SOVIET RECOGNITION BY JAPAN DOUBTFUL Move Months Off Despite Favor- able Public Sentiment Tokio, Apri! 11.—Japanese recog- | nition of the Russian Soviet go\nu-‘ ment is still many months off, in spite | of the widespread sentiment in favor| of such a step. The movement has cnjoyed a revival in recent weeks fol owing the resumption of relations b tween Britain and Russia and Italy and Russia. There is small possibility that the Japanese government will take any steps toward closer relations with 1ussia beforg the general election for | the House of Representatives May 10. Irom an unimpeachable source it is learned that Baron Keishiro Matsui, foreign minister, and his colleagues in the cabinet do not wish to add a for- cign issue of such importance as Rus- sian recognition to the alrcady im- posing array of domestic issues which complicat: their position before the clectorate. Moreover, by until May the government will able to follow the pending Anglo- Itussian negotiations, the outcome of which will greatly influence Japanese policy. 1In spite of the insistence of a considerable body of public opin- ion, and most of the leading papers, that immediate action be taken to es- tablish Russo-Japanese relations o ial ecircles tI kepticism the Soviet’s intentions, press the opinion that t labor min- delaying a decision | be Russia before resuming formal diplo- matig relations. This possibility, how- | ever, is discounted in official quarters. It is taken for granted there that the attitude of Moscow has been consid- erably stiffened by British and Italian recognition, and it is believed that the Russians will refuse to discuss with Japan any agreement recognition. One minor issue, however, will claim attention before the Japanesc elections, This is the question of fishing rights along the coasts of Si- beria, which must be tackled before the annual fisheries auctions for the coasts of the maritime province of Siberia are held in April.
