Only 300 mi. north of Harbin, 400 mi. northwest of Vladivostok, the new Jewish state was precisely in the hypothetical line of march of the next Russo-Japanese War. Six years ago Soviet Russia marked it as Jewish, moved in several thousand Jews from Western Russia, Lithuania, the U. S., Argentina and Palestine. Many of them moved right out again. The soil was rich; the crops of wheat and oats were heavy; iron, coal, graphite, marble and gold lay in the hills; the rivers ran with salmon and the forests with game. The neighbors, Russians and a few Koreans, were...

What to substitute for a plebescite will present a knotty problem to the League, involving as it does the larger question of what sort of provision is to be made for the national minorities. Perhaps the best solution is the adoption of some plan like that in use in Lithuania; if this were used the Saar could be awarded to Germany, but only with adequate provision for the protection of the pro-French anti-Nazi minority. Or it might be possible to establish the Saar as an autonomous district under the League, although this would be a very dubious experiment...
