Stops Wheat Exports Portend Russian Move on Manchuria
In Peking on July 2 the Russian administration at Newchwang halted wheat exports to Japan. Grain exports from Chinese ports remain illegal, yet Russia previously disregarded the rule. Over the past week Japan secured several shiploads from Newchwang as Russia positions six armed commercial boats on the Liao river under General Kondradovich. The action signals Russia’s aim to retain Newchwang and river control, while many Russian civilians and soldiers with families move into Manchuria, likely to accelerate colonization plans.
