Chita Delegates Reveal Alleged Treaty Details
Copies of an alleged treaty between the Japanese army in Siberia and Russian officers align with the Attaman Semienoft group, exposing Japanese support for an offensive against Chita.

Baron Kato signals possible withdrawal if Bolshevik threats end in Korea or Manchuria, governors state ongoing Dairen talks and differing occupation bases in Sahalien and Vostok regions.
