Lord Northcliffe's Recent Statement.
Lord Nathetiffo'a salements in Manila and Hongkong have come thunderbalk in the era of the Washington Conference, says the L. and C. Ezprean, of Nov. 3rd Bia outspoken prabunebatina that the Anglo Jpairsa Alliance baa outrum 110 usefulness haa, beyond all doubt, echoed the prevailing sentiment in the United States, and has been endorsed in a certain degree by s large section of the community in this country. Had not the Dumis- (ion statesmen been in strongly in favour of its renewal at the recesi Imperial Conference, this feeling would have found fuller expression bera. 1 is signifiesol that Lord Northehe gave he vow in dire response to the Japanese. Press, which bus
lately again been koma bal critical" towards the Alliance, though in the first half of this year it was beter weary in praising it. What effect Lord Northelifs's frankmes will have upon the Washington Confersnes remains to be seen, but it will un- doubtedly strengthen the wide feeling in Americs and the growing opinion bee against the renewal of the compact. If it should lead to A triple alliance between America, Grest Batain, and Japan, Lord Northelia will have done the world a great service. But, if not, he will bare rendered the task before the Conference infinitel more difficult by his outspokenness. His suggestion that there abould be some kind of international sil given to Caioa is another matter o which general opinion will be more or less agreed. Lord North- cliffe, however, show little know- ledge of China in holding up the Canton Government as almost model, and stigmating the Petite Government as being in the of Japan. The blandishments of that old diplomatist, Wo Ting fang, would seemingly not hate Deen in VAID, At any rate, though
neers may be thrown at him, both his ralementa be has given lead in practical politics, which is precisely what has been wanted an interminable period of after vacilistico sad delay.
