SIR J. G. WARD'S VIEWS.
OHRISTCHURCH, February 2
Speaking at Hanmer yesterday, Sir Joseph Ward said ho was fcuro that for all time it would be. a terrible thing if Japan should go to war and did not win. He did not know what rhe result would bo should a nation like Russii gain the control over 300,000,000 Chinese. The Japanese, had won their victory against the. Chinese fairly, out another great and powerful country had snatched, the fruits of the victory from Them, 'lhe Japanese were entitled to ha-^e those fruits back again, either by agreement rr by a battle. He hop-xl war would not result, but if it did, he hoped that tho Japanese would bo as victorious against Russia as they had been against the Chinese.
