It is doubtless extremely attentive of Russia thus to take the world into her confidence, but curiously no one askel her, and the "confidence trick," we should have thought was rather a belated device at this stage of the proceedings. The curious thing is that Russia should take any steps to prove ber uprightness. Why does she do it ?. As a first-class Power it is not a customary thing for her to make these uncalled for excuses. If Russia wants to grab Marichuria, surely she is big enough to do so. We do not desire to be the keepers of ber con- science, and she surely does not think that we are at all likely to be deceived by this claptrap. It would be more dignified, as well as more straightforward, on her part

It is not too much to say that the main political interest of the world is at the moment concentrated on the game being played between Russia and China in the Far East. Of Russia and China it is but a truism to say that they are very much alike in most things—only more so. Both are vast and overgrown Empires; both are nominally autocracies of the most com- promising nature, and in both the nominal head is little more than a puppet. Both are distinguished for general ill-faith, and disrespect for engagements; and finally, we may say that both are dominated by their provinces. But herein comes a strange con- trust; while in one--China-that influence
