AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
curse of Russia, her worst and her
only enemy 1t is our duty to get rid
of it, and we are going to get rid of it.
The oppositional party and the large
majority of the Russian people recog-
nize the legality and justice of the
japanese claims to the disputed terri
tories and the lack of any substantial
interests of Russia in those parts. We
do not see the slightest reason for the
10 70,
war solely with the Russian govern
ment and not with Russia or the Rus
sian people. Such being the case we
regard her as an ally against the COM
mon enemy and rejoice in Japanese
successes on land and sea. We are
positive that the majority of our sol
diers and officers entertain the same
views, have no heart in this war and
if they do fight, it is only because they
are compelled to do so and have no
means to resist so far. The way they
fight is the best proof of it.
Should the Japanese government
see fit to liberate our best men, now
rotting in Saghalien jails as political
prisoners, they would deal a mortal
blow to the Russian government in the
eyes of the whole world, whose SYM
pathies are already on their side. The
moral effect of such an act in Russia
and abroad cannot be overestimated.
Long live Japanese and Russian ma
ions in peace, friendship and prosper
