Russia, it is explained, is disposed to attach less value to.joint action since her interests have been fully secured by the successful campaign in Manchuria. Moreover, Russia is not willing to "follow the irreconcilable policy of some of the powers." The expectation is that the Chinese government is about to utilize all its resources of duplicity to. keep the powers occupied with vain negotiations and proposals and the dispatching of notes to gain time until the winter, counting on the rigor of the climate to prevent military operations and allow China to gather her resources for a spring campaign.
