RUSSIA ONLY CHECKED
Conditions existing on the frontiers
of th?* Russian Empire do not permit
those who hold Muscovite prowess
cheapest to believe that the world ha
s? en the last of that heavy Russian
pressure upon neighboring nations
which has been so vital an influence
in world politics for the last two hun
dred years. It grows clearer every
day that Russia has been only check
ed. not brought to a standstill for
good.
The arrogance and activity of Rus
sian officials in Manchuria does not
look like giving effect to the provis
ions of the treaty of Portsmouth. It
is quite clear that nothing but heavy
pressure, perhaps from Japan. Great
Britain and the United States, will
bring Russia to book in eastern Asia,
even now.
On the western frontier of the
Czar's vast empire, many thousand
miles from Manchuria, it Is to Russia
that the Servians look for an ally In
case of war with Austria. The atti
tilde of the Russian government is
decidedly menacing to the latter pow
er. and it is certain that Russia still
maintains her old position as one of
the arbiters of international affairs
in the Balkan peninsula. Nor is it
doubtful that Austria-Hungary, lik
other neighbors of the huge Russian
army, fear that It might be far more
formidable at close quarters, in Eu
rope, than it proved .">,000 miles
from the center of Russian power in
the Japanese war.
But the most important element in
the Muscovite problem which still
troubles the statesmen of Europe is
the enormous gains of the Russian na
tion. in bulk and natural resources.
It is not so much that Russia's out
posts are not withdrawn from Man
churia as it Is that Russia is con
stantlv growing out Into Siberia at the
rate of probably 1,000,000 men, wo
men and children every year. The in j
crease in the Russian population of S |
beria is nearly twice as great as th* 1
entire growth of the Japanese Em J
pire. It is a question of only a few I
years when Russia will confront Ja
pan with a far heavier mass, a much
more formidable bulk, than that
which the islanders attacked with
such desperate and triumphant valoi
in 1904 and 1905.
As long as Russia remains one liu
mense nation, with a greater popula
tion than that of any two European
rivals taken together, and the increase
in the numerical strength of the Czar'
subjects, year by year, is equal to
that of the Germans, the Austrians
the Hungarians, the French and the
British all told, so long Russia will
loom large and menacing across the
future of Europe and Asia. too. It is
impossible to be indifferent to th<
growth and possibilities of a country
which contains nearly or quite 130,
fiW.UOO people, the great bulk ol
whom are sturdy Europeans, of the
same blood, religion, language and na
tional traditions and sentiment. Sucti
a state, gaining more than 2,000,000 1
people anually, is certain to press
hard upon its neighbors, in both of
the continents where its posses
sions lie. ? Cleveland Leader.
