FCLARES BARRING OFU.S.REALISSUE ecognition of Siberian Re- public Second to Part in Commerce, Says Wood. The most Important matter fin merica’s relations to Siberia is not hould be recognized, but whether erica 18 to be “barred by some ther nation” from the immensely ich commercial opportunities sure to e developed there in the next few fears, Junius B. Wood, representative bt The Star at the arms conference and ar east investigator, told 350 members hnd guests of the City Club at yester- *s forum luncheon. “Siberia has great stretches of rich arable land,” Mr. Wood sald, “and enough untouched timber to [supply the world for year: Gold, ofl, coal and other minerals abound. controls both of [vostok terminal of the Transsiberian rallway, and the mouth of the Amur river, Siberia’s great waterway, which is navigable for 2,000 miles into the interior. Looks Like Long Stay. *“Japan says she must keep troops in Siberia,” Mr. Wood continued, “to protect her citizens there from dis- order. Inasmuch as the only dis- order occurs where the Japanese control, it looks like a There are many rea®ons why Japan should wish to retain control of the sections of Siberia she now holds, Mr. Wood said. “The territory claimed by the Far Eastern Republic, part of which is held by the Japanese, is a rich’and fartile land,, capable of producing im- mense crops when modern machinery is available,” the speaker said. ' “Be- cides this territory, which extends westward from Vladivostok and along the northern boundary of China, there remaln the great barren regions of upper Siberla. The territory claimed by the Far Eastern Republic is about the size of Texas and California com- bined, but the rest of Siberia is nomi- nally’ under the control of soviet Russta. “The section under Moscow's control also Is immensely rich in minerals, fisheries and" forests. Japan is also staking claims in this section, but these claims result in conflict with Moscow and not with the Far Eastern Republic. i “It is in this upper section that ‘Washington Vanderlip's concessions are located. They are immensely Is Stable Republic. Mr. Wood asserted that the Far Eastern Republic was as stable as could be expected when it had to use nearly all its resources in fighting off invaders and revolutionists. *“The problems have been immense” he said, “yet I question whether Lloyd George or Clemenceau could have handled them more effectively under the circumstances.” The Far Eastern Republic has a written constitution, Mr. Wood said; the franchise is extended to all over eighteen, regardless of sex, religion, property or politics, and the rights of private property are respected. The land and all natural resources, he added, are held by the state and Jeased for private use for a rental which brings in a return equivalent to taxes. The church and state are separated, public education is com- pulsory, as far as facilities exist, and compulsory military service also is enforced. Bridge Building Industry. ‘Bridge building is one of the great- est industries of the republic, Mr. ‘Wood said, from the fact that the invading and revolutionary~ forces have destroyed every one of.the 600 dbridges on the Transsiberian rail- road at least cnce, and many of them several times. “The railroad,” he said, “js the life artery of the country. It is held by the government, but, in- stead of being a r nue producer, is a great expense. When I left there last July the railroad men had not been paid their wages for eleven months, but had been issued enough iMOST SEVERE.
