Washington. Joint action between Japan, the entente powers and America Ameri-ca in Siberia is assured. Japan has found acceptable the American Am-erican proposal, which primarily looks to the'-aid of the Czecho-Slovaks, now operating in Siberia, and after exchanges ex-changes between Tokio aid Washington, Washing-ton, winch have cleared nil doubtful points and removed any possiblity of future misunderstanding, a complete agreement has been reached. The plan of operation will be put into execution at once. Last week intimations were given in official quarters that thepresident was soon to issue a statement explaining the plans of the United States for participation partici-pation in the expedition to give military mili-tary aid to Russia. When, however, the Japanese government found it necessary nec-essary to call upon the state department depart-ment for explanation of some features of the American proposal, the statement state-ment was withheld. Presumably, now that a satisfactory understanding has been reached, the statement will be issued. Consequently, all that it is possible now to say is that in the beginning, at least, the international agreement must find its expression in combined military mili-tary activity, and cable advices have recorded the gathering of small bodies of entente troops at points in China convenient for dispatch into Siberia. Paokuei-Ching, the provincial governor gover-nor at Sei Lung King, has been selected select-ed to command the considerable body of Chinese troops which has been gathered in Manchuria, and it is understood under-stood that his force will act under the direction of the Japanese commander-in-chief. |
