Our own Idea is that the Powers are all negotiating with each other in perfect friendship; that they are all making mutual concessions; that Russia has been in all courtesy reminded that the presence of her feet at Port Arthur looks slightly unpacific, or at any rate is not welcome to certain other powers; that Russla in reply has of course professed her amicable Intentions but has communicated a willingness to oblige the other powers by clearing out if the other powers will do something in re- turn, and Anally that they have been negotiating on this basis, and for the Purpose of settling terms; the minor question

This, we say, is possible and we prefer always to take a pacific view when possi ble. If this is not the correct view then we can only conclude that Japan is trying a bluff la order to drive England, Into a fight, willy nilly. In that case probably Russia will not become aggressive at once but will communicate with the other powers a suggestion that influence ought to be brought on Japan to be a trifle less $45 obnoxious and probably Japan will have to submit. It is not possible that England would support Japan In that attitude-of that we feel certain.
