Japan and the Counter-Revolution in Siberia.

The counter-revolution which took place in Vladivostok on the 26th and 27th of May must be considered a new step in the development of Japan's program of imperialistic expansion in Siberia. The accounts of the coup presented by various Siberian papers arid news agencies bring out very clearly the fact that it owed its success to Japanese intervention. In order to understand what happened in Vladivostok it is necessary to review briefly the events of the last few months in Siberia. After the fall of Kolchak in the winter of 1919-1920 the eastern frontier of Soviet Russia was advanced to Lake Baikal.
