will be able successfully to weather
the coming session of the Diet on ac-

The fact that Viscount Motono was
one OF the trainers Of the Russo Jap
anese alliance while ambassador at
Petrograd and the belief that Count
Terauchi himself has strong Russian
sympathies has led many friends OF
the Anglo-Japanese alliance to fear
that the support OF the new ministry
will be thrown primarily in putting
into effect the Russian alliance as
against the British. 1t is remarked
that Count Terauchi is the president
OF the Russo-Japanese society and
that Baron Goto, the new minister OF
the interior, is the vice president.
As TO the policy Of the new cabinet
towards the United States great sat
isfaction is expressed by representa-
tive Japanese that Premier Terauchi's
recent declarations TO The Associated
Press should have received such cor
dial welcome in the United States.
The new cabinet has as vet made no
formal declarations Of its principles
and Count Tcrauchis interview has
given practically the only indication
thus far Of the cabinets attitude on
foreign questions
