be able to have any subjects there, but
M anchurians; and that China, with
CHI uria, will be weaker, whilst Russia
w ill not be much stronger. Those are

believe that Japan would like to be-
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. our benevolently
assimilated Philippine Islands, are far
from the.facts. They are more useful
to Japan:as our possessions than as
their own, just now, and the fact that
Japan can take them in Is minutes
any time she should be forced to, has
the effect of keepingthe United States
