-Mr, S. Yoshloka, late or Stanford
university ami manager of the Orien-
tal Trading rorapany, Is In Spokan
for i.io purposo of organizing
branch office of that company, Oth
cr branch offices are already cstnb-
llsheil at Kallspell niil Harvard, with
neattquartcrs at Seattle. Tho compa-
ny supplies too railroads with Japan
ese laborers, of whom nearly 5,000
are already uoiking for tho Great
rorthern and Northern Pacific roads.
.Mr. osmoka Is well known ns
political economist and author. When
seen yesteruny by a Press man the
little gentleman was very pleased to
express nimsolf concerning the trou
me urcwing over the Orient. Ho said
wnatevor It was that prompted
the Russian emperor to advocate the
peace conference at Tho Hague, cer
tain it is that the Russian policy is
aisturuing me entire world, involv
ins every power. The Integrity tf
the mammoth empire is about to b
snattered, perhaps swallowed up.
wo denounce the Russlin art of
diplomacy, in the art of modern ii
piomacy a negotiation between bona
fide nations means the rights of
each arc to be respected. In the
eyes of Russian diplomats no Inter
est nut melr own are recognized
mat tneir policy has no dlscrlmim
non uetween ngnt and wrong in
cicarjy shown by hundreds of In
stances like the following: In 1SC0,
when China was worn out by the sup
pression of rebellions and Invaded by
tho armies of England and France
Russia took the canltal of Pekln nn.l
abrogated the treaty. Shortly after
this event a proposal whereby Rue
sla should hold the mononolv In the
opening of the mines and the con
struction of railroads in northern
t-ina, was made in tho presence of
tne envoys of England, tho United
States, Hermany, France, Japan, 11
ami Austria nut iy tliem was
nullified.
"Treaty after treaty was made and
aereated until Russia was compell
to Beck more subtle indirection. Vu
welcomed the treaty to evacuate
Manchuria at a fixed date, but all the
worm knows tuat Russia will oot
keep her word.
iuv urst evacuation was to ie
uctooer S, 1P02; the second, April 8:
iw; wio wiru, uctooer 8, same yeir.
ine nrsi was maue. but when ih.
date of tho second came around, In-
sieaa or me departure of the Co
sacks, Russia waB engaged In fottl
fylng strategic points. The date of
tne tliird evacuation has long slne:
passed. Riibbia has broken her word.
There Ik not a country on the Rus
sian- border that has not suffered from
Russian treachery Poland, Turkey,
uulgarla, I'eisla, Afghanistan. East
inula was coveted. Central Asia suli-
jugated, and finally comes the deceit
practicea on Japan.
"Manchuria has a population or 0,
000,000. It Is this rare that nroduced
the great Jlnkls Khan, whoso name
has been a terror to all Europe and
Asia, u .ussia gained a swav over
tins neuigeront race .t would bo easy
'o raise diiu.iioii terrible warriors and
sweep triumphantly from north to
south. In that case England would
get a slice of territory with Wel-HI-
Wei as its center: (lermany would
grasp an extensive district along
iviymi unan nay, franco would, claim
the southern portion; Amol -would go
to uncle Ham and Janan would take
the coast territory opposlto Formosa
iBland. For the sake of peace Japan
baa donned Its war equipments, Jap
an demands the keeping of trio treaty
and the immediate evacuation f
.Manchuria. Japan has gven Russia
two weeks In which to consider and
i choose peace or war.
"Do I entertain any doubts regard
ing tho Issue? No' Japan's cause Is
Just; her ground Is firm; she occu
pies a tilumphanl position; has a
belter class of warships, more expert
enco In maneuvering them. Even
without the- help of England we feel
ronfldent. It would not bo a difficult
thiug for Japaneso spies, Jn tho dis
guise of Chinamen, to burn bridges
and destroy rallrpads over which thd
Russian army is compelled to travel.
Wo are anxious for war. If Russia
yields to our declaration, it may
mean a misfortune to the world's wel
fare. Sooner or later a war must
come "
Mr. Yoshloka's stay In Spokane
may be limited because his Interests
in Japan may at any moment occa
sion his departure.
