THE FAR EAST.
AN AUCKLANDER'S IMPRESSIONS. YB TEI>EOtKA.rH —PRESS AKSOCIATION. AUCKLAND, June 22. Mr G. V. Patterson, an Aucidand gum merchant, returned by the Mokoia, yesterday, having paid a third visit to China and Japan, within four years. He spent most of his time this trip in Manchuria, Korea and Japan. Asa general rule, he found the conditions very unsettled. The situation in Manchuria, is very grave indeed. The Chinese are so,incensed at their treatment at the hands of the Japanese that they would welcome the Russians back with open arms. There can only bo one end of the situation, says Mr Patterson, and that is war between China and Japan. A similar condition of things existed in Korea, and was bound to lead to friction.' Russia would be very glad to see China become the aggressor, and come in later. Japan was on the verge of bankruptcy, and Russia within the next ten years would be in a better position to fight Japan than she was before the late war.
