RUSSIA LIBERAL" "

st. Petersburg. Dec 25-The Russian govern
ulent is still considering the reply of the Jap
anese government TO its note which was sent in
answer to Japan's demands relating to the stu
alton in the Far East reconsideration Of the
proposals made in the Russian note is consid-
cred as a matter OF course here. Russia has
never been disposed to take any step which
would lead to All abrupt termination OF the nego-
tiations with Japan
In answer to many inquiries made by The
Associated Press the Russian Foreign Office has
always insisted that the Russian proposals were
SO liberal that it would be scarcely probable to
conceive any further concessions.
While the Foreign Office is unwilling to admit
that Russia is prepared TO offer more than the
concessions outlined in the last note it is consid-
cred possible that the government may suggest
changes by which the Russian requirements may
be met and Japan satisfied.
rumor has been circulated here that the
United States government is still inclined TO
suggest the reference of the difficulties between
Russia and Japan to The Hague Arbitration
Tribunal, but this rumor is believed to be merely
the echo Of a former suggestion made in the
press Of the United States.
