Show ALLIES WILL ASK JAPANESE TO TAKE NECESSARY STEPS LONDON, March 2. According to the Daily Mail, it is understood that the allies have decided to ask the Japanese Jap-anese to take any steps necessary for the protection of the allies in the far east. Stress is laid on the fact that the British and Japanese governments hold that Japan's intervention in the Russian Rus-sian affairs is not to be construed as an act of hostility to Russia or the Russian government. Its purpose is to safeguard menaced allied interests, and to protect stores and munitions at Vladivostok and to assist Russia to lighten and eventually lift the burden of the German yoke. |
