RUSSIA fOR The
BIG WAR FORCES
OPPOSES DISCUSSION OF DIS
ARMAMENT.
OTHER BIGGER QUESTIONS
Cars Government Regards 1t as
Highly Desirable That Problems
of Maritime Rights and ObIga-
tons Of Neutrals Be Determined
Without Fail.

ST Petersburg, June 4.-Russia's at
titude and line OF action before The
Hague conference are now beginning
10 take shape, and has definitely
shaped her course on various Import
ant questions to be presented.
In regard TO the limitation Of arma-
ments Russia maintains the positions
laid down in its note Of March 1G,
1905, and with Austria and Germany,
is frankly opposed 10 any discussion
OF this subject, which it still feels
can lead to no useful results.
The Russian authorities, however,
nave not abandoned hope Of an eley-
enth hour agreement which will sn
able the question TO be disposed OIL
before the conference, amicably and
without bitterness.
Russia regards it as highly desir-
able that the questions OF maritime
war and rights and obligations OF
neutrais, now 50 important after the
RussO-J apanese war, should be sys-
tematiZed. The Russian program pro-
Vides Tor the discussion of the prin-
cipal problems which arose during
the recent war. Russia is anxious
that the marine powers par excellence
should participate heartily and with
good will in Ills labor and that Eng
land and Japan should not persist in
their attitude Of reserve toward the
discussion.
OF first Importance in this depart
menJ Russia considers The question
Of contraDand-at present a situa-
ton of utter chaos. The difficulty OF
adjusting the English and continental
views on conditional contraband, suc1
rs coal, machinery, horses, etc, is
realized, but it is hoped by Russia
that the conference can elaborate a
convention enumerating what articles
shall be considered contrabaud and
under what conditions, and providing
international regulations for prize
court procedure, perhaps even an In
ternatiOual prize court Of the highest
instance.
A cOrOllaries question which Russia
hopes will also result in intema-
tionaI regulation, concerns the obi
cations of neutraIs in supplying bel
igerents with coal and similar quasi
munitions of war. This question
was OF acute interest during the
Russo-Japanese war. Definite rules
concerning the right of asylum in
neutral ports are also desired.
Russia has yet made no official an
nouncement regarding her attitude in
regard to the discussion Of the drago
doctrine, proposed by the United
States. But the appointment OF Mr.
ProsOr, the Russian authority on this
question, indicates Russia's willing
ness to participate in the discussion
Of this subject, if other powers more
VitalIy interested are willing to ad,
nit its inclusion in the program.

severely from freezing, seeming, un-
der adverse circumstances, to have
