(I'nltt'd Press-Htsff Correspondent.)
Tokyo July l. Uffltilul alienee
envelopes tho results of t ho great
cabinet and foreign office conference
which deliberated on Japan's policies
In respect to various countries on the
Continent of Asia.
While Iho Foreign Offlco lind oil-
liinally planned to give on outline of
the results In un official statement
to tlio press tho idea wan abandoned
foi Home reaKon. It Is however pos-
sible to form a very accurate opin-
ion of most of the decisions which
were made from talk" with well In-
formed officials In a position fj
know.
The deciHlon to 'withdraw ' the
troops from Siberia except tihe
Amur region and Saghalicn; and
from tho Kwantung railway van re-
garded as a victory for the premier-
and tho Foreign Office over the mili-
tarists for while Uncivil offtclals
have for some time pust been . anx-
ious to take such action they have
been thwarted by the Iron opposition
of the War Department. I am Inform-
ed however from an reliable source
that this action was. suggested by no
less a person than Minister of War
fl-cneral Tanaka even though oppo-
sition remains In the General Staff
wi'ilch continues to harbor many ra
actiouary militarists of tliopre-war
school.
Whether General Tanalia's action
Indicates that the more enlightened
roldien were finally able to see that1
continued presence of Japanese
troops in Serbia was bound to lead
to war cannot be staled. Such a
war would involve enorm is forces
and expense. Furthermoi. contrary
to the former war with Russia the
Russians would this time be fired
with patriotism tj drive out the in-
vaders while the Japanese would ha
lukewarm to say the least.
; Since the conference has broke up
tJhe situation in Siberia has changed
1V capture by the Kappellst forces
of Vladivostok and neighboring terri-
tory. The withdrawal policy was
made contingent on the Chita Gov-
ernment's accepting certain Japan-
ese demands chief among -which
wa3 tho undertaking of maintaining
peace in Siberia. It would seem as if
now that Vladivostok has passed out
of the control of the Chita Govern-
ment this might make it difficult
for Japan to accept any guarantee
which it might be willing to make
but a higft: official informs me that
this will -make no difference and
that Japan remains In spite of
changed conditions willing to with-
draw her troops on Chita's assur-
ance of maintenance of order and
that a high official will soon be sent
ti Siberifl. to conduct the necessary
negotiations. . "
As migh be expected -accusations
have been made that the Japanese
militarists engineered or at least
were privy to the Kappellst coup In
order that the withdrawal of troops
might be prevented. On the other
band if Japan sticks to her program
as outlined It will show that she Is
making an honest attempt to get out
of Siberia with fairly clean hands
and a tangled point In Asian politico
will thus have been brought a great
step nearer solution.
Queen Victoria was at one lime
an enthusiastic amateur actress.'
