 That plus the Japanese were grateful to Jewish bankers for helping them in
 the Russo/Japanese war, to other Jews who provided Intel. After all, a
 great many Jews had no love for Russia, esp after the Pogroms.

 They also hoped for more aid from Jewis financiers. It seems they bought
 into the Jewish financier story rather deeply.

 Plus, they probably didn't much care to make the effort.

 See my response to Lee on this.
