Enouqh Land to Go Around.

The governments policy. which the Associated Press is authorized to an nounce, Is founded on the expectation that enough land can be obtained by the division of the crown lands, the clearing of a portion of the imperial forests and the voluntary sale of private estates to meet the land hunger of the peasants without the necessity of forced expro- priation. Outlining these plans, Minister of Agriculture Stinchsy said this evening that the government already had at its disposal 26000OOO acres, composed of 10,- GOO 900 acres of crown public lands. situ- ated largely in the Volga region. 6.250.0 .0oO acres of clearable forests and S.750.OO0 acres of private estates. the owners of which have announced their readiness to sell.
 Without doubt the thousands of other land owners will be only too anxious to dlspose of their holdings at reasonable prices. These lands will be sold to peas ants on time through the peasants bank. the payments not commencing for several years
 The programme, in addition to coloni- zation of Siberia and Central Asia, con- templates the improvement of the agri- culture methods of the peasantry, which are primitive and unproductive in the extreme.

Ministry Calmly Moves Ahead.

In the meantime the present ministry, among whom there Is no Daniel to read the handwriting on the wall, in the atti- tude of the lower house of Parliament Is calmly going ahead with it's agrarian programme. which 1t hopes to submit to the lower house within fortnight and contrary to the expectation to provide for the distribution of millions of acres of crown lands in European Russia. All this seems to be labor lost, as in the present temper of Parliament, which has taken the bit in its teeth. no proposition from the government, however liberal, as was shown by It's reception today of the speech of Minister of Justice Chtche- glovioff, is apt to receive the slightest consideration.
