rhe New Antiforeign Craze In China.
The antiforeign movement which
has cropped out afresh all over China
is said to be i'll the nature of revenge
for the pillage and eXtortion by Eu-

that during that campaign treasures

ty was shown to the people who We're

The Chinese boycott against Ameri-

law is enlarging into movement
against the products of all white labor
and is an expression of universal
determination TO combat everybody
and everything not Chinese. Opposi-
ton has developed to the various en-

Stiff Necked Russie.

Even advanced reformers in Russia
are not unanimous as to the necessity
or ACCESSIBILITY of concluding peace on
any terms that other nations may re-
gard as moderate and reasonable.
There are loGd protests in the press
against any huniliating and shameful
peace treaty This sentiment is not
confined to tie reactionary or bureau
cratic organs. although they are the
most strenuous in voicing it. The No
voc Vremya, one of the government
organs, says:
Not a cent of indemnity. not an inch OF
territory. We have no reason for view
ing our position in the Ear east as SO COM
promised that. in spite of the present
strength and condition of oEr land forces,
we are driven to submit to all of Japan's
terms. On the contrary, We are so cir
curnstanced that we can make excellent
use of our position. Let US not forget
this; let us not permit the atmosphere of
peace it is sought 10 create about us SO
To befog our minds as to cause us to over
look the advantages of our position.
This paper says that Japan and Eng
land are anxious for peace and hints
that the powers would find it difficult
TO influence Russia by a naval demon
stration.
Another conservative organ. the
Syiet, says that the peace commission
will return empty handed and adds:
Russia will have the opportunity of In
forming herself of Japan's terms. Of the
inadmissbility of these there can be no
doubt Peace is possible only when the
vanquished is so convinced of the futility
of resistance that he humbly asks for il
or when the victor is SO triumphant that
he can impose il. Neither condition al
present exists. Talk about peace to Rus
STA after YOU have shown her that she
cannot continue the war.
There is demand among Russian
Liberals that the government submit
the question of peace to the people
through their representatives in The
zensky sober. This will be good poll
cy if the peace at any price party is not
formidable.
