BERLIN PARLEY CLEARS AIR
BRITISH MINISTERS
SATISFIED
ALLIES BETTER ABLE TO SETTLE POLICY
(By Telegraph. Copyright, Telegraphis Messagos Ordinance, 1894. Received, March 27, 0.10 m.)
Berlin, March 26.
The Anglo-German conversations ended to-day without the conclusion of a formal agreement, but Sir John Simon, the British Foreign Minister, Mr. Antony Eden, Lord Privy Seal, and Sir Eric Phipps, The British Ambassador, who represented His Majesty's Government at the discussions here, do not appear in the least down-hearted.
The British Ministers are reported to be convinced that they acted rightly in visiting Berlin, and it is taken that they feel they have accomplished some. thing, though the results are so far not discernible.
The next step in Great Britain's campaign for peace will be Mr. Eden's visits to Moscow and Warsaw. It is now announced that he will also visit Prague After the Prague conversations, Mr. Eden will join in the Anglo-French discussions, meeting Signor Mussolini, in Italy.
The British Ministers hope that the Berlin parley will clear the air sucleótly to allow the Allies to decide upon their course of nction.
Great Britain hus obtained, in any event, a frank exposition of Germany's attitude. It is netually hoped that this may make possible an agreement among the. Powers which will preserve the peace of, the Continent and the world.

LONDON'S COMMENT ON JAPAN AIMS
FAR EASTERN POLICY "HER OWN AFFAIR"
London, March 27.
Japan's withdrawal from the League of Nations, says the Times to-day, is an occasion which is notable as the first on which a great Power has ceased to belong to the League because it failed to conform to League recommendations and standards.
The encouragement of the Japanese public to believe that Japan had supplanted the League in establishing order in the Far East was not likely to commend itself to China.
Some nice points were raised concerning the propriety of a state which no longer was a member of the League continuing to participate in its work, without being bound by its obligations, the Times goes.

The Daily Telegraph says that in Justice to Japan it must be remembered that her interest in the League was greatly diminished by the rejection of her proposal. to bring immigration' laws within the scope of its functions.
As a last resort, when her Far Eastern policy was challenged, Japan argued that if exclusion of Japanese was a matter of demostle policy for other Powers, why should not Japan's actions in pro- viding for her rapidly expanding population be equally regarded as her own private concern? it naks,
