At the present, however, German Influence had permeated almost all of Euro pean Russia and was tending to invade Siberia, which nan miie UlUC), view with the gravest apprehension. consequently intervention had. been discussed seriously at home and H.oroaa. In order to prevent misunderstandings arising from false reports, said the foreign minister, the government welcomed the opportunity to make the statement that Japan was not proposing or initiating intervention. He continued: "The imperial government neither suggested nor proposed military action in Siberia.

Nevertheless it regards with gravest apprehension the eastward movement of Germany. Hitherto Japan has received no Joint allied proposal, but if such a proposal is received it will be considered most carefully. This will be especially the case if the Siberian situation becomes worse, requiring decisive steps on behalf of the interests of the Allies in which event the imperial government will not hesitate to take prompt and adequate measures in a wholehearted manner. "It is desired to make it clear, however, that the imperial government does not regard Russia as an enemy. Japan will not adopt an.

aggressive policy toward Russia, and does not hesitate to declare unre serverly and sincerely the deep and warm sympathy of the nation for the Russian people." In conclusion, the foreign minister said that the despatching of armed forces to Siberia was a serious question, requiring exhaustive deliberation and extreme caution.
