Russia may insist that the terms Of
peace are too hard and humiliating but
the fact that she is already licked to a
standstill will probably settle the mat
ter. If she insists on continuing the
struggle Japan can probably deliver the
goods, and in the end the indemnity
collected will make the present de-
mands look like thirty cents.
