Japan's Position,

Much of Japan's future in Man- churia, where she bas billions of pen invested, may depend on Shide- hara's ability in the next few months. Whether he takes any offi- cial part in the Sino-Russian negotiations or not, his opinion which will represent the weight of the 80,000,000 people in the Japanese Empire-must play a powerful part in the outcome. He cannot afford to allow Japan's position in Man- churia to be weakened, and hence it seems likely his influence will go towards a peaceful settlement which likely will provide for a continua- tion of the former joint operation of the Chinese Eastern Railway by China and Russia.
