Railroad Cession Could Reimburse Japan for War Expenses
Russia plans to cede a costly railroad to China, with Japan and China arranging payment terms to liquidate part of Tokyo’s wartime costs. The line, built with government funds, is presented as owned by a Russian Chinese bank. Attaches expect no major battle during peace talks at Portsmouth, but risk of broader conflict remains if negotiations stall. Russia hints at possible concessions over Sakhalin if talks falter.
