"hut when was this information coin- Pl Ute ? When was this knowledge certain ? PlN N ot in our tIme , but in the time of the late g overnment The mstter , as I have said , is go gm uch too serious for anything in the nature o f recriminatIon. In 5tiilL a case it secms to roe that. the tu quoque argument is worse t han absurb it is mischievous and almost u npatriotic. I only refer to It to shmw the d ifficulty of the case , not to blame the late g overnment , and wh n Sir William liarE c ourt accuses us ? fdnt of foreslht and o f not having made preparations , at least It is ratr to say tc him : 'What PreParatiens d id you make when for the first time you b ecame acquainted with the weakness of C hina , with her absolute Incapacity to resist t he rulvanco of Ittissia ? ' After that It wits o nly a question of time , antI of a short time , w hen rtssu would come to l'ort Arthur a nd extend her influence In the province of t ianchuria. Yet the hate government took n o steps to come to an understanding with R ussia , On tbo contrary , it infUsed to j oin Itussia , and Irance , and Germany in t he intervention which ( hose powers made i n order to lurewent Japan from having Port A rthur. I do not say that they were wrong , I t is lOSSibie , of course , that if they had J oined they might have made their own t erms , but whether tha , be so or nat they a llowed the oportunity to go by , nnd they d id nothing. What followed ? Thin tncvltablo f ollowed , as It always does. ItuiNMin's ruulp.
