ANGLO-JIPANESK ALLIANCE
NEED FOR CLOSE UNDERSTANDING.
London, June 1.
The Pall Mall Gazette in a leader says events have brilliantly justified the Anglo-Japanese alliance The co-operation of Britain and Japan is vital to he tranquillity of almost half the world. With a clear Anglo-Japanese understanding it should be possible not only to advance the development of China, but to effect great economy in the military naval force in overseeing the Pacific Ocean. It may even prepare the way for a closer Americo Japanese understanding. It should be possible in renewing the alliance to introduce safeguards which will allay American and Australian nervousness. Japan cannot avoid an overflow popolation but there are areas of expansion more accessible and more congenial than any which need trench upon the vital interests of the British Empire or the United States.

TERMS OF RECOGNITION,
WASHINGTON, June 1.
The Committee of Inquiry into conditions in Mexico has reported recommending the withholding of full American recognition of the new defacto Government until an agreement has been reached on the question of the revision of the 1917 constitution in the forza of a treaty. If the Mexican Government refuses the committee recommends that it be notified that all these responsible for the sufferings of Americans in Mexico will be held to a definite reckoning, If Mexico fails to restore order an armed force should be sent there to open communications between Mexico City and every border town and port.
