log 露 tribute to Mr. Balfour's maintaining the highest traditions of British statesmanship, saying he Was Immeasurably indebted to President Harding as the originator of the conference and adding that apart in a great measure from its work the Conference had kindled among the nations of the world a new spirit, which cannot fail to produce lasting and far-reaching benents to civilisation.

Lord Curzon said the resolution passed regarding China as far as international relationship with China was concerned lifted it on a higher plane f international morality and that this great country was given a chance of inding a place in the Ann. The storm clouds qver the Pacific were dispersed and no single m1 present would see warfare in that part of the world during his lifetime. The alliance with Japan was replaced by a friendship even more assured,

Mr. Balfour said of all the delegations the American played the greatest part. He emphasised the mutual confidence prevail g from the start between the British and American delegations and he thought the Conference had been an absolutely anmixed Lenefit to mankind. Its accomplishments had been immense.

A new bond of affection and regard had arisen between the British and American peoples.

THE NAVAL AGREEMENT.

London, Feb. 21,

United States administrative circles are stated to be per- turbed by what is believed-to-be-the-istention of Senater Johnson" to move an amendment to the Naval Treaty reserving to the United States the right to fortify the Philippines and establish naval bases there. He last week raised the question in the Foreign Relations Committee whether by relinquishing the right to fortify Gum and the Philippines while Japan is permitted to fortify her own coasts and Britain is not restricted regarding Singapore the United States would not be placed at a disadvantage and intimated that the opinion of American naval experts would have to be taken before he would consent to ratification. Senator Johnson has now made known that be regards this as a most serious matter, which must be carefully investigated. Should he succeed in amending the Treaty it is feared it will be imperilled as Japan might refuse

ABROGATION OF THE ANGLO-JAPANESE ALLIANCE.

London, Feb. 21.

The opinion of France's leading delegate, M. Sarraut, after reflection permitted by the crossing of the Atlantic, is that the Washington Conference is a success for America and the peace of the world. He particularly remarked upon the benefit that America gained by securing the abrogation of the Angio-Japanese Alliance, which, he said. in the minds of many stituted the gravest obstacle, if not the greatest

Americans, eca- expansion of America in the Pacific and towards China. America Tenace, to the having averted the danger of competition and conflict can, with- out national disquietude, renounce her vast programme of naval construction established by her in 1916 and lightes her badge: charges at a moment when a rare economic crisis makes the burden of armaments particularly odious to the American tax payer.

M. Sarraut further declared that the suppression of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance had, as a logical and automatic result, the reduction of naval armamenty of the three great Powers of the Pacific and it was the pivot of the Conference. France helped to clear up the question of China and generously He claimed that assisted in the efforts to improve China's Enances, restore her political and territorial integrity, establish a liberal regime and the "Open Door." He maintained that the attitude of the French delegation at no moment compromised or menaced the success of the Conference.
