LAST YEAR.
Political Supremacy in China i* Basis.
PETKOGRAB, Dec. 21—Text of the
secret ltusso-Japanese treaty dated
March 3 1916, providing for an offen
sive alliance of those two powers
against any other power attempting
political supremacy in China, was made
public by the Workmen’s and
soldiers’ Soviet today.
The statement said it was believed
this pact referred to the United States.
The treaty was signed by former
Foreign Minister Sazonoff and Baron
ilotono, Japanese M inester to Russia,
who later became foreign minister. It
expires in July 1921.
A high foreign office leader today
declared that the peace literature cir
culated by the Soviet hod “greatly in
fluenced" Germans on the Russian
front. These Germans, it was declared
•’no longer desire to fight on any front."
The Soviet has been revealing all
secret treaties and agreements of form
er Russian regimes.
"The contracting parties recognize
that the interests of either side de
mand the defence of China from politi
cal domination by any third power
whatsoever cherishing hostile inten
tions toward Russia and Japan, and
therefore undertake, whenever cir
cumstances necessitate, to enter into
open relations based on full confidence,
in order tooonjointly to take necessary
steps to prevent the advent in China
of such a state of affairs."
Other articles are published as fol
lows:
Art. II—In the event that as a con
sequence of any measures undertaken
by mutual consent by Russia and Japan
on the basis of the preeeeding article,
any third power, as foreseen for art I,
should declare war aigainst Russia ,or
Japan, the other contracting party shall
on the first demand of its ally, come
to its add. Each contracting party
binds itself not to make peace with
the common enemy without obtaining
the agreement of its ally.

Art. Ill—The conditions on which

contracting parties.

Japan Anxious to Strike at Germany
WASHINGTON, DEC 21—Japan is
anxious to strike at Germany by oc
supying : beria. according to advices
reaching here today. This information
coupled with Russian publication of an
alleged Russo-Japanese agreement to
pounce or. any nation attempting su
premacy in China created profound
impression hi official and diplomatic
<l uarters.
Some allied diplomate were said to
favor the Siberian move in view of the
possibility of Teuton domination of all
the Russias, even the east. They
pointed out that the American consul
at Vladivoetock had said there is need
far troops at that port.
Confirmation of the Russo-Japanese
pact was not immediately obtainable
here.
However, it was stated that in so far
os China, is now concerned the Japan
ese are discouraging large military
preparations in that nation, and that
official feelers have been put forward
with a view to American-Japanese co
operation in China’s military, economic
and financai problems.
Presdent Wilson; it was suggested,
will be the determining factor in the
decision as to whether Japanese troops
shall Invest Vladivostock, provided that
it is the actual wish of Japan, as re
ported no knowledge of the Treaty.
WASK — .GTON, Dec. 21—American
officials said today they had no know

against America. ‘ end great
Britain in the "Flar East" was not borne
out by the text at the published arti
cles. There is a possibility that the
treaty referred to is the special con
vention concluded between Russia and
Japan at about the same time as the
so-called secret treaty. It was general,
ly assumed here that the treaty con
tained some secret provisions, but its
purpose was described as being to
.safeguard the rights of Japan and
Russia in the For East, to reconcile
all outstanding issues between them
and generally to follow the lines of the
Anglo-Japanese alliance.
At the time it was supposed the
secret articles provided for the sole
by Russia to Japan of all the Man
churian railroads south of Harbin, the
transfer to Japan of navigation rights
in the Sugari river, and the extension
of fishing rights off the coast of Si
beria.
It is improbable that the United
States government alone will make any
effort to secure an explanation of the
meaning and purpose of these secret
articles fro(m the principals, but it is
rather expected than one or the other
of them voluntarily will come forward
with a statement in that line. (Boston
Traveler Dec. 21, 1917.)
