RUsSTA's CHANGE OF ATTITUDE.

Russia has recognized NJ last the interest of
the other powers in China. That is the obvious
Interpretation Of the highly interesting news
which We print this morning II is announced
at Washington that the Russian Government
has given 10 the United States Government
formal assurances in writing concerning her in
tentions in Manchuria. To the effect that she
will withdraw her troops from that province as
soon as safety will permit. and that she will
leave Manchura an integral part Of the Chinese
Empire. Those assurances. il is added. are re-
garded entirely satisfactory. They may well
be thus regarded If the account of them is
rect. and If. as is 10 be assumed they are
coupled with an uneQuivo,al withdrawal of the
ManchUriau agreement which Russia has been
endeavoring 10 impose upon China. and which
China has refused 10 accept. our Paris CORE
spondent reports in his cable dispatch this
morning that snch is the case. and that the
withdrawal of that Objectionable proposal is 10
be attributed 10 the personal intervention of
the Gar. 1t is probably judicious to say that If
this is So and II. on the face of the case we
are bound 10 assume. the assurances of Russia
are fulfilled in good faith. one of the most seri-
ous crises in the whole Chinese embodiment is
safely tided over.
The salient feature Of the situation is. as We
have said. that Russia now recognizes the in
rerest Of the other powers in Manchuria well
as in other parts of China Only the other day
she was reported to be maintaining very diff
ferent attitude. She practically ntimated 10
Japan and TO thc world. so the story ran. that
she alone was concerned with Nanchuria, and
that she would brook no meddling there by any
other power. This report gained strength and
color from the indisputable fact that Russia
etrove with all her might TO make with China a
private and secret compact concerning Man
churia, from which all other powers were ex-
Guided and the terms of which Russia refused
10 reveal 10 any other power until the conven-
ticn should become an accomplished fact
through Chinas acceptance Of ii. Such secret
bargaining was contrary to the rule and prac
rice OF rhe concert Of powers in China. and
naturally and not unjustly gave rise TO the
piccn that Russia was striving 10 gain some
seeking only 10 restore order in Manchuria and
China. she was doing only what the other pow
ers were doing In Chilli, and there was no ap-
parent reason why she should not do IL as
openly as they. And so to-day, the one thing
that would most commend her assurances 10
the ready credence and acceptance of the world
would be her frank and entire abandonment of
ali attempts at private and secret negotiations
with China. at least until the pending interna-
fional controversies there are settled
The fact that Russia has proved amenable to
international influences is full OF promise. II
removes the Manchurian question, at least for
the present, from the domain Of belligerent
