POINTS IN THE EASTERN CRISIS

Henry Clews, the New York fnanc-
ial authority, thus summarizes the
Russo Japanese ultticulty:
II Japan insists upon her demands,
which are, that Chinese sovereignty in
Manchuria, also Japanese influence
over Corea, be continued, war will be
the outcome. It must be remembered
that Russia has for many centuries
past been scheming for an open sea
outlet in place Of being frozen up in
all her northern ports for two-thirds
Of the year. Russia's original scheme
Of relief was via Constantinople, but
that was found impossible, owing to
the combined opposition Of the Euro
pean Powers, hence the building Of the
Siberian railway into Chinese territory
means that Russia proposes to get a
seaport outlet from the Manchurian
and Corean coasts. Naturally Japan
strenuously opposes this as she real
1zes that Russia would be an autocratic
and dangerous neighbor and besides
would hem in her little island territory
from expansion, which is becoming so

much needed by her growing indus
tries and increasing population. II
Japan surrenders her forceful attitude
the result will be transfer of Chinese
sovereignty to Russian sovereignty
over Manchuria, and the result to the
United States would be that the re-
cent commercial treaties providing for
the open door policy in behalf of this
country would become a closed door
through change of sovereignty over
that country, for certainly treaties
made with China are not likely to be
carried over by Russia. unless they are
found to be her advantage. Conse-
quently to prevent war, there must he
3 back-down, either on the part of
Russia or Japan. The commercial in
terests of all foreign trading nations
would undoubtedly be best served by
Russia's territory being confined to
present limits. It therefore would ap-
pear that Japan, from an interested
point OF view at least, has the sympa-
thy Of the commercial nations with
her.

Recent estimation places the number
Of deaf mutes in the world at more

human beings, living a life which a
Normal person cannot conceive. Is des-
tined to increase because OF, the tend
ency of these people to marry persons
laboring under the same disability.
