Struve general is disastrous, but that it is in consider ing her action in the Far East that its dan- garons economic and political consequeno:2 may be best estimated. He maintains that the desire for a free access to the Pacific Ocean, which has inspired the conquest of Manchuria, is incapable of realistion and in flagrant contradiction with the vital luterests of Russia The enormous expenditure, both of mes and money, which has already taken place and will continue to be necessary will prevent the internal development of the country. The hundreds of millions spent on the construction of the Manchurian Railway would have tes, roya M. trave, much better employed in the organisation of primary education, in the transformation of secondary education, and in the improvement of Universities in Russia. He points out, moreover, tist Russia possesses more illiterate people thro any other country, the proportion of illterites to the rest of the population being about 91 per cant.
