The Anglo-Japanese Agreement.

The Renter's telegram which we publish today announcing the fact that an Anglo- Japanese agreement has been signed where by those two Powers agree to maintain peace in the East, the integrity of China and Corea and to co-operate in the event of either ally being engaged in war. with more than one Power, will come as a most welcome piece of news to all those interested in China, That is to say to those who merely wish, for the maintenance of the open door, the in

tions trade restrictions. To Russia and France, who have earmarked the northern and southern portions of China respectively, and, perhaps to our German cousins, who appear to he somewhat desirous of reserving for themselves the rich province of Shang- tung, the Anglo-Japanese agreement will come as a very decided blow and set back. To them it will mean that all their plans for territorial aggrandisement at the expense of China must come to naught unless they are prepared to meet the armed resistance of Great Britain and Japan combined. Such á powerful combination will, we imagine, cause any one Power or Powers to ponder well before venturing to enter upon a strug gle which must plunge the whole of the Far East into war and would prove both a costly and dangerous undertaking.

This agreement will, we presume, enquired the timid old lady, ain't you afraid of courage China to refuse once and for all to bein' killed by the 'lectricity in these trolley sign the Manchurian Convention now being cars?

a good conductor/ the Empire of China and, such being the case, Great Britain and Japan are bound to suppor: China in the event of Russia refus- ing to withdraw. This fact should, and we trust that it will, prove to China conclu- sively that Great Britain and Japan are her real friends, for the agreement has been entered into spontaneously and without the raising of any question of a quid proquo from China, the one who will derive most

benefit from the agreement.

The next thing needful for China is re- form, and we do not think that there can be very much hope of that coming about so long as the Emperor is kept carefully in the background. What the Allies should now do is to insist upon the reins of government being placed once more in the Emperor's hands and the dismissal from power of the. notoriously anti-progressive group of officials upon whom the Empress Dowager, leans, Given an anti-foreign and anti-progressive policy and the Anglo-Japanese agreement will not be worth the paper upon which it is written, for the hands of the Allies would be full the whole time in settling broils and dis- putes into which such a mistaken policy would be sure to lead the country whose peace and integrity they have contracted to maintain.
