Japanese and Chinese governments,

German aggression. mean nothing
more nor iesa than intervention for
the relief OF Russia.
II will be wonderful picture 20
see Japan and China come to the rec
cue of Russia. It will be inspired by
no special feature or affection for the
Russian people, for these nations for
hundreds Of years have had to guard
with unabatine caution against the
iuroads of the former rulers OF the
Russian government The time has
come, however, when Japan and
China can no longer STAND by and wit
ness tho accommodating grasp or the
kaiser. There are two reasons One
IS that these nations are morally and
dlplonat!ca}ly bound to assist In the
war against Germany. The other,
and far greater reason. Is that Japan
and China must prevent the German
empire from taking an eastward
course.
Russia is beginning to understand
the situation. 1t is reported that
Washington Is considering seriously
the recognition If the present de facto
government OF Russia. and that
kerenslty is even now on his way to
visit America. II these things mean
anything. they mean that Russia be-
gins TO see that America is her
friend, and that Japan and China will
be welcomed to the rescue. 1t also
means that President Wilson is the
diplomatic master that is making it
possible.
