RUSSIA AND JAPAN.
In the Event Of War the Latter Would
Buy Of Us


The action Of Russia in closing the ports
of Manchuria against Japan for the export
Of wheat is looked upon by experts Of the
Department Of Agriculture as a move that
can have but one result-to make 1t neceo-
sary for Japan to purchase wheat from Pa
ciao coast ports OF the United States In
the event of warlike trouble between Japan
and Russia Japan would be the country to
need supplies from outside her own borders.
Russia would have within easy reach an
abundant supply. not only of cereals. but
probably also of horses that might be need
ed In any projected campaigns.
1t is not believed that Japan could find
any market from which she could secure
wheat and horses so satisfactorily as would
be found on the Pacific coast Of our own
country. 1t would require a month Of time
to lay these commodities down in Japan.
and the sooner they are ordered by Japan
the better it will be for that country in get
ting them delivered without danger Of being
mOlested.
wheat only too glad to dispose Of her sur
plus supplies. Is pointed out here as conclu-
sive evidence that her action In stopping
the shipment OF these supplies to Japan
has an important bearing on her view as
to the probable action of the Japanese peo-
pie in making warlike preparations
In the event of war between Russia and
Japan there would be no reason why this
country should not sell all the foodstuffs
and horses to either Japan or Russia that
either of those countries cares to purchase
They are not munitions of war. so that no
restrictions could be placed on the United
States in making the sales But it would be
for the country purchasing the supplies to
see that they were safely conveyed to their
destination.
If Russia should be able to maintain
blockade about the ports of Japan she
might be able to intercept all supplies, but
those who are best informed as to the rela-
tive strength of the two countries on the
water are not inclined to think that Russia
would be able to play successfully the role
OF bIOCkading Japan.
