conference
might be embarrassed or otherwise
affected by matters arising con
temporaneously in a world confer
ence at Genoa. No one can foresee
all the possible turns that the Genoa
conference may take. Some of these
turns tnight be of such a nature as to
give a handle to senators who don't
want us to participate in any kind of
world association at all.
Conference Held Test.
More fundamentally. It has been
a cardinal principle in the conduct by
Americana of the present Washington
conference that the things attempted
here must be completed and accepted
and wholly out of the way before we
take up other world affairs. It is
true the actual sessions of the present
conference will have ended a con
siderable period before March 8, but
the results arrived at by the confer
ence cannot be regarded as com
pletely achieved until after our senate
has ratified them.
About the time the Washington con
ference opened Ambassador Harvey,
in a public speech at London, made a
pointedly, adverse allusion . to the
Paris peace conference and said that
tho present conference was called "not
to .see . whether the nations of the
world agree upon one thing." Also
President Harding and Secretary
Hughes have by their conduct let It
be seen that they have always regard
ed the success of the present confer
ence as a preliminary test which
should determine America's willing
nesa or unwillingness to participate
in luture conrerence.
More Time Is Wanted.
It Is true that the present confer
ence already has achieved substan
tial success in agreeing upon the
main outline of the principles of Urn
ltation of naval armament, but It is
nevertheless also true that It would
be much more comfortable for Amer
lea if the success of the present con
ference could be more definitely and
finally assured before the calling of
tne Genoa conrerence and before the
even earlier necessity, which is upon
us right now, of giving an answer to
the invitation and saying definitely
whether wo will or will not partici
pate. Regardless of the date, another
aspect of the Genoa conference which
may affect adversely America's Incli
nation to participate in it is the an
nouncement of Premier Poincare of
France that the Genoa conference
must not take up the subject of Ger
man reparations. It has been more
or less a de'flnlte policy in our conduct
of foreign affairs that the German
reperations must be fixed before any
thing practicable can be done as to
other aspects of stabilizing the world
economically and politically. In short.
if the Genoa conference is to meet
and talk and end with the German
reparations unrevised, there is little
use of our participating in it. To do
so would be like attempting to build
the walls of a house before the foun
dation stones are made secure.
Russian Question Is Problem.
Finally, the mere presence of the
Russian government at the Genoa
conference will constitute a kind of
indirect recognition of the soviet. On
this subject our government has had
a definite policy different from that
of some European governments.
Whether or not. we are to recognize
the present Russian regime might
better be considered directly ' and
singly as a principal subject of
policy, either by ourselves alone or 'n
conference with other nations.
Altogether, the preparations for the
Genoa conference have not been man
aged in such a way as to make t
easy for our government to decide
the question of participation.
