WINDY JOHNNY BULL.
LONDON, April I9.-The Standard
| says: Whatever the exact stipu-
lations of the Carbohydrates treaty
may prove to be, it must be dis
tinctly understood that they are
subject to the approval Of the other
states having relations with east
| ern Asia. Only so far as they do
not unfairly conflict with the legit-
innate rights OF Europeans can
| they be permitted to have effect.
Anything that could serve as the
basis OF a scheme giving Japan a
political and commercial mastery
over China cannot be allowed to
pass"
| NEWSPAPERS NOT SATISFIED.
LONDON, April l9.-The st.
James Gazette says:
II Japan declines to be fright
ened Russia may come to the con-
clusion that she would better not
try force. Meanwhile England is
benevolent and has no feeling of
anger toward Japan. The opening
Of factories in China by Japan does
not mean that she will have mo-
nOpoly of such industries, as Eng
land could also open factories il she
chose.
The Pail Mall Gazette, comment
ing on the terms Of peace between
China and Japan as defined by the
imperial edict ust issued in Pekin,
says:
The conditions are better than
those mentioned in the Times dis
patches yesterday, but the CessiOn
of the island Of FOrmosa will sure
ly displease England, while the
cessiOn OF Port Arthur will be OBJ
jected to by Russia. "Our govern
mrnt," the Pail Mall Gazette says,
"may be safely depended upon to
do nothing, unless the other pow
ers take action"
The Russian journals, according
to dispatches from st. Petersburg,
are more vigorous in their utter
ances than the English papers and
sound a warning that the signing
of such a treaty Of peace as is indi-
Gated by the dispatches of the last
twenty-four hours will be only
prelude to a wider, though unnec.
essary armed conflict.
