'i Japan's Siberian Policy Two yean ago the Japanese p renter made the declaration that "Japan as absolutely no territorial ambiions in Siberia; she will not take a ingle square foot of territory, and he minute the Red menace is settled he will withdraw every soldier." Now he Japanese ambassador to the Unittd States has assured the Far East Jonference that the" military occupaion of Russian territory "is only a emporary measure and will naturally ome to an end as soon as a satisfac ory solution of the question shah iave been arranged with an orderly Russian government. It is the fixed ind settled policy of Japan to respect he territorial integrity of Russia to ibserve the principle- of non-intervention in the Internal affairs of that country." Commenting on Premier Ham's datemcnt of l;(20 the Louisville Post remarked at that time that it was not altogether promising, since "Japan is k> be the judge" of an 'orderly' condiion in Russia which would make withdrawal possible. Further the. utter lack ol any suggested time limit on the occupation reminded the Post that "England went into Egypt 25 or more years ago with no intention of staying ;herc, but England is in Egypt today." The Post was expressing the pre vailing newspnner sentiment on the Hava declaration of two years ago but it is just as good an indev to the pinions of the press on Baron Shidehara's declaration of last week. Japan's position is a "classic" one, the Nlew York Times reminds us, and tin Siberian question is obviously "no ne to start a shower of stones throwi "rom international glass houses." Tin eply of the Japanese government, i oitns out, "is much the same as tha vhich the English government fortj cars ago gave in regard to withdraw ig from Egypt." Even our own gov rnment "is always consumed wit nxiety to remove military pressure' rom Haiti, Santo Domingo and Nic; agua, and "to leave them free to d( elop their own institution, but some Sow the exact hour does not arrive." But in Japan's case it is a matte, f "a violated pledge," as many writ rs see it. The Providence Jour no ells the story thus: "The Japanese went into Siber: ;ith the Americans, British an'rench during the war. The Czechc 'ovaks, fighting by the side of th 'ussians were then in danger and v.V able military stores at Vladivosto ceded guarding. The agreement wr hat each, nation should furnish ap proximately seven thousand troop. hich were to he withdrawn when thriginal purpose of the expedition h een carried Out.

" 'ffly ! nfcurpe(\' the'- trad r. the regionAw'occupy',' taken ov? he fisheries IK in dther ways in ringed on Isian rights under th ruise of self-protection." Thus Japan in the opinion of th? Washington t*ost "stands inthe att! ude of changing the nature of the ei -and of her troops, contrary to he oromise to the United States." Nevei heless the Utica Press holds that "th 'acts, so far as known," sustain Jo an's contention "that maintenance < icr forces in eastern Siberia is net ssary because the country is in --ordered and chaotic state." Ac .dingly it is reasonable thatevac tion should not be undertaken "unt; here is a stable, responsible govei lent established there." But "who is to be the judge of \vhml it ical stability' is?" asks the Lc igton Leader, or "when it is attainc< id what Japanese security demands { is perfectly evident that, restin j or promise of ultimate withdrawal < uch a basis, Japan can remain i 'astern Siberia as long as it suits he mrpose." That purpose, as the Louis ille Post sees it, is not territoria' vnMUii, iill I- i-U |>ci/ UiU IIIOIIIM lussia owes her. That she will have, nd the Post thinks Japan has 110 ider ?f withdrawing her troops until sheets it. "It is idle to talk of any peoph establishing a strong stable govern nent while a foreign army occupies h< ir territory and hampers and sui> erts the governmental efforts of theople," declares' the Wati-rhurj Conn.) Republican and "it is obviou hat Japan continues to occupy east ' n Siberia and foHow the same nolle T he has been following the Russian ill never be able to establish a goanient that Japan will consider si; !e.' To get around the difficult hieh the Philadelphia Public I,edg? nd.) also sees in determining "U ability of any government anywhei - an unstable Russia," the Spring eld Republican suggests "interna onal investigation, from time to linn f the need of continued military oc upation by foreign troops." While there is "nothing sensational' 1 the policy announced by Japan'.epresentatives, since "she doesn' ir/,., r.~ .. . i? i ? i. *vji jia n utur tor iivi *ci>ii t-iin iit, he Baltimore News sees a distinct ain in the fact that "Japan stand: armally committed" to that policy l?t\ L'ason of its incorporation*in the roc rd of the Far East conference, and we need not impute any motive on tie part, of Japan for going back on or word." "On the background looms ig, plain and unmistakable the solmn engagement that Japan will 'rcpeet the territorial Integrity' of Rus in," and since the United States has officially accepted this statement at is full value" the Minneapolis Triune thinks the "American citizen annot well do otherwise" for in the ame position the United States would countenance any "going beind the returns' to appraise its sin cerity." #<i The promise "must be taken on 2 faith," th# Pittsburgh Qazette Times ^ agrees even though, as the Wilkes Bane Record says, it "may mean ab- ? solutely nothing." But in the opinion ^ of the New York Post it is "the right J| and the duty of Americans to see that ( \ the promise is translated into action, for "to see that the near future does not get itself, prolonged into an in- ? definite future is the least we owe to ^ the Russian people."

REAL COMMUNITY BUILDING Consider the tumbleweed and the oak. \ For a season the tumbleweed grows green. It flourishes in spring and summer. Then cooie the fall and the early gales of winter. What of the tumbleweed? Hither and yon it flies across the prairies, the sport of every vagrant breeze. No \ wind is too light to stir it, no ofc*itruction too small to halt it. I But, does the oak go swirling around, a moving part of the autumnal landscape? Not that any one has noticed. The oak stays put It roots deep in the soil. It is a member of a colony of oaks that have grown up together, that have weathered the winds of winter together. The tumbleweed serves a punpose if it calls attention to the permanence of the oak, and if it drives home the fact that the practice of rooting deepdnto the soil has its virtues. In these times there seem to he a great many men of the tumbleweed variety being swept hither and thither. There are so many tumbleweeds scurrying about that the oaks may be overlooked. Start to count them though and there are plenty of oaks?men who have struck their roots deep into their home soil. One of the present day problems is whether it is worth _.t-: 1 _ x _ - .. ? - * - wiiiie io attempt tne tasic 01 increasing the number of oaks and decreasing the number of tumbleweeds. The first thing to be noticed about the oak is that it is of slow growth. It does not spring up to a day. The next thing is that it establishes itself by taking root. \ ; Community building is oak growing. Raising colonies of tumbleweeds will not do the tnck. Before men begin to root deeply in a community they . must have an abiding interest in it. That community must be more than a chance fence comer into which they have been whirled. Too many communities are simply stopping places for the people that live in them. In driving home the fact that community building brought about by a real community life is a constructive work, the present day Community Service movement has performed a distinct service. Community building means more oaks. A lack of it means more, tumbleweeds.
