TheNewEsthonia.

EsthoniaisaProvinceofRussia, whichuntilquitelatelyneverinterestedanybody.Russiansknewina vaguewaythatitisthecornerbetweentheFinnishgulfandtheBaltic Sea,wheretheanchoviesandtheGer. man-speakingservantscamefrom,and foreignersneverheardaboutituntil thelateTzarreceivedtheKaiserand thePresidentofFranceinReval,the chieftownofthisProvince.

SincethebeginningofthewarEsthoniahashadalivelybutdistinctly unpleasanttime.Revalandthe islandstothewestbecameoneofthe principalnavalbases,andalltheProvincewasusedasadepotformilitaryreserves.Thedamagewrought bythetroopswasconsiderable,but evenmoreunpleasantwasthecampaignundertakenbythechauvinistic pressagainsttheEsthoniannobility. BeingmainlyofGermanextraction, andhavingconservedtheuseofa Germandialecttheywereaccusedof pro-Germansympathies,andevenof treason,andweretreatedaccordingly.

Asamatteroffacttheyhadbeen perfectlyloyal,and,besides,thelanguageandoriginofapeoplealonedo notevidentlydetermineitsnationality;everybodyisawarethatthough speakingthesamelanguagetheAmericansoreasdifferentfromtheEng. lishasaBelgianisfromaFrenchman. TheancestorsoftheEsthoniannobilityhadsettledinthiscountry700 yearsago,andtheirdescendantshave hadtimeenoughtodevelopintoanew andentirelydifferentrace.Thesame appliestothehigherbourgeoisie.

EsthoniansAreFinns.

Asfortheotherclassesofthepopulation,theybelongtoabranchofthe FinnishracecalledEsthonians,and areinnowayconnectedwithGermany.However.beinganalienrace. theyhavealwayshadtosufferfrom thepolicyofRussificationwhichwas carriedoutbytheImperialGovernmentinawaythatwasdistinctlybrutalandruthless,thoughatthesame timeconspicuouslyinefficient.InsteadofassimilatingtheEsthonians, thegovernmenthadonlyprovokeda violentantagonism,afeelingofnationaldevelopmentwhichhadbeen entirelyunknownintheearlierperiods ofEsthonia'shistory.

ByalawissuedbytheProvisional Government,April12,1917,localautonomywasgrantedtotheProvince ofEsthonia,andelectionsonthebasis ofuniversal,direct,secretsuffrage, withproportionalrepresentationof allraces,weretotakeplaceimmediately.Theelectedrepresentativesof thepeoplemetforthefirsttimeon July14,1917,andformedalocalgovernment,whichenteredatonceonthe exerciseofitsfunctions.OnNovember28,theNationalEsthonianCouncilproclaimedthepoliticalindependenceofEsthonia.Thismeasurewas amplyjustifiedinviewofthefact thatinthemeantimetheBOlsheyiki hadoverthrowntheProvisionalGovernmentandweresubstantiatingthe, bynowsowellknown,idealsoftheir creed.

EstablishingBolshevistMisrule. UnfortunatelyEsthoniawasnotdestinedtoescapethehorrorsofBolshevism.Thelocalpopulationwas butlittlepronetoindulgeinthistendency,butRevalandalltheProvince werestillcrowdedwithsoldiersand sailorswhodidnotfailtoproceedto thebutcheringandlootingthatinevitably,accompaniestheestablishmentofaBolshevistrule.

Inthebeginningof191Sthingshail reachedaclimax;confiscation,nation. alisationandotherBolshevistreforms hadbeencarriedout,andageneral slaughteroftheintellectualclasses wasimminentinordertoestablish "equality."Swedenhavingrefused allassistance,nohelpfromother quarters-andmoreparticularlyfrom theentente-beingavailable,theEsthoniannobilityappealedtoGermany, andonFebruary25.theGerman mantroopsoccupiedReval.The initiativeofthisappealbelongstothe nobilitywho,inthecapacityoflarge land-ownersandEapitalists,weremore directlyaffectedbytheBolshevistpolicy,andalargenumberofwhomhad alreadybeentakenashostages,whilst hadbeenshot.Itseems,infact. thattheGermantroopsarrivedin thenickoftime,inordertoprevent wholesalebutchering.

ingtothestipulationsofthissomewhatantiquatedact,wererecognised astheonlylocalrepresentativesofall theclassesofthepopulation.

Itcaneasilybeunderstoodthatbysuchapolicywhichfavouredina mosttactlessmannertheprivileged minority,thelatterwasputinavery delicateandfalseposition.Tothe friendlyunderstandingthathadbeen reachedsincetherevolution,inface ofthecommonenemy,succeededa feelingofcombinedsocialandracial antagonism,whichfounditsjustificationwhenthenewNationalAssembly,byaresolutionissuedinMarch 1918,pronounceditselfinfavourofa personalunionbetweenEsthoniaand Prussia.

Inthemeantime,themembersof thefirstNationalCouncilhadsought refugeinothercountries,andhadthe satisfactionofbeingrecognisedby England,FranceandItalyinthe capacityofdefactorepresentativesof theEsthonianState.Thecollapseof Germanyandthesubsequentremoval oftheGermantroopsfromEsthonia gavetheNationalCounciltheopportunityofreassumingpowerinthe country.ButatthesametimereappearedthedangerofaBolshevist invasion;ittookplacealmostimmediatelyandthegreaterpartofthe countryfellintothehandsofpillaging RedGuards.Bytheheroiceffortof thequicklyorganisedEsthonian Army,secondedbyRussian,Finnish, andSwedishvolunteers,thetemporarygovernmentsucceededinrepulsingtheenemy,andhasheldhimat haysincethen.

DesirePoliticalIndependence

Whentherevolutiongavebirthto theidealofself-determinationofthe peoples,thepopulationofEsthonia believedalltheirtroublestobeatan end.Thenobilitywhichuptothe reignofAlexanderIII.,withitsnationalisticpolicy,hadbeentheundisputedmasterofthecountryexpected toresumetheirformerimportantposition.whiletheEsthonianpartofthe populationlookedforwardtorealisingtheirownlongcherishednational ideals.Theyconstituteabout90per cent.ofthepopulation,andlately countedintheirmidstaconsiderable numberofpeoplebelongingtotheintellectualclasses.

Afairlygoodunderstandingexistingatthismomentbetweenthenobilityandtheotherclassesofthe populationwemayassumethatthe timelyinterventionofGermany againstBolshevistterrorismwouldnot haveproducedanyantagonismorinternaldissentifithadnotbeenattendedwithaveryegotisticandilladv,isedpolicyonthepartoftheGermanAdministration.

GermanTyrannicalProceedings. ItbeganwithdissolvingtheNationalCouncilanditsexecutiveinstitutions,andintrustedthedifferentbranchesoftheAdministrationtopersons whoblindlyyieldedtoGermaninfluence.Newelectionswereorderedon thebasisofthetreatiesconcludedin 1710and1721betweenPetertheGreat andtheBalticnobility,which,accord-

2. Therighttoautonomyinthe realmofnationalcultureisgranted toallnationalminoritieslivinginthe republic(Russian,German,Swedish, Jewish,andallothers).

ThenationalgovernmentofEsthoniahopesthattheindependenceofthe newstatewillberecognisedbythe PeaceConference,andwilleventuallybesanctionedbyRussia.They feelconfidentthatthestatewillbe abletomaintainitseconomicandpoliticalindependence.Esthoniacovers asurfaceofabout andisconsequentlylargerthanHolland,Denmark,or-Belgium.Thepopulationnumbersatthepresentmoment morethan1,500.000.Theproduceof wood,flax,andallkindsoffoodstuffs issufficienttomeettheneedsofthe localpopulationandtoprovideasurpluswhichcouldbeexportedinexchangeforforeignmerchandise,the countrypossessingnomineralriches andscarcelyanymanufaucturingindustries.Itisexpectedthat,thanks toitsgeographicalpositionandtoits seaports.which,withtheaidoficebreakers,canbekeptopenallthrough thewinter.Esthoniawillderivemuch benefitfromthetransitofgoodscomingfromandgoingtoRussia.With aviewtofurtheringthisaim,thegovernmentintendstoestablishnocustomdutiesandtoaffordeveryfacilityfortheinternationalexchangeofgoods throughitsterritoriesandports.

FromallsidesChinahasbeenunrlerpressurebyforeignnationsanxious toexploitherresources.Russia, Japan,France,Britain,Germany-allhaveexertedpressuretosecureconcessions.Thestoryoftheseencroachmentsdiffersverylittlefromthestory ofGermany'sworldambitionswhich gaverisetotheGreatWarof1914.

Thepeacethatsucceededgaveto JapanthesuzeraintyofKoreaand valuableterritorialconcessions,includingPortArthur,inadditiontoa warindemnityof157,940,000dollars. GermanyhadorganisedJapan'svictoriousarmy.GreatBritainwasresponsiblefororganisingtheJapanese navy.EastandWesthadmetat theForgeofWar.

ButtheseJapanesevictoriesandterritorialgainswerenottothelikingof Russia. RussiaGermanyandFrancejoined in"friendlyadvice"toJapan, andthelatter,confrontedwiththis powerfultriplealliance,wasforcedto modifyherclaims,and,foranadditional23,700,000dollars,returnedall territory,saveFormosa,toChina.

RussiaobtainedaleaseofPortArthurandothervaluableconcessions, includingrailwayfacilitieswhichplacedManchuriawithinhergrasp-until inturn,Japanwasstrongenough,in 1904,tochallengeherclaims.

BritainForcedaDrugUponthe Chinese.

From1895Europehadbeendividedintotwoopposingcamps.Britain wasonbadtermswithRussiaand France,andcultivatedtheclosestand mostfriendlyrelationswithGermany. Indeed,Mr.JosephChamberlain,at thisperiod,proposedanAnglo-Ger. manallianceastherealbalanceof PowerforBritaininEurope.

OnecauseofthebadrelationsbetweenBritainandtheFranco-Russianalliancewastheexploitationof Chinabythelatterpowers.Britain had,itistrue,playedaveryreprehensiblepartinthefurtheranceofher tradingandpoliticalinfluencein China,andthelatterhadnotforgotten,andstillremembers,theOpium WarandotherBritishmeasuresto forcetheopiumdrugupontheChinese people.

TheencroachmentsinChinabythe otherpowers,notablythoseofFrance andRussia,excitedBritishfears,and jealousy.ShedemandedandoccupiedtheharbourofWeiHaiWei (sinceabandonedasofnomilitaryor economicvalue)andkepttroopsand shipstokeepwatchoverthedoings

oftheGermansatRiau-chauandthe RussiansatPortArthur.

Thenfollowed-withtheapprovalof Britain-Japan'sonslaughtonRussia -theRusso-JapaneseWarof1904-5. Followingthiswar-inwhichJapan oncemorewasdeprivedbyjealous WesternPowersofthefruitsofvictory-RussiaandJapancametoa secretunderstandingregardingChina andKorea,andJapanhadafreehand. inKorea,andRussia`directedherattentiontothevastregionofMongolia.

In1912,whenChinawasinthe throesoftheRevolution,Russiawas abletodetachtheouterMongolians fromthemovementinChinaandto bringthemundertheRussianflag. WhileRussiaandJapanwerehelping themselvesinnorthernChina,BritainandFrancewerebusyinthe South.
