MEANS PEACE
IN THE FAR EAST
NEW Russo-JAPANEsE AGREE.

followed the failure Of Secretary
Knox's Manchurian naturalization pro-
posal. This plan, it alleges, was really
the cause of the closer entente be-
tween Russia and Japan. 1t adds tnat
the new understanding is apparently
an answer to the Chinchow-Aigun rail,
way scheme.
One of the native papers in Tokyo
says that while at first Japan and
Britain, together with America, APP
peared to be antagonistic to Russian
arrogance in the far east, later deyeI.
opments, such as the Anglo-Russlan
and RussoJapanese agreements and
other circumstances, led the Russians
and japanese to take concerted meas.
ures against the far eastern policy OF
the United States.
Meanwhile, the paper continues, the
Anglo-Japanese alliance is believed
to safeguard Japanese interests in
Manchuria and Kolsa, while the closer
Russo-Japanese entente should dispel
Secretary Knoxs apprehension Of a
Russo-Japanese conflict in MGnchuria.
1T is hardly necessary concludes
the writer, ito explain that American
Japanese as well as Anglo-American
relations are destined to become
friendlier as the result of the new
agreement"
