With the completion of the publication of the material so

far available, there will arise the question of whether the investigations of the experts should be extended to countries not so far touched. Russia, of course, has been omitted altogether, and it is difficult to imagine that even men of such resource and courage as the actual investigators have shown themselves to be could succeed in penetrating that country, and making effective inquiries there. But there remains Asia, where investigation might be valuable. There is, however, a financial aspect to any suggestion regarding further investigation, and, having regard to that, and also the difficulty of prosecuting inquiries in China at the present 'moment, it is doubtful whether further steps will be taken at present.
