ernment has informed the powers that
it will respect fully the rights any ma
ton has in Manchuria under treaty

this policy now in consequence OF the
controversy with Japan, one of whose
persistent contentious has been for a
definition of Russia's policy in Man
churia and an acknowledgment OF
Japans trade privileges. Russia's re-
ply has been, in substance, as follows:
I'VE cannot discuss Manchuria with
you any more than we could Australia
or the Philippines. Manchuma belongs
neither to us nor TO you. ~ does not
lie within the jurisdiction OF either OF
us to dispose Of the future OF Man
churia.
Russia. however, is willing TO OBJ
serve the treaty rights OF all the pow
ers in Manchuria and now engages TO
do So"
Russia, 1T is added, thus removes
from the negotiations one of the points
upon which Japan counted for the
moral support Of the other powers and
whereon she specially had the sym
pathy Of the United States and Great
Britain

Japan are not known officially here,
