Tokio. Sept 15, (By The Asso
ciated PressJ Newspaper reuprts
that Viscount IJchida, foreign min
ister, told memberKof thev'opposi-'
tion party onday that the fact that
America had not replied to the lat
est Japanese not regarding -the Is
land of Saghalien was considered
tantamount to American approval
of the Japanese position, are denied
at the foreign olfice. It is said there
that tKe foreign minister merely in
formed his callers that Japan had
answered the American note relative
to the presence of. Japanese forces
in the Russian section of the island.
There have been various press in
terpretations of Viscount Uchida's
Vmarks in answering a 'question
relative to Japanese children "In
Hawaii studving the Japanese
Janguage and possible objection on
tne part of America. lt is ohicially
stated that the foreign minister said
it was true that Japanese "children
were learning their mother tongue
outside of the publifi, schools in
ilawaii, and that personally, he saw
no reason why there should be any
interferencoin this work. He added
the matter had not been' subject to
negotiations between the American
and Japanese governments. ,
Reports that it ha been deckled
to withdraw Japanese troops from
Khabara vsk, Siberia, 'are-confirmed
by the foreign, office, which explains
that Khabarovsk was occupied be
cause of the fact thatiNikolaievsk,
at the moutlTbf the Amur river, also
was under control of Japanese armed
Lforces, but that Nikolajevsk ,is be
ing evacuatecr .oecause ot the ex
treme cold which revails there dur
ing the winkr months. The future
policy to beVpursued relative to the
occupation of thetwo cities depends
upon circumstances, it is said.
