The project to onlist English and Japanese sympathy toward Busia by meline of a journal printed in English, but Russian in sentiment, strikes us as interest ing, but it looks as if it would be a costly, experiment. Doubtless the Russian -Go-Secui, verament might be induced to subsidise But is it to the paper to a certain extent. be imnglied that much good can be done? Neither Britain nor Japan desires any more. expression of Russia's goodwill and bené. volent intentions. It is to deeds that they look, and as long as Bussin's deeds corres- pond mill with her words, so long the provalent feelings can only be distrust and dialike.
