BUHAH-SAYS WAR THREATENS GEM STATE MAN CHARGES NIPPONESE NIP-PONESE WITH STIRRING ROW WITH CHITA REPUBLIC Idaho Senator Claims to See Japanese Complication That Will Drag the United States Into the Trouble Washington. Dangerous complications complica-tions are brewing in the Far East which may lead to war and involve the United States because of its ratifications rati-fications of the four power Pacific treaty, Senator Iiorah, Idaho, soon will inform tho senate. The recent Japanese-Chita rj'ish is indicative of the situation and Borah will charge Japan with responsibility for this trouble. Borah holds that Japan stirred up the row with tho Chita republic which culminated in rout of the Chita "red" troops with fairly heavy casualties. Tolcio messages claim the Japanese ordered the reds to retire. Refusing to retire they were shot down. The Chita representatives here say tho Japanese played in bad faith; that they have put "agent provocateurs" in Chita to stir up trouble and thu3 furnish a pretext for longer Japanese occupation there. Borah, who will undoubtedly be joined by other treaty opponents, will indulge in a bit of "I told you so." He will argue that Japan's course in tho Russian territory more Iran likely will spread to Pacific island territory thus calling for action under the treaty almost at Its birth. If Japan pursues its Chita tactics, extending them to Sakhalin, or otherwise oth-erwise seeks to tighten her grasp on Russian land, then naught but warfare war-fare can result, Borah believes. And warfare in the east, he feels, cannot but involve Japan's allies of the Pacific Pa-cific pact. He feels hat trouble between Japan and Russia is inevitable under Japanese Jap-anese methods and holds that the Japanese are now applying to Russian territory tactics which they long applied ap-plied to China. |
