AMERICAN VIEWS
OF RussIA's PLAN

OF RUssINs PLAN
A st. Petersburg dispatch, not cred
tied to any particular source. asserts
that Russia's backdown In Manchuria
Is complete, and it assumes that this
was due to dangerous outcry" elic-
tied in Japan. England and the
United Statets. and particularly ito
the attitude Of the American people"
The author OF this remarkable opin-
ion must have been utterly ignorant.
Of course. OF what actually occurred
in this country. because his assertions
are exactly the opposite OF the truth
regarding the expression of public
opinion here. SO far as the people Of
the United States we're concerned
they we're absolutely unmoved by the
attitude Of Russia toward China re
garding the sovereignty of Manchu-
ria. 1t is true that the government, in
defense of its own treaties and for
commercial reasons. protested indi-
rectly against the Russian demands.
by advising the Chinese government
not to grant them; but such action
was taken voluntarily, without being
Influenced by public opinion at home
or by entering into any entangling al
lance abroad. IL was, in fact. dis
tinctiy stated that the United States
was taking absolutely independent
action in the matter And the cores
pondence which has since passed be
tween the Secretary of State and the
Russian government and It's accred-
tied ambassador at Washington has
been OF the most friendly nature. al.
though It is claimed that II serves to
make a permanent record OF Russias
position. and Is assumed at Washing
ton to be triumph OF American di.

plan Of permanently annexlng Man

But her action must not be accepted
as an abandonment Of the intent. II
has always been Russa's policy, since
the Crimean war at least, TO yield
temporarily to pressure when her ag

ment of the general plan. She has
learned the value of waiting for favor

likely to be abortive. and Of these she
has never failed TO make the most
All of her Central Asian territorial
ACQUISITIONS have heen secured by
lpursuing this policy. When the risk
