JAPAN AROUSED FROM
LETHARGY BY RUSSIA,
PREMIER'S TRIBUTE
Okuma Transfers Credit for
Nippmese Awakening From
Commodore Perry to Alex
ander rs Envoy
MAY BE SLAP TO THE U. s.
BY MARQUIS oKUMA


In turning 10 history, one finds that dur
ing the close OF the eighteenth century
there were great revolutionary disturb.
ances throughout Europe. with France as
the center.
Russia was also beset with both internal
and external problems. Alexander the
First repulsed Napoleon and attempted to
restore good government to Russia. with
the intention Of developing the Orient he
sent a mission to Japan TO open that coun-
try to foreign intercourse. one hundred
years ago Russian emissary. with the
imperial message from the Car, came to
Nagasaki.
Some historians say that the man who
broke the dream of isolation that Japan
had slumbered for 200 years, was Com
modore Matthew ePrry But In TACT II
was Nicholas Lezanoff, the Russian Envoy,
who. in 1903, awakened the Japanese Bm-
pre from her long sleep. Some state that
Russia demanded intercourse with Japan
with an object OF aggression. That Is
great mistake, and / firmly believe Alex
Rnder had no such intentions.
Thus so years before the American En-
Voy came TO Japan we were awakened by
Russia.
The foregoing is n translation from a
signed article published in the ISokumin
Shimbun, n Toxic newspaper. July 10, 1918.
The newspaper has just reached America
and Count Okumas article is attra 5ting
profound interest. BY some observers of
foreign affairs 1t is interpreted to indicate
a deliberate desire to show that Japan's
affection for this country has cooled.
Others, however. think it shows only pur-
pose 70 reconcile the Japanese people to
the new Russo-Japanese treaty-signed just
seven days before Count Okuma announced
that Russia had discovered" Japan.
AT the Japanese Embassy II is declared
that the historical article, even though the
Premier was author was mot inspired by
the Government" 1t was not designed to
mold public opinion to CONFORM to the Gov
ernment's new treaty venture, Embassy
officials said.
