THE JAPANESE RECOGNITION.
The Japanese Government issued on the 9th of September the following declaration:
The Japanese government have noted with deep sympathy and interest the just aspirations of the Czechoslovak people to exact free and independent national existence. These aspirations have consciously been made manifest in their determined and well organized efforts to arrest the progress of the Germanic aggressive policy.
In these circumstances the Japanese government are happy to regard the Czechoslovak army| as an allied and belligerent army waging regular warfare against Austria-Hungary and Germany, and to recognize the right of the Czechoslovak National Council to exercise the supreme control over that army.
They are further prepared to enter into communication with the duly authorized representatives of the Czechoslovak National Council, whenever necessary, on all matters of mutual interest to the Japanese and Czechoslovak forces in Siberia.
