MOSCOW.-Anyo one who was in
Moscow in the olden time under the
czarist regime will remember THE
Hermitage" a gorgeous restaurant
and hotel where the nobility and
others who had the clothes and the
money were entertained in princely
splendor. The building lent itself to
regal decoration. The stairways were
marble, the halls spacious. the vistas
wide and sweeping. Between the res
taurant proper and a stone arcade for
Summer evenings in the rear was a
garden with fountains, music and
flowers. Nothing, they say, was more
lavishly set up in Russia than this
restaurant The decorations were rich
and in good taste. The pictures were
originals. The furniture was heavy
and hand-carved. The glittering chan
deliers threw floods of light on Per-
sian and Turkish rugs.
The Soviets made short and practi-
cal work of all this splendor. When
they nationalized this hosiery, to-
gether with all other property-that

strongly for retention of his post by
Gen. Kondylis (who had rendered his
resignation to President Kontouri-

elections are to be held on November
under the proportional system and
the post of minister of the interior
has been offered to a Monarchist this

and magnanimous handling of most

Necessity No Longer
Keeps Japanese Single

Because of the excess male Japa-
nese population over the female In
Hawaii, Japanese were allowed to
bring in thousands of picture
brides" under the gentlemen S
agreement" between the United
States and Japan. The picture
bride" business was, in brief, the
bringing over of japanese women
chosen as wives of Japanese hus-
bands in Hawaii through the ex-
change of photographs. Usually the
bride. at home in Japan, was shown
the picture Of the prospective bride
groom, and he. in some Hawaiian
plantation village, saw a picture OF
the girl who was to be sent to him
as his wife. The civil ceremonies
were often concluded in Japan under
a proxy arrangement. Usually a
church ceremony followed in Homo
lulu, as soon as the girl was released
from the immigration station. The
immigration act of 1924 put an end
to that matrimonial scheme. but by
that time the biological normal had
been reached. Now most Japanese
bachelors here are single by choice.
There are plenty of young American
born girls Of Japanese blood, and the
need OF picture brides" has ceased.

A POLICY OF PATIENCE
BY HIROSI SAITO.
Consul General of Japan in New York.

The recent trend of Japan's policies
toward China and Russia Is easily &C
counted for. In regard to China, she
takes the attitude, first, of strict nom
interference in the domestic affairs of
that country: she wishes to see, with
other interested powers, an early sta
biliZation of political conditions; she
regrets that no appreciate measure
of progress has as yet been MADE IN
that direction, but she knows that IL
is a tremendous task for China, and
will watch the developments with
sympathy and hope.
In this connection, it is worth not
ing that Japan is following the exam
pie of the United States in steps to
help China along educational and cul-
tural lines, entirely Independent OF
political affairs. The Japanese gov
eminent has allotted the balance OF
the Boxer indemnities and the price of
the Shantung railway and govern
ment properties in Tsintao to such
purposes as the advancement OF edu-
cation, art, sanitation, charity, etc. In
China and for Chinese. Cultural stud
les of China will be encouraged in ia
pan with part of the fund.
Secondly, Japan naturally under
takes to safeguard her legitimate in
terests in China. There are about
1863. 900 Japanese residents in that
country, engaged in various callings
and industries representing consid-
cradle amount of investment. Her
greatest interest is naturally in Man
churia, which is being turned into a
highly productive and prosperous land
through the aid of the South Manchu-
ria railway. 1t is operating its bust
ness as a trust of civilization. and its
policies are formed according to its
avowed aim: I'm the interests of all
humanity"
Thirdly, it is the desire Of Japan to
promote economic cooperation be-
tween the two peoples. subject always
to the principle of equal opportunity.
That desire is being reQuited by the
Chinese people There are already
several Chino-Japanese joint enter
prises AS a result of the visit to ia
pan of Chinese business mems party.

Chamber of Commerce Of Shanghai
during May and June last. a move
ment for the serious study of such
economic rapprochement seems to
have been started anew in China.
Japan's recognition of Russia, was,
Of course, actuated by the desire to
resume a good relationship with the
immediate neighbor, and 1t Is un-
deniable that economic considerations
were working on both Moscow and
Toxic. In addition, Japan wished to
be in normal relations with Russia as
early as possible in order that the
already COMPOUNDED situation in China
be not worse COMPOUNDED by the addi-
ton of mystic and possibly ire
sponsible element.
The RuSsO-Japanese basis conven-
ton of 1925 contains a unique article
which we'll indicates the economic
phase of the Russo-Japanese relations
1t reads:
I'm the interest of promoting eco
nomic relations between the two coun-
tries, and taking into consideration the
needs of Japan with regard to natu-
raj resources. the Government of the
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics is
willing 70 grant to Japanese subjects
companies and associations conces-
sions for the exploitation of minerals
forests and other natural resources in
all the territories of the Union of So
Wet Socialist Republics"
Detailed arrangements as to oil and
coal concessions were concluded in
November. 1925, and the question OF
forestry is actually pending.
Such policies Of peace and friend.
ship with the neighboring countries
Is only a concomitant of Japan's in.
naturalization policy at home. She
wishes to make the country a manu-.
featuring center. with Russia, China,
India and the United States as the
chief buyers of her goods and the
chief suppliers of raw materials to
feed her industries. She has no
other choice, and she is satisfied with
the situation, entertaining, as she
does, an implicit faith in her energy
and ability to work out her own
economic salvation.
