JAPAN PERSISTS
IN PACIFIC CLAIM
Insist? on Possession
Marshall and Caroline
Groups of Islands
ASKS NO CHINESE LAND
IJy the Associated Press
Prl, Feb 8 Baron Maklno, senior
Japanese delegate to the Peace Confer
ence, lias made public a statement as
to Japan'u position at the conference
He outlines tho main facts In the his
tory of the last twenty years since the
Chlno-Japanese war, describing Ger
many's efforts to establish herself In the
Far East and giving In some detail the
claims of Japan to Pacific Inland groups
located north of tho Equator.
Referring to the Marshall and the
Caroline groups of Islands as peopled
by
wua and virtually savage tribes.
Baron Maklno says
"Wo claim tho right to occupy these
Islands for purposes of peaceful develop
ment. A national sense of dignity In
spires the whole people of Japan to the
conviction that any other dlsixisltlon
would be n reflection on us, and the
handing over of the supervision of these
Islands would be a Just recognition ot
what services we rendered In maintain
ing tho commerce of the Pacific and
assisting our allies In tho Indian Ocean
and the Mediterranean.
"We contend, and shall continue to
contend, that Japnn should control the
Islands north of the Equator and that
tho future of tho wild tribes Inhabiting
the Islands must depend upon tho de
velopment of their civilization, a de
velopment which Japan most certainly
will not retard."
After outlining the suereslve sur
renders by Jnpjn In the interests of
peace after tho Chinese war and the
waiving of nil money Indemnity follow
ing the war with Itussla, tho statement
comes up to tho taking of Tslng-Tao
from Germany after Germany had re
fused to accept the ultimatum nf Au
gust, 1914, under which Japan demanded
that Germany vacato Tslng-Tao.
"Japan Is now pledged to return tn
China this harbor and port built with
German money, together with the ter
ritory of Klao-Chau, which China will
receive eighty years rooner than she
could possibly have fcecured It," the
statement continues. "Otherwise the
treaty of 1515, under which this restora
tion Is to be mada, contains no secret
clauses and an agreement entered Into
in September, 1918. regarding future
Chlno-Japanese co-operation In Shantung
contains no stipulation which Is more
or less than a Just and mutually help-
tui settlement of outstanding questions,
"These documents, with all their
clauses, have been laid before the Pow
ers, Including America. Japan docs not
seek more than a fair division in this
work of development. We realize that
a great change has taken place in the
dealing!! between the nations to be rep
resented In the league of nations. If
that league Is to be of any value Its
rules must prohibit selfish aggression,
exploitation anu discrimination. We
seek no territory In China and ask only
for friendly co-operation and the main
tenance of peaceful relations."
After a brief reference to Siberia,
In which the Baron poirjts out that
Japanese troops were sent with their
own agreement with those of the United
States and the Allies, he says:
"We have now withdrawn the major
portion of these troops and we will be
glad when the day arrives on which
all troops may be withdrawn and an
orderly government set up In Itussla."
QUERIES ALLIES ON EMBARGO
United States Sends Inquiries to

Wathlnzton. Feb. 8 fliv A T v Tn.
qulries have been sent bv the State De
partment to Great Britain. Trance and
Italy concerning the British Import em
bargo, the French cartel system and the
ii n nan uyeiem ot government supervi
sion of purchases, all of which have an
effect on American Industries.
The British embargo has been the
subject of warm debate In the Senate,
where there Is pending a resolution by
Senator Weeks, of Massachusetts, ask
ing for Information from the State De
partment, and It was learned today that
various complaints against It have been
received by the State Department from'
manufacturers. Protests have been
based upon the claim that operation of
the embargo Involves discrimination.
Officials said today no evidence of
discrimination had been presented, and
unless discrimination existed the United
States would have little ground upon
which to base any protest, Inasmuch as
It was. recognized that the countries of
Europe were compelled to protect them
selves during the readjustment of their
Industries to a peace basis.

Russia with as much credit as pos
sible. Want to Get Out of Russia
The controlling influence in cre
ating this attitude- on tho part of
tho administration is no doubt the
military situation in Ru3sia. In the
Archangel-Murmansk expeditionary
forces the Rolshcviki have virtual
hostages from the Allied Powers. It
will be difficult, if not impossible,
to save those men unless Whlto and
Herron reach an understanding with
tho Bolsheviki at the coming conference.
On the other hand, acceptance by I
the Bolsheviki of the Allied proposal
to confer is most conciliatory in
tone, and this has greatly encour
aged the Americans and British
here, who desire, above all things,
to get out of Russia and begin a'
new approach to the Russian prob
lem by attempting to aid and re
store the country.
While the Allied military situa
tion in Russia apparently is ah im
possible one, the economic situation
of Russia under the Bolsheviki is
equally impossible, and the Bolshe
viki themselves recognize it.
No other explanation is possible
for the highly conciliatory message
from Tchitchcrin.
From that message one would ex
pect Russia to send to the confer
ence a counterpart, if it has him,
of White, the genial, rotund philoso

He was made professor of applied Chrlr

years later.
Herron held on nt thp college, how
