The Care of Finland.
From the New Republic.

Finland's claim to recognition as an in
dependent state stands on an altogether
different footing from the claims of the
Ukraine, Lithuania and Poland. The in
habitants of Finland. although divided
into Swedish speaking and Finnish speak
ing groups, have A high degree of homo
geneity and an intense ~ational conscious
ness. TIL country has enjoyed autonomy
since time out of mind ana was able sue
cessfnlly to resist the recent tendencies
toward classification. There is no serious
question as to boundaries. nor is there
any question as to the representative
character of the Finnish government. Fin
land is not in the stage of provisional
governments. but has already a constitu-
ton that approaches nearer to the demo-
cratic idea! than any other country IN
the world enjoys. Those who believe
that in the future the world is to be par
celea out among a few great supernatural
empires will regret the decision OF Finland
to separate herself entirely from Russia.
They believe that Finnish Independence Ia
most likely to prove nothing but a prelule
to German dominance.

JAPAN IN
From the New York World.

Japan. in this war. is not AZ ally of
the allies. but an ALLY of Great Britain.
Tli,H far .lapun's participation in the
wal has been limited To the obligations
OF the AnSlo-lapaneSe treaty, which is
AN -ASiatic convention. Even the use of
japanese torpedo boat destroyerS in the
Mediterranean was brought within the
scope OF this agreement.
Whether Japan has pressingly pecu-
liar interests ut this time in Siberia is
n question OF condition and not of
theory. Undoubtedly there are great
supplies of war materials there which
We're manufactured il Japan and the
United States. and which have not been
paid for. 1t might he very serious. in

We're to fall into the hands of the Ger
mans. II may be said. too. that German
occupation of Siberia. or even Il state
OF anarchy in Siberia due to the COM
plete collapse OF Russia, would involve
grave menac to Japanese interests as
Well as to the allied cause. ON the
basis of the old diplomacy a most
plausible case could be made in favor
OF J~apanesc military Intervention in
Siberia under the pretext of an exercise
of International police power.
Yet there are other questions to be
considered. too. What will he the inn
mediate result and what will be the
ultimate Consequences We take it for
granted that even Great Britain will
not consent to the sending of a Jana
nese force into Siberia without definite
public agreements as to the employ
mclt and ultimate withdrawal of those
troops. Nor is it conceivable that any
action will be taken in defiance of the
provisional government of Siberia or in
fragrant disregard of all the possible
effects in Russia of such intervention.
When the Germans renewed their
Russian drive the German commander
was at great pains to explain tina the
immediate object was not military, but
the suppression of anarchy and the re-
storatlon of order. Curiously enough,
that happens to be the very rgume
advanced in favor of Japanese opera
lions from the east. In the event that
