Japan Strengthened

Inc accord, which is virtually an alll-
ance, is regarded here of historic i'm
portance as concerns the future develop
ment of the Far East and world politics
generally. 1t ends a long period of hos
tiity between the two empires, which
eliminated in the Russo-Japanese war,
and strengthens the position of Japan as
a first class power.
Now that Japan and Russia are pooling
their interests in the Far East they will
free themselves from the necessity Of re-
garding each other as possible enemies in
the future and from the maintenance Of
large bodies of troops on their respective
frontiers.
Blocks German Move
The impression in Toxic is that the
convention is framed to meet attempts
at the extension of German influence in
the Far East believed to be undesirable
while the hands of both powers are
strengthened in dealing with the situation
in China.
Englishmen and Frenchmen claim that
the accord will check efforts at German
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT after the war and pre-
vent China becoming the cause of new
international turmoil
The Japanese are elated over the con-
clusion of the convention and the signing
of the document will be communicated at
a ministerial banquet and probably by a
popular lantern procession.
The newspapers welcome the extension
of Japanese influence in the Orient. 1t
is understood that the term Of the con-
vention is 10 years.
