Matiukata and others of the elder statesmen are'about to confer at To lilo on a settlement of the lone-stand-Ine agitation for the removal of the Teraurhl cabinet, whoso resignation Is expected at an early date. Tlio arlous pnrtlct arc inniiciiv critic for power and n coalition cabinet Is pos-l sible. The Siberian niicstlnn Is In abejance pending a domestic settle ment. Washington, Match 19. The Japanese embassy, In announc lng that no decision had been reached In Toklo on the contemplated Intervention In Siberia, said that Japan still la giving the most careful consideration to the "fundamental" questions Involved, which do not re late to expediency, but to the vital In terests of Japan, of the Allies ajid of Hussln Although .Tnpin Ins not nnproachsl the United States Government con rernlng financial assistance. In the event tho Toklo Government decides to occupy eastern Siberia. It was lenned n an authoritative quartet that she would epect to receive loans from the American Treasury to cover her ar purchases In this country. As President Wilson Is opposed to Japanese or any other Intervention In Siberia. It was considered doubtful If this Government would feel justified In assisting Japan to make effect he her intervention. It was believed In well-Informed circles that the possl. ble denial of material suppott by tho United States Is largely responsible for the delay In announcing a decision at Toklo. Would Need Funds Japan, it was learned, would not lm- (lerinan Ambissador, and she had u mediately need financial aid from this Itched S3000 from him nt one time She countiy, but If the occupation should I professed It was a loan, officials said Inke nlace In lareo force and comnllca. I tlons, Including an upilslng ot the Itusslan people ugalnst the Invasion' should ttko place, there was believed to be a probability that Japan would be compelled to call upon the Allies and America for assistance In pro vlslonlng and maintaining her aimj in Siberia. After a call at the White Houie to day Senator Lewis, of Illinois, the Democratic whip of the Senate, catcd his belief that President would make known to the counti soon the attitude of the Government lonum wiu jvussmlii aiiuauuu, oe null It was safe to say tho President would ! fulfill his promise mat mere would be i no secret diplomacy. A statement issued today by Boris BakhmctefT, the Russian ambassador appointed by Kerensky, Indicated that Russian dlplothats Anally have reached conclusions which are hostile to Japanese Intervention, although that subject was not specifically mentioned In the formal statement. The ambassador asserted that the liberation of Russia from the violent peace which threatened both the dls ruptlon of the country and the extinc tion of tho hope of freedom was "con ceivable only with the co-operation and direct support of the Allies," but in Russian diplomatic circles it was asserted that the "dliect sunnort" dlil not contemplate Japanese interven- United Slates Aids Inspiration That such Intervention really was not In tho mind of the ambassador was believed further to have been manifested by his concluding words, to tho effect that the embassy had found inspiration and confidence In the attitude and assistance of the United States. This statement was the first author lied by Ambassador nakhmeteft since the rise of the Rolshevlkl to power, when he denounced them and their uro gram, it Indicated that the diplomatic representatives of the Kerensky govern ment have not entirely lost hope, Tho statement was thought to Indi cate also that the assistance destied by Russians Is not foreign Intervention, such as Japan contemplates, but encour agement and material assistance, which would have to be given either In Si beria or In the Caucausus, where gov ernment and army do not recognize the Bolshevik peace, or both.

Claims that the food administration has greatly restricted the profits of the pickers were made' before the Sen ate Agricultural Committee today by Joseph P. Cotton, head of the meat division of the food administration This was the answer of the food ad ministration to charges which have been made that the packers have benefited by the acts of tho food administration. Cotton told the members of the com mittee tint through tho licensing power of the food administration the profits of the packers on every dollar are lim ited to two and a half cents. Further more, he ssld that their entire profit la limited to 9 per cent of their In vested capital. "This Is the first time ail' one ever took nn thing away from the pickers," Cotton declares He then pointed out that profits before the pres ent contiol have run as high as 30 per cent. Members of the committee took ex ceptions to Cotton's belief that these icatrlctlons worked 11 hardship upon the packer Senator Gronna. showed by his questions nnd cross-examination that pickers nre allowed to make 9 per cent upon borrowed money, for which they are palng but 4 or E per cent. Senator 'I hnmpson, of Kansas, also took excep tions to the amount nf profits allowed Cotton then explained that It had been all based upon the normal pre-war profit theor set forth by the. Piesldent and that It was the intent to allow the packers the same profits which they en jicil before the Huropean war broke out As the chief purchaser of meats for the VUles, Cotton admitted that tho food administration has the power to control the prices of pork. He claimed, how ever, thn tthe price which the food ad ministration fixed as n minimum was reached upon the advice of producers. Thus far Cotton said the food admin istration Ins not Interfered with tho beef mnikct. He stated that it was his belief however, that before very long thn Allied purchases ot beef will be so Fie it that It will bo possible for the food administration to control the prices. The present estimates of the Allies' pur chases of beef for the future aro enor mous. Cotton declared1 He stated that If the time did come when the food ad ministration might be able to fix the price of beef consumers and producers villi both be given equal opportunity to have hearings.
