There is much talk of the

after the turn of the century
CZarist Russia was Inundated
by the japanese navy. Moscow
has a Pearl Harbor Of its own

ORDINARILY Russians may

His conduct is regulated en-

If the master of all the Rus

it will be 10 gain a position in
Asia comparable 10 the one he

Stain may never openly 90 TO

They are far too tender-hearted

They are never imprisoned. but

MAYBE the next slip out of
AVA the Yalta secrets will be
Manchuria. AT any rate, as
Europe has its Poland, so Asia
must have its captive country
and which one would be more
logical than Manchuria So, let
US talk about it a little in ad-
vance of the excitement.
To begin with, these are the
cold facts: Manchuria is sur
rounded by Siberia, Mongolia,
Korea and North China-also
the Yellow Sea. AS compared
with its neighbors, it is pre-
ferred territory, rich III agricul-
tural and mineral potentiality,
with a healthy northern climate.
Its population, before the
Japanese seized Manchuria in
1881. was above 100000 di-
vided as follows 29,000,000 Chi
nese, 800,0 900 Koreans, 250,000
japanese and about 100000 Rus
slams. That makes ii rs per-
sons per square mile in coun-
try of $4,000 square miles
which is as large as the states
of Washington. Oregon and Cali
fornia put together with Florida
thrown in. II prefer TO use
these figures TO those for the

churia is Chinese. Furthermore,
in accordance with the Cairo
agreement, the nine power pact
and numerous other documents
going back to the Sino-Japa-
nese war in 1894 and coming up
TO Yalta-Manchuria is accred-
tied with being Chinese terri
tory.
In 1914, the Nuchen Tatars
(Manchus) conquered China and
set up the Ia Ching dynasty in
Peking.
They held China until 1911
when that country became a
republic.
The Chinese increased in that
area, and after China became a
republic. Manchuria, as well as
Mongolia, was regarded as in
disputably Chinese territory, ex-
cept for a small enclave at the
southern extremity known as
the Kuantung leased territory
and the South Manchuria rail-
way zone which the japanese
held by virtue of conquest from
Russia, the Treaty of Ports
mouth and agreements with the
Chinese.
THERE seems to be some
Il tendency in over-propagan-
died America to assume that
some of this territory was once
legitimately Russian.
This has never been 50.
Russia made attempts at
possessing Manchuria but al
ways failed except for the right
TO build a railroad through that
