KOMURA EXPLAINS.

Baron Komura, Minister of Foreign
Affairs, also addressed the House, re-
viewing the course of the negotiations
with Russia, which cover more than
three years. In the summer of 1900,
when the powers sent troops to Chill
owing to the Boxer outbreak, Russia
sent a large army into Manchuria and
occupied the whole of that country. At
the time Russia repeatedly declared
that the occupation was for the pur-
pose of suppressing the insurgents in
Manchuria and not for territorial con-
quest. She said that she would respect
China's sovereignty in Manchuria and
her territorial integrity. and that the
occupation of Manchuria was only a
temporary measure. In spite of all
these assurances Russia more than
once pressed China to conclude an
agreement inconsistent with Chinese
sovereignty in Manchuria and with the
treaty rights Of the powers. When
these proposals were made the Japa-
nese Government warned both the Chi
nese and Russian governments.
At length, in April, 1902. Russia con-
cluded a treaty whereby the evacuation
of Manchuria was decided upon. She
then began to make preparations for
the evacuation, which was only partly
carried out. II was in April last year
that she suddenly changed her atti-
tude. Not only did she cease the eyac-
uation, but she made several new de-
mands on China. The reason for such
an abrupt change In her attitude was
very obvious. 1t was because the sec
ton of the Russian Government that
advocated the permanent occupation of
Manchuria was victorious in its strug-
gle for ascendency over another more
peaceful section These developments
of the Manchurian question were care
fully watched by the Imperial Govern
ment. for the independence and terri
torial integrity of Korea were abso-
Iutely necessary for the safety and
peace of Japan. This has always been
the traditional policy of Japan.
In the event of Russia annexing
Manchuria. the existence of Korea
would be constantly threatened and
the peace of the Far East would be-
Government deemed it necessary to
arrive at a friendly settlement with
Russia with regard to Manchuria and
Korea, where the interests of the two
countries were likely to conflict. and
thus sweep away all causes that would
disturb the peace of the Far East
in the future. So the Cabinet decided
to open negotiations with Russia and
informed the Russian Government TO
that effect on July 2s. last year. To
this Russia consented and the negotia-
tions were opened.
FAILURE OF PROPOSALS.
The San Francisco call., 1904-04-26

dation of the position of the empire by
means of promoting friendly relations
with the treaty powers and respecting
their legitimate rights and interests is
the established national policy of the
empire. But owing to the fact that the
schemes and actions of Russia in Man
churia and Korea We're wholly incom-
patible with this policy the Imperial
Government, by the command of his
Majesty. engaged in July last in nego-
tiations with the Russian Government.
Russia, however, not only failed to
meet our proposals with sincerity. but
also continued all the more to defiantly
resort TO actions which were calculated
to injure our national rights. Hence
Japan, in self-defense, was compelled
TO terminate the negotiations and take
independent action, and it is confident
ly believed that already all the world
has fully recognized the justice and
patience uniformly exercised by the
Japanese Government in carrying on
these negotiations, anxiously desirous
of a peaceful solution. and mindful of
the Woeful consequences which war
brings upon mankind.
Gentlemen, in the present situation
there is no doubt that all the subjects
Of his Imperial Majesty all over the
country are of one mind in their en-
deavor TO secure in obedience to his
Ma5esty's will a speedy restoration of
peace by gaining such a conclusive vic
tory as TO attain the object of the war.
The Government. in order TO meet the
requirements of a belligerent state, has
formed a financial programme, and by
imperial command has already laid be-
fore the Diet the budget and various
projects of laws. 1t is the earnest de-
sire of the Government that you will
after candid deliberation give a speedy
assent to these measures"
