BRITISH ADMIRAL ON THE

POSITION.

In "The influence of the Sea on the Political History of Japan" (Murray, 188 net) a valuable account of the present strategic position of Japan is given by Vice-Admiral G. A. Ballard, whose authority is great as a former director of the Operations Division of our Admiralty War Staff.

He points out the immense change in Pacific conditions brought about by the war:

He urges that "if Europe, America, and Australia are all reserved for the interests of populations of European origin, then the interests of Jepan must in common equity be allowed to prevail in Eastern Asia, which is their own quarter of the earth's surface."

In the unfortunate event of conflict: The Japanese people now stand Japanese naval policy relies on tho third in point of numbers, instead of very largest form of battleship, but it is fifth, among the nations at liberty to at least an open question whether the maintain armed forces on any scale greater part of the money thus speat they please.

Copies of the British Legion con- stitution are being sent around to members to give them an opportunity of perusing the document before it is offered for ratification at a general meeting to be held shortly in the City
