NOT CONSISTENT WITH COVENANT.
LONDON,-July 14... The League of Nations has published a communication, from the Governments of Britain and Japan dated Spa July 8, and signed by Viscount Chinda and Lord Curzon stating that the Governments of Britain and Japan have come to the conclusion that the Anglo-Japanese Agreement of July 13, 1911; though harmonising with the spirit of the covenant of the League of Nations is not entirely consistent with the letter of that covenant, which both Governments earnestly desire to respect. They accordingly jointly inform the League that they recognise the principle that if the said agreement be continued after July 1921, it must be in a form which is not inconsistent with that covenant,
