TOKIO, January 21.—Japan's policy in Siberia, 28 conducted by the pres- ent ministry, has been a crime rather than & fallure, Viscount Takaaki Kato, leader of the Kenseikal, or op- position party, is quoted by the press today as declaring at a general meet- ing of the party yesterday, held in preparation for the reopening of the Eet today. “Japan should have withdrawn her troops as soon as relfef of the Czecho- Slovaks was “attained,” Viscount Kato asserted. “Othirwise, she should have dispatched a more power- ful force to sweep the bolsheviki from Eastern Siberia and aid in the establishment of a strong anti-bol- shevik government.” Cont Many Lives. count Kato asserted the FEast Siberian campaign had cost many lives and involved the expenditure of 400,000,000 yen and therefore was criminal. He said he considered the occupation of the whole of Northern Saghalien and the institution of a military administration as a guaran- tee against another Nikoloievak massacre to be unnecessary, and Ja- pan would regret it. “There are about now . E two divisions in_the vicinity of Vladivostok,” Viscount Kato declared. ‘*‘The Rus- sian administration in Vladivostok has recognized the Chita govern- ment &8 holding suzerainty over east- ern Rumeia and the value of the re- peated declarations of the Japanesc army commander is thus roduced to nothing. (General Oi, who recently was relieved of the command of the Japanese troops in Siberia, declared repeatedly he would not tolerate soviet rule in any of the regions oc- cupied by Japanese troops.) As com- munjcation between Vladivostak and tke interior has been cut off there no necessity at Vladivostok and they withdrawn immediately. Urges Cutting Expenses. The Kokumin-To, or nationalist party, in a manifesto issued today condemns the ministry as not pos- sessing a fixed policy on any great question. It urges retrenchment in military expenditure in order to per- mit internal reforms. “Imperialism no longer is consis- tent with the Japanese spirit and must be replaced by industrialism with the aim of economic expansion,” says the manifesto. “Japan's politics are steeped in old thoughts and suf- fering from debility. The people must awaken.” Premier Hara and Foreign Minis wer Uchida will deliver their formal addresses to the diet tomorrow. SNOW IN LOS ANGELES.
