There is a litle game being played to the East which should be of absorbing interent to America, It is the attempt upon the part of Russia and Japan to secure commercial control of Easters markets, to oust England from them and to keep out the rest of the world from any great position there. It is not played openly. Strange ramours, exaggerated statements and lies are circulated to distract attention from the real issue. War is talked about. But there will be no war in this business, and the only sulphur used will be strictly for commercial purposes.
