many From Eastern Asia,
Saws One Paper

WASHINGTON, March 1l--Germsn
newspapers are following closely the
discussion Of japanese Intervention in
Siberia. An official dispatch received
to-day from Switzerland gives resume
of the opinions Of some of the impOr.
tant papers.
The "Muenchner Neueste Mach
yichten" says:
Germany can calmly await any new
move the Entente may make. We must
see things as they are and not as We
wish them. What Japan will do in tho
future is still obscure, but what she IS
doing to-day is evident. She is pre-
pairing to make q new effort agalns'
u.s."
The "Frankfurter Zeitung" says:
What is going on TODAY in Eastern
Asia cannot be q matter OF indifference
to US. They want firmly to excuue
Germany from Eastern Asia. For US a
Far East policy is only possible vita
the aid OF Russia OF England. Ger.
many consequently should not think Of
allowing the state Of anarchy whlca
reigns in Russia to be prolonged III

Cadets Destined to
Settle Revolution

The Cadets more than any other
party are destined to settle the revo-
luton, to give Russia true political
freedom and to stimulate the economic
development of the country. IT is the
party Of true liberals, inlbbcd with the
spirit OF true parliamentarianisn and
capable of undertaking the government
OF democratically constructed coun-
try.
1t is For this reason that the Social
lists Mensheviki, the orthodox Marxists,
who believe in the evolution Of social
relationships and in the role of par
iamentarianism, and who fear the
jacobism of the Bolsheviki as leading
10 q dulling Of the conscience Of She
masses, had such faith in the Cadets
as the rulers of Russia. The Socialists
Mensheviki believed as far back as
1905 that Russia would attain political
and economic freedom from the hands
of the Cadets
Marx among the Cadets, people who
have either left socialism or have not
subscribed to it because they consider
the platform of the Cadets more ap-
plicablc to conditions in Russia.
Theoretically however, they have re
NAMED socialists
The Cadets are without doubt the
party OF the future, though perhaps
not of tho near future
We have already stated that the Boil
sheviki have created new forms Of ad-
mlnistratlon, which the masses will
not surrender easily. even when they
turn away from Lenine. The Cadets,
on the other hand, viii not recognize
the system. This temporarily widcns
the breach between the Cadets and the
attainment of their political aspira
tions.
But this. is not all. The agrarian
problem. not handled as radically by
the Cadets as it is by other parties, Will
form another barrier TO their imme-
date rise TO power

LONDON, March II. Replying in
the House Of Commons to-day to j.
Austen Chamberlain, with reference to
the relations Of the government and
the press, Premier Lloyd George said
that Lords Rothermerc and Beaver
brook controlled newspapers when they
became ministers; Lord Northcliffe
held ministerial office; the govern
mcnts of all the Allied countries en-
ployed journalists and newspaper pro-
prietors. He dissented from the sug-
gestion that such a class was dlsquali-
fed.
Lords Rothermere and Beaverbrook,
he added, had relinouished their news

Oiiice
After referring to Lord Rothermere's
qualifications, the Premier said that
Lord Beaverbrook had organized the
Canadian propaganda at the request OF
the Canadian government. 1t was
acknowledged that the propaganda was
perhaps the most successful work of
it kind on the Allied side.
He referred to the deadly effect of
the enemy propaganda in Italy and
Russia and the strong necessity for
counter action.
pleasures taken in this connection
had not given complete satisfaction" F"
he continued. "and We therefore in
vted Lord Northclffe, who was spe-
clally qualified, and he consented to
undertake the task without ministerial
position"
All three men, the Premier said, had
been selected for their respective posts
because the government considered
them the best men for the positions
Lord Rothermere before taking charge
of the Air Board had successfully reor,
ganized another department in the Wal
Office. Lord Beaverbrook's experience
as controller OF Canadian propaganda
was valuable to him in his present posi-
con. Lord Northcliffe was one out OF
hundreds Of thousands Of business mer
who volunteered their services in con-
ncction with the war.
The Premier repudiated the sugges
ton that he or any officials on his
staff were responsible for attacks made
by newspapers on admirals and gen
o,.olc
