financial crisis In Russia. The latter was
largely due to the numt tsrless industrial
enterprises, especially In iron. started un-
der the Russian high tariff policy, being
obliged to curtail their ouptut. owing to
insufficient noal supplies from the South

witte, therefore ARBITRARILY fixed the price
Of railroad material required by the state
railroads at about 30 per cent below the
prises were started expressly to supply the
Siberian railroad. the result was disas-
trous. The German and Russian govern
ments take grave view OF the situation
but, In Berlin financial circles, the crisis
Is only regarded rs temporary. Therefore,
in view OF the Carz's emphatic declara-
tion at Potsdan,. In favor Of N. De Whites
pence policy, and the believed bassless-
ness Of the reports Of Russian advance In
Afgbanistan and Persia they are inclined
to further Russia's financial and indus
trial expansion on the ground that they
will thus be subscribing to their own in
terests, In dra wing apart Russia and
France and in heightening Russia's powers
of purchasing German products.
