Colonel Ninamiya, secretary of the Minister of War, in his speech to-day with Captain Baldwin 1 made following statement:
Sending troops to Russia will depend upon circumstances entirely. We are making some preparations but troops if sent either Harbin or Vladivostok will be only sufficient number to protect Japanese interests and at present we do not expect to send them.
