SUPPLIES FOR RUSSIA.
JAPANS PART IN THE WAR
The large supplies of goods which are being sent to Russia from Japan were referred to yesterday by Mr. A. J. Lamb, Christchurch, who has returned from Japan, via Australia. He said that Japanese factories were working at high speed supplying the requirements of the Russian Army. There was no doubt but that Japan was largely responsible for the Russian successes on the eastern front. Russian buyers in Japan were offering almost any price for all kinds of articles. Russia, as an agricultural rather than a manufacturing country, had relied on i Germany for her manufactured goods to I such an extent that Russia did not know how she would manage without German goods after the war. To day she was just as dependent on Japanese goods, and it was natural that an alliance should have come to pass.
