Tokio, June 27.
With reference to the announcement by the Japanese Government of the withdrawal of Japanese troops from Siberia, Mr. Antonoff, manager of the Dalta News Agency here, made in effect the following statement It is not unlikely that, after the completion of the evacuation of Japanese troops of Siberia, the Vladivostok Government will as a matter of course fall and the White Guards will naturally vanish out of sight. Tt is our greatest desire that friendly and peaceful intercourse as well as commercial relations between Japan and Russia shall be furthered more strongly than ever. It is expected that Russo-Japanese megotiations will be reopened to discuss problems concerning commerce and other matters, and that the site of the negotiations will be selected somewhere else than Dairen. Though I am not in a position to deciare that the Chita Government will not be controlled by the Soviet Government in the future, it is most probable that the former will endeavour to maintain the Far Eastern Republic as a federal state—Eastern News Agency.
