pensations and possibly also self deny
ing stipulations, Russia will on no acs
count allow a war indemnity to form
any part of the arrangement. -
THE argument employed to support
this negative proviso is this: The sum
of s50a,oG0,G0o, which would probably
constitute. the war indemnity, would
also enable Russia to carry on the
struggle until Japan was completely ex-
hausted. Therefore. it would be more
advantageous to spend the money on
running the enemy than in enriching her
and enabling her TO acquire an enormous
feet.
Danger in Mobilization.
'On the other hand, however, it may
be argued that in order to continue the
campaign not money only, but men are
needed. and the mobilization of these
may cause disturbances throughout
Russia But for this objection the mill
tary officials are prepared and propose
to dispatch to the front soldiers now
serving in Russia, Of whom there are
quite enough for the purpose, and to
mobilize others to take their places.
They believe that if the mobilization
takes place on the understanding that
the men called to the colors will not be
sent to the Far East no dissatisfaction
will be displayed. "a,
1T Is felt that another condition on
which the qualification of the Cars
peaceful mood is understood to depend
is the cooperation of England, America.
France and Germany. more especially
the two Anglo-SaXon powers, as moder-
ators of the Japanese demands. Russia
on her part would make it quite clear
that she was actuated by a genuine de-
sire for peace and had assimilated the
bitter lessons taught by the war. That
disposition would be manifested in the
heavy sacrifices she would be ready to
consent to in order to end the slaughter.
Refusal to concur in these conditions
would doubtless relegate peace to the
distant future"
