1.-The Russians will be driven as far
as Baikal. Further than that we do
not wish to go, but we will return to
Manchuria and open it to the trade of
the world.
"Our people are certain that they can
beat the Russian, but l think we be-
gan hostilities fifty years too soon. We
were not prepared for such a serious
war.
Japan wishes above everything else
to command the sea, and she will then
be free from fear of invasion and loss
of territory. With the complete de-
struction of the Russian fleet, we be-
lieve the war will end.
"Japan's alliance with Great Britain
was a stupid act, and it will be of
no service to us.
I'VE know perfectly well that the
Americans were never our friends, be-
cause in the Far East they were al
way our opponents. We are afraid
that if Japan is victorious the British
and the Americans only will benefit
1t would be foolish for Japan to ally
herself with the United States, be-
cause the Americans do not intend to
help us, but rather wish to exploit

which the Senate provided for in the
river and harbor bill were stricken out

President had a personal interest. as
it was a survey near the Presidents
