Several months ago it would have been
difficult, one might suppose, to prophesy
that in the certain event of war be-
tween Russia and Japan, Port Arthur
must witness the opening moves or the
campaign. and that Japan would find
her torpedo craft especially of very great
advantage TO her. In timely volume,
however entitled "Corea,' which Chas
Scribners Sons will publish on Saturday.
the course events have taken is all but
exactly outlined The author, Angus
Hamilton. was for two years special
correspondent in the far east of the
Pail Mall Gazette. His work. in view
of the present situation. is extremely
interesting. Several of his observations
follow:
Russia regards Corea as The compile
ton OF her dominicns IN the far east,
while Japan looks upon the little king
dom in the corollary to that expansion
which is essential to the existence of the
Island empire. Russia in ManchurIa and
Corea, with her shadow projected over
China, would mean sentence of per-
petual restriction and shrinkage for ia
pan. But, similarly. Russia from her
position at Vladivostok and Port Ar
by Japan as a wedge with its point
projected toward the center of her Man
churian communications.
The expansion of japanese interests in
Corea has not been without political de-
sign. The integrity of her neighbor is
bound up in her own existence. The
security of COTea emphasizes the safety
of her own borders: and, as her own
empire has developed into a first-class
power this desire to see the kindom re-
spected has become more and more the
spirit of the policy upon which she has
concentrated her individual action She
has fOstered the trade with Corea, be-
cause il drew together the ties which
connected the two countries She has
urged the concession of ports, and stin
more ports. TO foreign commerce, because
the preponderance of her trade in these
marts substantiates her claim TO be the
lawful champion of the race.
