When Japan hd made complete the tale of ber victories over Russia her prestige stood imcomparably higher than that of any other. gation having dealings with China. It is not too much to say that China was lost in ad- miration of her prowess and attainments: of her former adversary, if she was not indeed ready (without sufficient consideration of the possible results) to place herself in lead-

alike' in the arts-of-war-and-peaca. It was scarcely surprising that Japan should not only acquiesce in these expectations of national ad- vancement under her angis, but should do her Per Bot. best to encourage them. No Government, $2.50 similarly situated, could well hate' hesitat- ed to endorse the idea, as Japan did, that she was able to provide China with 5.50 |■ short and easy road to attainments of western knowledge and power such as she herself had acquired. Chinese students poured into Japan by the thousand, while Japanese of every class, and of ammo, ap- DUBONNET?peared in shoals at the Viceregalyament in the capacity of political advisers to the pro- vincial officials, and crowded into the existing government schools of this empire to impart loformation of which they had themselves but··ឌដ imperfect understanding.

diplomatic blunders, such as the use of threat- ading language to the high officials in Peking; the Telau Mare affir; the encroachment of Japan on various pretexts in Maudhuria and Korea; these things have filled up the cup of national jedigation, until today over the length and breadth of China, wherever political affairs are understood the bias is as much against Japan as it was once in het favour.

AGENTS,

It may be argued that to express the situa tion thus bluntly, however undeniable the truth of the description, is no good way to effect a remedy. But even if we could believe, in the present instance, in the possible, advantage of applying soft words to hard facts, it must be remembered that the position of affairs between China and Japan is fully recognised by some of the wisest minds'in the latter country, and that it could not be more harshly represented' than it is already in the Chinese native press. For

cause or another Japan has not done

herself justice in her dealings with ibis nation. Count Okuma, perhaps the most distinguished publicist in the land, has tameoled, in a recent article, the mistakes that have accompanied

that if Japan hat met with Irritating obstacles In dealing with China, sho is not the only nation to bave a similar experience. But the moral of such reflections is surely, thei when two parties find themselves in dispute, it is always easier for the stranger of the two to give way. From a puroly business point of view there is nothing to be gained by exciting China's animosity. There are certainly manifold advantages to be reaped In cultivating ber friendship and confidence, not the least of which, perhaps, would be the beneficial effect that the re-establishment of International goodwill must exercise on Japan's position in the syas of other mations-N.
