The United States, Secretary Hughes Made it clear in statement to the far the minutes of the Washington con- ference yesterday, has not changed itseposition with regard to the with- drawal of forelgn troops from Si- berfa. In reviewing the Japanese statement that it was Japan's inten- tion eventually to withdraw_ troops from Siberia, Secretary Hughes_ex- pressed satisfaction that such ~was their intention. At his suggestion a resolution was adopted _providing that the statements of both the Jap- anese and the United States with re- gard to Siberia should be spread upon the minutes of the Washington con- ference. The American statement on Siberia Was read by Secretary Hughes. At the outset he referred to the Japanese declaration of intention presented Monday and continued: “These assurances are taken to mean that. Japan does not seek, through her inilitary operation inj E to impair the rights of the respec or te ymereial P4l-| for her own van N > use the Siberian fisheries, or to set up clusive expioitati cither of the resources of Sakbalin or of the maritime province.

Tha question of the {United States joining in this com- id o have beea thor- ed by the President Hughes and the Sen- leaders, many of whom are members of the committees deal- ing with foreign relations. if Amer- ica were to participate in the estal lished arbitration commission undér the treaty of Versallles, it was said that action within three weeks would be necessary. Because of the recog- uized hostility of many republican senators to any sort of participation in engagements of the Versailles treaty, the consensus of opinlon.at cany ecretary ate apd Hous: that action under the treaty of Ber- lin would be impracticable. . Secretary Hughes was said to have expressed the opinion, with concur- {rence of the congressional leaders, that negotiation of a new treaty with the German government to get up the war_claims arbitration commission would be a simpler solution. The President took the question under ad- visement and his visitors said they ibelieved that the new treaty could be prompily negotiated and ratified with {little ditficulty.
