THE PEACE QUESTION,
A JAPANESE PRESS OPINIONS.
Now that the opening of the peace con.. ference is approaching the question of peace is absorbing the public attention more than ever, the more to owing to what pre considered the raiher indiscreet utterance attributed to M. Wille and also the superior tone adopted by the Russian journals.
Witte's mission is merely in the nature of a "feeler." We are willing to assume, the Tokyo journal continues, that such is not the inten- tion of Russia, for, if it is true; it is an in- excusable act on Russia's part and is tan- tamount to insulting Japan and President Roosevelt and deceiving the whole world. Even supposing M. Wilte's powers are without 'flaw, it is still open to doubt whether Russla is really sincere in her desire for peace if we are to judge from the attitude of her statesman and Press. What makes the prospect any- thing but reassuring is that Russia seems to place herself in a falie position, as if she were dictating terms to Japan instead of terma being

Writing on this subject, the Nichi-Nichi says the tone of the Russian journals on the peace question is as superficial as it is grandiloquent dictated to her, and as if she regards the dis- whence and/or from the wharvas delivery may

If Russia is not yet awakened from the blind stubbornness which has characterised her doings throughout. lab her to her senges by les peupeline means. The lack of earnestness with regard to bring peaceable to peace on the part of Russia is perhaps due to the assumption that Japan is alrendy tired of the war, and the hope that Linevitch may yet be able to turn the tide of battle. If Russia builds her hopes on such grounds she is likely to be disappointed in the future as she has been in the past, for nothing is further from the truth on probabilities than such assump- tions-Japan Chronicle,
to make out the best case possible for their country. But what is surprising is that Russian statesmen in responsible positions should give vent to expressions of a similar character. These have gone so far as to allege that Russia is not so much cancerned about peace as is Japan, for if the worst comes to the worst the Russians would simply evacuate North Man-

Japanese in the lurch. Such an argument, the Tokio journal says, is not worth the paper on which it is printed. The withdrawal of the Russians further inland is actually what is de- sired by the Japanese, as in that case the latter would be enabled to carry out the occupation

of Russian territory with less expenditure of GRAND
life and treasure than would be the case by its forcible occupation. Russia, it should be dis tinctly understood, must abandon all hope of the restoration of territory thus occupied by Japan. One can hardly imagine, however, that the reckless course advocated by the Russian Press is seriously entertained by the responsi ble authorities in Russia.
There is no denying, continues the Nichi- Nichi, that Russian finance is in a deplorable plight. All available resources have been ex-. hausted, the war chest is empty, and there seems no other course open than the issues of non-convertible notes. That France is in no mood to provide further funds for Russia for the continuance of the war is very clear from what the Paris correspondent of the Times has written on the subject. Since the fall of Port Arthur the faancial credit of Russia abroad kas become almost nil. After the failure of her loan in France, Russia had recourse to a domestic loan; which, though it was claimed as having been covered to twice the amount appears, from the disclosures tnade by the Paris correspondent of the Financial Times, only to have reached, so far as public subscriptions are concerned, ona- eighth of the amount required. However, the Russing Press may indulge in grand talk as to the prosecution of the campaign, it is an ill- concealed fact that the Muscavile finance is on the verge of bankruptcy. Russia may manage tu temporarise by issuing non-convertible notes, but this would be to add more misery and distress to the already over-burdened people, and would be calculated to spread morė dis- content among them. In short, the allegation that the cessation of hostilities at this stage is more advantageous to Japan than to Russia is no more true than that the latter is capable .of a continuation of the war, and the sooner Russin decides to bow to the inevitable the better it will be for her and her people.
The Tokyo Asahi questions the plenary powers of M. Witte The tenor of some of the recent telegrams, says our contemporary, leads the people to doubt whether M. Witte is vested with full power for conducting the peace negotiations. This is discernible even in what purports to be the conversation of M. Witte himself. The two Chisese peaco' envoys who came to Hiroshima ten years ago to attemp, lo make peace were sent away as they were im- perfecily vested with, plenary power, and from what is reported it is not at all unlikely that history may repeat itself at the coming con. ference. Considering the circumstances under with the meeting of the representatives of the belligerent countries has been brought about, one can hardly imagine that Russia would take any action likely to cast reflec tion on ber good faith and sincerity. At the same time it is doubtful if the Rus sian Government-a veritable hot-bed of conflicting opinions-has agreed to entrust all the responsibilities of the peace negotia tions to a man who, whatever his reputa- tion, has been behind the scenes until recently. All things considered, we shall not be surpris. ed, concludes the Asahi, if we hear of the rup- ture of the negotiations at any moment. Should they prove abortive in consequence of the limited powers of the Russian envoy, hussia cannot shirk the responsibility of having abused the good faith of President Roosevelt as well as of Japan.
The ji Shimpo thinks that while the real attitude of the Russian Government as regards peace is almost an unknown quantity, the ap pointment of M. Witte, coming, as it did, after the resignation of men of less weight and less peaceful proclivities, may be taken as proof of an agreement in the policy of the Government, From the outset M.
