fensive example OF the oppression of one
nation by allies bent on plumber has been
exhibited to the world, Russia and Great
Britain are deliberately weakening Persia
to facilitate the partition. Russia does
not surprise, but that Great Britain
should be party to the conspiracy, that
the nation that boasts of its consttu-

Persia's experiment in constitutlonalism,
that Great Britain should sign an agree

Persia, and therefore the tinted States
can make no other answer than It has
made TO the cars question. We cannot
interfere for the reason that we have
no governmental or official interest in
Mr.. Shuster's conduct while in the service

opinion that his forced exclusion at the
behest of Russia Is shocking example
OF the oppression OF the weak by the
strong, and Great Britain cannot escape
a share of the condemnation. Mr. shus-
ters offending is simply this: He was
endeavoring to put the finances OF Persia

supporting, and eventually free 1t from
dependence on Russia and Great Britain.
In a word. he was seeking to build up
Persia, and so ran counter to the allied

and purposes agreed to partition the land

As Great Britain refused to mediate
bewteen Persia and Russia when Russia
demanded an apology for Mr.. Shusters
seizure of certain property of the shah's
brother. as really the property of the
nation. poor Persia has been compelled
to back down. Mr.. Shuster's action has
been disavowed under the threat of Rus
sian invasion, and he has been deprived
Of his usefulness. II Persia thought that
this concession, painful as 1t was, would
end the difficulties with Russia, it was
mistaken. Russia now demands an in
demnity for the cost of moving troops to
coerce Persia into abandoning Mr..
shuster. Persia, already heavily indebted
TO Russia, must give its note to the gov
eminent. which IS its great and menacing
creditor, and hold mortgage on the
falrest OF the Persian provinces.
