THE TERMS OF PEACE,

- Views of an Extremist.

Dr T. Seng, Hogakuhakushi (now Pło- fessor in the Kyoto University) contributes to the current number of the Remus Diplo

matique (a Japaneso magazine) an article on the terms of peace, which, in view of the present situation, will be road with interest.

Although the Japanese people are united in the prosecution of the war, BAYB Dr. Senga, they seem to have arrived at no common understanding as to the principal conditions on which peace is to be restored, and the lack of unity in this respect may result disastrously for Japan when the fruits- of victory conie.to be gathered in. Regard. ing the terms of peace Japanese opinion is as widely divided so the views are divergent. Among the moderates there are those wlio would like to see the war stop with the occupation of Harbin or Vladivostock; the latter to be merely held pending payment of an indemnity by Russia. On the other hand, one section of the "inflexiblos" insista on the annexation of Vladivostock 1378 irrespective of indemnity; the second saye the war must go on until the Baikal is reached; while the third, the most strenuous, urges that the campaign should be pushed on to the west of the Baikal. As the war is conducted by the united resolve the nation, so the terms of peace, on which the future welfare of the 'country depend, must be sought by the united Action of the people. It is the

Kamchatka, and Saghalien, but all the Russian territory east of the Baikal should. be annexed to Japan. Some people would oppose the acquisition of a great extent of territory on the ground that it would prove a drain on Japanese resources, and they would prefer an indemnity to the extension of territory. They seem to lose sight of the dangers likely to result from such a policy. If Japan should agree to conclude peace with the annexation of Port Arthur and Saghalien àlonio, Russia will not abandon her polioy of aggrandisement in the Far East. Probably she will endeavour to strongly fortify territory cast of the Baikal, and make Vladivostock so strong 80 to be" impregnable. The be doubled or Siberian Railway will be quadrupled so that troops and sup plies may be sent to the East with the utmost promptitude in case of emergency. 12:3 Of course Japan will station in Manchuria a sufficient number of troops to cope with the Russians, but it is problematical whether Japan could be as successful as in the present campaign should hostilities ROOMS, on the Ground Floor of the break out again after Russia had strongly

Some people may combat the idea that the demand for Japanese goods in Man- churia is to be regarded in the same light as in Japan proper, and will conse quently urge that it would be a mistake to start industries in anticipation of such a market. True, Manchuria will not be annoxed to Japan, but Japanese troops will not evacuate Mancharia after the re- storation of peace for obvious reasone, Consequently, Manchuria will come under Japan's sphere of influence and Japanise business men will have an opportunity for activity there.

For the reasons stated abovo, concludes Dr Sengo, it is necessary, if Japan as- pires to be a first-class industrial country, to carry out the military occupation of Manchuria in the future and to annex the territory enst of Lake Baikal as a condition of peace.

When play was resumed yesterday the rain which had fallen during the previous night had completely changed the wicket. From DAIRY FARM CO., LD., a 'tricky' wicket it became difficult. England had already compiled a very rospectable score and with a difficult wicket before them the policy, as follow- ed by Jackson, was to get as many ad- ditional runs in as short a space
