Paris, March 5,

The "Matin" states that M. Picton, in a speech to the Foreign Affairs Committee, said Bolsheviki propaganda was growing in Siberia, where they were planning to plunder munitions. It became the Allies' duty to prevent these falling into the enemy's l:ands through the IJolsheviki. Japan could legitimately act alone,. but she preferred to act in concert with the Allies. President Wilson agreed that such action on Japan's part would not conflict with his announced principles. There was no question of taking advantage of Russia's plight in the Allies' interests, but the German penetration must be arrested. Millions of Russians were awaiting deliverance by Japan's inter-

vention

It .is understood that M. Pichon added that all the Allies were agreed u 4 pon Japanese intervention, and that only the details remained unsettled.
