RUSS|A'S POSITION

At THE HAGUE CONFERENCE
Wants Plan and Machinery for In

attitude and line Of action before Tine
Hague conference are now beginning
to take shape at series Of confer
ences between NJ. Nelidoff. first mem.
Der OF the Russian delegation. his as
sociates and technical advisers. and
officials Of tho foreign office.
A series Of propositions. mainly
drafted by M. De Martens. the cefe-
brated Russian expert on information
al law and second member Of the del
egation, furnishing a basis of discus
sion for the various points Of the
Russian programme. have been con-
sidersd and tentatively adopted.
Whether these will be presented to
the conference depends largely on
the attitude of other delegations, Rus
STA having no desire to dictate the
course which the discussions shall
take, and wishing to give precedence
to the proposals of other powers
Whenever these are found satisfac-
tory. Nevertheless, Russia has now
very definitely shaped her course on
the various important questions to be
presented.
In regard to tho limitation of arma-
monts, Russia maintains the positions
laid down in its note Of March l6.
1905, and with Austria and Germany
is frankly opposed to any discussion
of this subject, which 1t still feAis
can lead to no useful result.
In its plans for tho conferences, the
Russian government lays chief weight
on the development of the scope and
machinery of The Hague tribunal and
the international commissions OF In
vestigation established by the first
conference. The increasing number
of cases referred to The Hague for
settlement is ample reason In Rus
sian official eyes, for a wide enlarge
ment of the functions Of Hague peace
processes.
Russia also regards 1t as highly de-
sirable that the questions Of mari
time war and the rights and obliga-
tions Of nOutrals should be systemar
tized. Russia rs anxious that the ma
rine powers par excellence should
participate heartily and with good
will in this labor and that England
and Japan should not persist in their
attitude Of reserve toward the dis
cussion. Another question which
Russia hopes will also result in In
regulation concerns the
Of neutrals IN supplying
belligerents with coal and similar
quasi munitions Of war. This ques-
tion was Of acute interest during the
Russo-J Japanese war. Definite rules
the right Of asylum neu-
trail ports are also desired.
Russia has as yet made no official
regarding her attituds
IN regard to the discussion Of the
Drago doctrine, proposed by the
United States. But the appointment
IF M. Prosor, the Russian authority
On this question, indicates Russia's
to participate in tho dis
,ussion Of this subject, If other pow
