ment that tho belief in official circles

Japan to a voice in tho settlement of
Manchurlan affairs, which Japan con
siders ono of Its most vital Intorosts,
and to sustain which tho Japanese
government Is determined to rosort to

trality would banish tho spoctor of a
Russian occupation of Pekln, which

event of Russia's approach, the court
would fcavo Pekln and tho capital
would bo removed to tho lntorlor.
