THE BRITISH AGI

STATEMENT BY M. IBVOLSKY

· Paris, July 25.t Interviewed by the correspondent of the Journal at St. Petamburg, M. Jsyolsky, Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs, is reported to | hive, raid that the approaching meeting bey tween President Fallières and the Tear would

contribute to ensure will more the peace of the world, for the Franco-Russian Alliance was, above all, a great factor of peace. This was even is essential characteristic, and the whole world recoguired its happy influence in this respect No. Doe, moreover, contested the necomity of political groupings. ".

If Russia had not been frankly in agreement with Great Britalo, was it not certain that in the course of the period of crisas there would have been a real perit of complications and con fic:a? To-day the situation was well defined and perfectly clear. Great Britain and Russis kaow that they were sot competing with ông another, and that neither of them aimed at do- mination in Persia. Both wished to respect the integrity of that country, and darired that order and tranquillity abould be as linle "as possible disturbed.

For Russia this last point was of great im- portance, for it was evident that she had very active commercial relations with" the country

Russia only asked to be allowed to extend.

Therefore, the Anglo-Russian understanding was very useful to each of the two Powers, and it was, in addition, very advantageous 10 Persia bèrself, since that country was now certain that, ber two powerful neighbours desired nothing more than her economic development and her tranquillity.

NO THOUGHT OF KEVANGS. In regard to Macedonian affairs M. Irvalsky „said that Russia would only act in concert with the Powers and with care to preserve the peace of Europe. In the Far East, declared M. Tavolsky, Russia desired coly the maintenance of the status quo. She fostered no thought of revenge or aggression. Peace in that part of the world had been definitely sealed, be hoped, by Russia's agreement with Japan which had been completed in su effective's manner by the Anglo-Russian agreement. 14 Russia built an Amur Railway it was solely because the had naturally to assure the defence of Vladivo tok

·and of the Amur territories, which she regarded

as a heritage that could not be lost.

In conclusion the Minister repeated that nil the efforts of Russia tended" jo ensure that

peace was sol disturbed in Europe or else. where. Pasia desired to maintain her good relations with Germany; but that feeling could exist without affecting the alliance with France, which was the basis of Russia's foreign policy, a most brilliant demonstration of which would be seen at Roval-Reuter,

Residents, especially foreigners, who are the greatest victims, should devise some means to infoguard their interests from the ravages of such servants.
