FORT ROSS. Calif., (/P) — A
redwood chap 1, highly suggest
ive of Moscow in its architec’.ure,
still stands here as a reminder
that Russia once had a territor
ial stake in the California coast.
Together with several oth r
buildings and a big stockade, it
is a holdover from the Russian
fort and trading station here
early in the last century. Histor
ians say the arrival of the Rus
sians was a factor in hastening
Spanish occupation of California.
The Russians 6 parted partly
because of failure of their fishing
and farming to show a profit, and
partly, it is related, because of
diplomatic pressure from Eng
land. Only a decade after they
left, California was cov led by
all the world' because of rich
gold discoveries.
The old Russian fort is now
preserved as a state monument.

TOKYO, March — The Japan

at the United States is based up
