NEW YORK, 26th May.
The Tokio correspondent of the Chicago News interviewed Count Okuma, who declared that if Europe and America understood Japan's motives and gave .her moral support, Japan would be ready to _ disarm in Siberia, and try to improve conditions and open the continent to commerce. "But," he added, "if they are unable to reach an understanding, Japan will withdraw, leaving the world to face the consequences. It is thus necessary for Japan and England to do something foi the settling of conditions .in the Orient, and they would welcome the co-operation of the United ■States. The League of Nations, despite its possible defects, is a broad movement towards universal peace."
