In proceedings at Washington between November, 1921, and February, 1922, of the Conference on Limitation of Armaments and Pacific and Far Eastern Problems there was established a "moral trusteeship" over the Soviet Union, including Siberia. Siberia was, it is true, left under occupation by alien invading troops, but that was considered a minor matter in view of the larger aspects of the moral trusteeship. A little direct evidence comes to hand. Far Eastern papers bring news of an incident that throws much light on affairs in Siberia while Siberia was being discussed at the Conference.

MEETINGS ,SPECIALISTS ,SECRETARIES - Abstract
From time to time since the opening of the Conference it has been proclaimed in plenary sessions or in official communiqués that a great victory had been won for China. From time to time the papers have recorded that "this was an historic day for China." An impression has been created in the minds of all but Far Eastern specialists that something really has been done to remove the causes of international friction in the Far East. As a matter of fact what has been done in the concrete would not have warranted more than the summoning of second secretaries of legation to a meeting in Tientsin, Yokohama, or San Francisco.

JAPANESE politics & government, 1912-1926 ,ELECTIONS ,STATE governments ,INTERNATIONAL relations - Abstract
This article presents the concluding chapters of an official history of Japanese intervention published by the Special Delegation of the Far Eastern Republic to the United States. Soon after the conference of the toiling people had elected the Government of Verkhne-Udinsk, in East Siberia, it was recognized by the Government of the Amur Province as the central government for the entire Far East. Afraid that the Maritime Government which had been recognized as the provisional government, might also extend its recognition to the Government of Verkhne-Udinsk as a central government, the Japanese began to exert on it an incessant pressure, not even stopping at threats. At the same time the Japanese also began to coquet with the Maritime Government, declaring it to be the only truly democratic government, and that Japan would recognize it if it would place itself at the head of al the provincial governments.

WAR ,PEACE ,MILITARY weapons ,MILITARY supplies ,INTERNATIONAL relations ,CORPORATE profits - Abstract
It is good that the public is taking a keen if belated interest in the activities of the international armament ring during and between wars. The story of young men being killed with guns made by their fellow-countrymen and sold to the enemy at a profit to munitions makers has not grown less sordid with the years. It becomes peculiarly relevant to American young men, any one of whom faces the fantastic but real possibility of being killed in the Far East by a bit of shrapnel that was originally part of his mother's kitchen stove. It is hoped the Senate committee's investigation of the munitions racket will be thorough. The chairman of the committee, in a recent speech cited figures for various companies showing the difference between their profits in peace and in war.

SOCIAL change ,SOCIAL movements ,ACTIVISTS ,CHURCH buildings ,CHRISTIANITY - Abstract
In all the churches of the Western World, what used to be called the Christian Social Movement, has now come to a dead end, and its leaders, themselves announcing and lamenting this fact, are casting round to find the way out of it. They would not do this if they did not believe that there was such a way, or, conversely, if they thought that their work was finished and done. Significantly, this is not true of their daughter churches in the underdeveloped parts of the world, for there, particularly in India and all over the Far East and in much of Africa, the Christian Social Movement is still in its pioneering stage.

WAR ,LITERATURE - Abstract
In this article, the author discusses several Pacific problems along with several publications related to the topic. Books discussed include "The Pacific Triangle," by Sydney Greenbie, "China Awakened," by M.T.Z. Tyau, "China's Place in the Sun," by Stanley High and "Russia in the Far East," by G. Zay Wood. The thrice-told tale of the Far East is told here yet again with but little variation. Here people have the usual budget of books on China and Japan, swollen somewhat by the added interest called out by the Armament Conference. To those who would catch the drift of future events it has great import that already the experts are weighing the chances of prospective opponents in a war in the Pacific.

If only to recapture lost prestige in its colonial possessions England must win a war. But hat is not the sole reason. The conquest of Ethiopia has only whetted Mussolini's appetite. Both to England and to Italy control of the Mediterranean is important more as a means than as an end in itself. The Mediterranean has again become what it was in the Middle Ages, the center of the world developments in air transportation since the World War have greatly enhanced its importance. The air route from France and England to the Far East and India is over the Mediterranean.

The article focuses on a letter Charles Stewart Addis to the Morning Post (London) of October 9 which was sent by the British Library of Information (New York). The letter considers Bertrand Russell's article a "serious attack on the government of Hongkong." Addis does not propose here to discuss the spirit animating Russell's article on British Imperialism in China, in the New Leader, of September 19. His purpose is rather to test, by an examination of the facts on which he relies, the competence of Mr. Russell to pass judgment on the objects and methods of British policy in the Far East.

28. The New White Drive in the East.
- Subjects
POLITICAL leadership ,GUERRILLAS ,NATIONAL liberation movements - Abstract
The latest "White drive," against the Far Eastern Republic, which so far has resulted in the capture of Khabarovsk, was not as unexpected in the Far East as was the news when it reached the United States. The Russian newspapers in the Far East during the earlier part of December are full of information showing that the drive was being prepared and organized under the auspices of Japan. It seems that the Japanese sought an engagement in battle with the Red partisans in order to gain an excuse for continuing the policy of intervention in the Russian Far East. This aim has not been attained so far owing to the fact that the political leaders of the partisans instructed their men to avoid active hostilities against the Japanese.
