Poor China may well ask herself what
do got" She would have been vastly
better OF with the terms OF the
first treaty than to have been forced
to como under those which Russia
dictated The willingness with which she
acceded to the first treaty shows that LII
Hung Chang appreciated that her inter-
ests could better be confded TO Japan
than to Russia. AS it is now she pays
big additional indemnity and Will have
only nominal possession of the territory
which Japan was to occupy but which
Russia viii now virtually control. Russia
allowed the quarrel to continue until
peace became desirable and now steps in
to reap creator benefits than the victor.
Neither is it to be presumed that she will
rest content with an open port on the
Pacific.
