Reference is made by the Times to a letter which it printed on the 6th March from a cor respuudet at Tokyo, which it oursiders worthy of very special attention. The Times correspon- dent puts it that England should either frankly arow a change of palioy, arrange a scheme for joint action with Japan, or withdraw from the fresties altogether. The Times itself adds:—” It seems clear that if we could, by withdrawing from the treatise, and the way to the realisation of Japan's most cherised hopes, we should roap a double benefit. We should, in the first place, have been the prime moters in a change which would bring great advantages to the Japanese moreover, gain both in a commercial and themselves; and that is something.
