MUST COMBAT
GERMAN ACION
Continued from First Pei

reNoluuon. Wnen autocracyell al
most without a blow. Russiimme-
diately fell into chaos. It untrue
to say the same thing hap'ned in
the French revolution for tre the
effect was not the disintegran. but
the integration of France. -ecisely
the opposite happened in Russia.
The revolution came and athe old
divisions between regions al creeds
became marked and promint.
1T must inevitably take me be-
fore we will see the end of at pro-
cess and to know clearly IN much
of Old Russia, If any, ougho cease
to form part of New Ruia, and
how New Russia will be cGtituted.
il is very difficult procesin time
of peace and prosperity, ut how
can you carry it on in tin, of war
with a remorseless, perseving and
quite INSCRIPTIONS enem at the
gate?
Russian Liberty &c
There will be classes, sne from
patriotic, others from self; motives
ready to welcome anythir promis-
ing semblance of stabili and or
der in the government. hen that
time comes / can imagine Germany
trying to re-establish peibly the
old form of autocratic gernment.
We should then have Ruia shorn
of some of it's fairest pronces and
with a kind of autocracyar worse
than the old autocracy, ecause it
would lean upon foreigDower for
continued existence. If tn came to
pass all our dreams of Issian de-
velopment and Russian lihty would
be gone and Russia woulbecome a
mere outpost of the Cent? Powers.
THAT is the real difficty of deal
ing with the problems raed in this
debate. Mr.. Lees-Smith' speech is a
strong attack on what l conceives
as the governments poly with re-
gard to Japan and SibeI. 1t is en-
tirely oblivious of the cts / have
Just brought before the Duse and is
based on a. profound understand
ing of what any huma being had
ever thought, contrivecor desired,
Japanese or other, in tussian af-
fairs"
II. E. Lees-Smith, sLiberal, in
questioning Mr.. Balfoh as to the
British attitude, had deared that If
Japan entered Russianerritory and
occupied ii at the mantle of the al
lance, it followed withlmost abso-
lutte certainty that is territory
would not be returned
II cannot let this delte end" said
Mr.. Balfour, in conclron, without
repudiating to the fts Mr.. Lees
Smiths suggestion ths Japan would
be moved by selfish nd dishonor-
able motives in any curse which
may be discussed in apan. either
among her statesmenr with the al
lies.
Japan has behave with perfect
loyalty and if she YES promises
with regard to Russn integrity or
on any question conrcted with Rus |
sia, she would keep EN- as she has
kept all promises 81 has made in |
connection with thiiwar or in any
great public TRANSITIONS with the |
United States and T. allies. l draw
no distinction in is matter be-
tween Japan and he allies who
make up the great )dy of the belli- |
gerents on the Enttte side.
The decisions I'll allies may have
to take will not be ithout difficulty, |
but the principle 1on which those
decisions may be aived at it will be |
neither ungenerou unfair nor hos |
tile to Russia and ne Russian revo- |
luton. Our objects to see Russia |
strong, intact, sece and free, and
if these objects an be obtained |
then, and then on, will the Russian |
revolution bring rth all the fruits
its best friends dire to see."
