road = Russia Should Make Grants
to Secure 1t = Project Considered
Very Desirable.

st. Petersburg, March "a. = The
sympathy of Emperor Nicholas,
Premier White and other members of
the ministry, as well as of powerful
influences at court, have been enlist
ed by Baron Loicq De Lobel in the
project of the American Translates
kan Siberian Company for the con-
struction of a tunnel under Boring
Strait from East Cape to Kansk and
5000 miles of railroad to connect it
with the Siberian railway, and the
opposition of a portion of the bureau
cracy, which fought the scheme bit
terly because the negotiations were
conducted over their heads is break
ing down. The outlook for a favor
able decision is now bright. In addi-
ton to the benefits which will accrue
to the nation by the development of
the resources of the present waste of
northeastern Siberia, the imperial
family owns an immense extent Of
land which will be benefited. The ma
tional defense committee also consid-
ers the project as essential from a
strategic point of view and, more i'm
portant still, there is in the higher
government spheres a distinct dispo-
sition to cultivate the United States
as Russia's natural ally in the Far
East. 1t is believed that by interest
ing Americans materially in Siberia
the political ties between the two
countries will be strengthened A
statement to this effect has been sub
mitted by Lamsdorff to the commits
sion under the presidency of Senator
Won Hansen, manager of ways and
communications, which has been con-
sidering the project, which statement
really amounts to an important decla-
ration of foreign policy, as is evident
from the following extract:
From the standpoint of good pol
icy the project is considered more
than desirable. The investment of
foreign capital, and especially Ameri-
can, in an enterprise so important for
Russia, will certainly tend to an eco
nomic, financial and political Russo
American approachment 1t will also
contribute to the creation of greater
confidence in our foreign policy,
which has sensibly suffered by re-
cent events. By interesting Ameri-
cans we may be the better able to
combat the injurious agitation against
us which has produced so much harm
before the Russo-Japanese war. l be-
lieve the projected railway would
serve to paralyZe any aggressive
movement against us in the Far East.
Everything which can help to place
Russia in a more independent posi-
ton with regard to Japan and China
cannot fail to strengthen Russia both
in the Far East and in Europe"
