BRUSSELS, Nov. l6—l"aced by s. Japanese declaration that the Brussels Conference had closed “iorever" the door to mediation of the far eastern conflict, Norman H. Davis, head of the United States delegation, conferred with Russian officials today on pro- cudure at the next stage oi the conference.

A statement issued by the Jap- anese Embamy sharply criticized the powers participating in the conference. particularly Russia, and said the declaration adopted yesterday criticizing Japan was not “worthy of being published in the name oi the conference."

It said that Japan carefully left the way open for mediation in her reply to the conference's peace bid last Friday, but that no effort had been made by the powers to pursue the matter.

Davis. to whom the other dele- gates were reported looking for an indication of the next step when the conference reconvenes Mon- day. conferred with Vladimir P. Potemkin, head of the Soviet de- legation in the absence of For- eign Commissar Lltvlnoff. and other members oi the Russian deegation.
