Mutual Consent.

The Treaty of 1890 has once been declared null and void by the National Government, but the Japanese Government have taken the line that the Treaty cannot be terminated except by mutual con- sent and by due notice under the terms of the Treaty.

The Foreign Office this morning has issued the texts of two Notes exchanged between Dr. C. T. Wang and Mr. Yoshizawa, concerning the question of revision.

The Note from Japan is dated April 27th, and it opens by ex- plaining in considerable detail, the Japanese stand that the old Treaty must remain valid until a new Trunty has been concluded.

Bond of Friendship.

blem of the kind with which we had to deal, and when the question of reservations necessary as regards the Optional Clause was not dis- cuased or agreed with the Domin- lona.

The Lord Chancellor added that the proposals of the Anglo-Ameri-· can Arbitration Treaty were now being discussed with the Dominions, and it woull be one of the first duties of the Government after the General Election to arrive at a satisfactory conclusion,

a course which the Dominions agreed to be desirable before embarking upon the signature of the Optional Clausp.-Renter.
