ANGLO-JAPANESE ALLIANCE.

London, July 2, The proposal to extend the Anglo-Japanese Alliance for three months, during which time the question of subsequent · renewal will be discussed by the Empire statesmen and their peoples, was referred to Takia. Reuter learns that the view la now held that the Alliance continues in force for a year after 19th July, its tenth anniversary. It is recalled that Britain and Japan last July jointly- intimated to the Secretariat of the League of Nations that the Alliance in the event of renewal would be altered in conformity with the Covenant of the League. This intimation is not now regarded as a denunciation of the Treaty and therefore the proposed exten- sion of the Alliance until October is unnecessary.

The misapprehensions regarding the present position of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance have been cleared up by Router who is in- formed that the Anglo-Japanese note sent to the League of Nations last July was regarded by the Law Officers of the Crown, but not by Lord Curzon, as constituting a denunciation of the Treaty which would accordingly expire on 13th July, hence the proposal. to extend its operation for three months to allow of discussiona "regarding the future. Japan at the time dissented from the vive of the British Law Officers and the Dominions were perfectly cognisant of the position which continued till a day or two ago when the Lord Chancellor reversed the decision. The question of extension for three months is therefore dropped as the Treaty, evan- if denounced from 13th July, automatically continues for another

year.

The Westminster Gazette says the sudden discovery by the Government's legal advisers that the Anglo-Japanese Treaty does not require renewal may not make much difference to the actual fusare policy of the Empire but it clearly greatly alters the im mediate issue before the Imperial Conference and the Government should have been quite clear about the legal position of the Treaty. lang before the Conferepce met.

London, July 3, The Observer welcomes the prolongation of the Anglo-Japanese valuable respite necessary to mature con- Treaty as affording a sideration and simultaneously warns against procrastination and eragion of issues which must be faced. It recommends the adop tion of a new pact, including the United States, failing which the. newspaper opines that the renunciation of the Alliance, which is the most valuable bridge between East and West, is fraught with the gravest dangers for the internal unity of the Empire and the peace of the world.

The Sunday Times also advocates profiting by the opportunity in order to explore the possibility of connecting the Treaty with a projected Anglo-Japanese-American disarmament conference. The Sunday Times sums up the arguments for and against renewal In the former case it mentions the possiblity of subsequent - strained Japanese-American relations, while the principal reason in favour is the natural desire not to break with an old friend, coupled with the feeling that as an ally of Japan, Britain might be able to exer- cise influence over her policy notably in China.

Profound secrecy is maintained regarding the discussions on Apart the Anglo-Japanese Alliance at the Imperial Conference. from the Reuter announcement that the Alliance is regarded as automatically renewed for a year, the only information vouchsafed is that there are no developments to report and that the accoust of the proceedings published in certain newspapers is partial and... therefore misleading. It is pointed out that proposals for sa international agreement as regards the Pacific embody no new idea and are not the suggestion of any particular person. No approaches thereanent have hitherto been made to the United States or Japan. and the suggestion has hitherto not assumed concrete form. No fewer then, seven British Cabinet Ministers attended yesterday's Conference, namely Mr. Lloyd George, Mr. E. S. Montagu, Mr. A. J. Balfour, Lord Curzon, Lord Lee, Sir L. Worthington-Evans and Capt. F. E. Guest but Mr. Churchill was absent while another Canadian ** Minister was present, namely Mr. Ballantyne, Minister of Marine, who only arrived on the 28th ult. The presence of the Ministers of War and Air was due to the fact that, the question of Empire defence was on the agenda but discussions on the Anglo-Japanese Alliance occupied mast of the day.
