Unfortunately, while Mr. Harriman was at sea, on his way to San Francisco, aU his Far Eastern plans were suddenly blocked by an obstacle that he had neither foreseen nor considered. Three days after he sailed from Yokohama, Baron Komura, the Japanese Minister of Foreign Affairs, returned to Tokyo from the United States, bringing the treaty that he and Minister Takahira had just negotiated with the Russian 26 FAR EASTERN PLANS plenipotentiaries at Portsmouth. As soon as the Harriman-Katsura agre...e- ment for joint control of the South Manchuria Railway was shown him, he said: "It cannot possibly be carried out, because it is inconsistent with Article VI of the treaty that we have just made with Russia." The article in question provided that the transfer of the South Manchurian road from Russia to Japan should be made only with the consent of the Chinese Government. Until, therefore, such consent should be obtained, Japan had no legal rights that could be shared with Mr. Harriman. Aside from this, Baron Komura was opposed to the Harriman-Katsura agree- ment on its merits.
