JAP INTERVENTION
IS NOT PROPOSED
Tokio, Tuesday, March 26.—Japan
has proposed no milittary action in
Siberia, although if such a move
should be suggested jointly by the
entente allies it would receive the
most careful consideration, said For
eign Minister Motono in addressing
a joint session of parliament today on
that Japan was not proposing or in
the eve of its adjournment.
After reviewing the present condi
tions in Russia, the foreign minister
said the Japanese government was
not concerned as to what form of
government Russia adopted. At
present, however, German influence
has permeated almost all of European
Russia, and was tending to invade
Siberia, which Japan must view with
the gravest apprehension. Conse
quently intervention had been dis
cussed seriously at home and abroad.
In order to prevent misunderstand
ing arising from false reports, said
the foreign minister, the government
welcomed the opportunity to state
that Japan was not priposing or in
itiating intervention. He continued:
“The imperial government neither
suggested nor proposed military ac
tion in Siberia. Nevertheless it re
gards with gravest apprehension the
eastward movement of Germany.
Hitherto, Japan has leceived. no joint
allied proposal, but if such a propos
al is received it will be considered
most carefully, especially if the Si
berian situation becomes worse, re
quiring decisive steps on behalf of
the allies, in which event the impe
rial government will not hesitate to
take prompt and adequate measures
in a whole-hearted manner.
In conclusion the foreign minister
said that the dispatching of armed
forces to Siberia was a serious ques
tion, requiring exhaustive delibera
tion and extreme caution.
To advertise in the Independent is
to talk business to a great majority
of the propective buyers of Newport.
