EARLIER TELEGRAMS.
WASHINGTON CONFERENCE.
Washington, Dec. 12.
The specia! American jubilation at the conclusion, of the Quadruple Paet naturally arises to a large extent from the popular feeling against the Anglo-Japanese Alliance. For this reason, its natification by the Senate is likely to be facilitated, despite the general realisation of the striking similarity between Articles 2 and 3 of the new pact and Article 10 of the League of Nations" Covenant and Article 6 of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance respectively A disposition is also evinced in some circles to regard as a weak- ness the fact that the part does not guarantee the integrity of Chins. The best augury is that Senator Lodge the Sebate leader who was largely responsible for the defeat of the Treaty of Ver- sailles, has staked his future on the ratification of the pact by his action on Saturday. The naval ratio question remains unsettled.
Japan and the Naval Question.
Tokio, Dec. 12. Instructions in regard to the naval question which have just arrived disclose nothing beyond an indication that further meet- logs of the Big Three are necessary before Japan accepts the pro- posals, but now that the political issue has been cleared up it is hoped that Japan will find it easier to agree to the viewpoints of the other delegations. The next question will be the Franco- Italian navies with special reference to äubmarines, which promises to produce rather sharp arguments. The Chinese discussions are proceeding normally and the general impression is that all the major business will be completed by the end of the year.
American Press Comment,”

New York, Dec. 12. In an editorial on the Quadruple Agreement the Tribune says that to have terminated the Anglo-Japanese Alliance without offence either to Japan of Britain is a diplomatic achievement of great importance. Concerts of this sort need not be limited to the Pacific but can be extended to other parts of the world. The New York World' says that any firm step forward naturally leads to others. We see next happily foreshadowed by Mr. Hughes the
