CHINA AND JAPAN.
Mr G. V. Pattkrson, an Auckland kauri gum merchant, returned by the Mokoia recently, having paid his third visit to China and Japan within four years. He spent most of this trip in Manchuria, Corea and Japan. As a general rule, he found the conditions very unsettled. The situation in Manchuria was very grave indeed, and the Chinese were so incensed at their treatment at the hands of the Japanese that they would welcome the Russians back with open arms. There could be only one end to the situation, said Mr Patterson, and that was war between China and Japan. A similar condition of things existed in Corea, and it was bound to lead to friction. Russia would be very glad to see China become the aggressor, and come in later on. Japan was on the verge of bankruptcy, and Russia, within the next ten years, would be in a better position .to fight Japan than before the late war.
