The difficult financial and econo mic position which the people of the Far Eastern Republic are now facing demands first of all, peace both! among themselves and with their neighbours, and incessant work Ly all classes of the population. Acting in accord with the will of the people, the Government of the Far Eastern Republic has first of all tried to bring an end to civil war. The Constituent Assembly of Chita, elected on the principle of universal, equal, direct, and secret ballot, has by its energetic work established the fundamental laws of the young Republic in which the principles of broadest economy are expressed. By these laws the Government of the Far Eastern Republic would have been peacefully guided in the matter of domestic reconstruction if it had not been for the constant interference of the Japanese Command, which enabled the fleeing bands to take refuge in Chinese territory. The Japanese Command has also taken under its protection the bands of Saveleft at Grodekovo and has taken no steps to prevent the flogging of peaceful citizens by these bands or the commission of other forms of violence against the population. At the same time the Japanese Command has hindered the work of the People's Assembly in the Maritime Province in the matter of liquidate ing the above bands. It is unnecessary to explain and prove how unfriendly and how harmful is such behaviour on the part of the Japanese Command to the people of the Russian Far East. It is now well known to everybody, as T have been informed by one of the members of the American Missfon now in Chita, that disorder in the Far Eastern Republic is evident only where there are Japanese troops, and where there are no Japanese troops one feels as safe as in America.
