Hence, anything in the nature of territorial concessions in China, whether mado voluntarily or by force majeure, would be in direct conflict with the terms of Japan's Treaty of Alliance with Great Britain as well as with pledges of a similar character to the one quote which Japan has given to other Powers interested in China.

Until Japan's demands are officially made public, comment on the other questions atentioned in the current reports may well be postponed in view of the Japanese Minister's declaration that the rumours ublished in the Press are exaggerated. The fact that Japan has made a series of demands on China is not denied. Japanese public opinion looks to China
