London Emba assay Receives Dispatches from
Washington on tho Alaskan Dispute.
Sotctal Cable Dsspateh 10 THE sun.
LONDON. July 26-An official Of the Colonial
Office said this morning that the Alaskan
boundary question hinged entirely upon the
Interpretation OF the Anglo Russian treaty Of
1925 defining the boundary. He hoped that
the assertion that there would be an early set
Element OF the dispute was correct. As Eng
lands latest propositions await the decision
OF the United States, the Colonial Office Is still
hopeful. but he would not predict an early set
Element He had not heard 81 the reported offer
Of America to give 10 Canada a port on the
Lynn Canal under American sovereignty and
could not say whether or not Canada would ac-
cent It.
The United States Embassy this morning
received dispatches which are believed TO in
dictate that the matter is nearing a settlement.
These dispatches contain replies to the last
British proposals and are likely to bring Ann
hassador Shoate. who Is visiting the Earl Of
Dartmouth at Woverhampton. back to London.

OUR VIEW OF PEACE PLANS.
AMBASSADOR WHITE THINKS WE
WILL ACCEPT THEM READILY

Tho Arbitration Tribunal Plan, He Says,
VIII Re Effective from tho First, and Its
Value VIII Incronse-Nnt ions' Appeals

Special Cable Despdtch TO THE sun
LONDON. July 27.-The Times this morning
prints an interview had by its correspondent
at The Hague with Ambassador White,
the head ~ the American delegation. MIR.
White predicts that tho arbitration treaty will
be serviceahle from the outset and that IL
will be the germ from which more complete
system will he evolved 10y future conferences
He says that public oninien In any nation
that Is drifting toward war will generally
see In the arbitration tribunal means Of
escape and will insist that the questions at
issue be referred to it. As time passes such
reference will seem more natural
and more normal. Thus It might be hoped
that every advantage which is claimed for
obligatory arbitration would he obtained with
out the overwhelming disadvantages attached
thereto.
Mr.. White explained the grounds on which
the American delegates insisted that the
United States should not be forced to inter-
fere in European affairs. or vico versa He
said that II any modification was ever
made In the policy that tho United
States had 40 long observed it must be after
the fullest opportunity to study the subject in
oil its bearings had been given to the Amer-
can people. in whose hearts there was deep.
even religious. feeling against the nation
entangling itself in the internal affairs OF for
eiEn nations. Nevertheless. this attitude
did not imply tho slightest withdrawal
from full cooperation in the Judi
cial settlement Of international difficulties.
No power would moro gladly welcome
tho machinery OF the arbitration convention
than the United States and none would more
faithfully adhere to It.
The past history OF the United States alum
dainty showed this. and the future would be
interpreted by the past.
Mr.. White added: Il am convinced that the
arbitration plan will be OF vast value to my
own country and to mankind. Future COM
forncts will ripen the good fruit It
will bring forth The American peo-
pie will. believe. recognize these
facts heartily. and. Tuesdays declaration hav-
ing been made. will accept our work readily.

Destroying Cable Terminals.


Destroying Cable Terminals.
Sy.eidl Gable Ds,pdtch to THE Sur.
THE HAGUE. July 26.-At the session OF the
Peace Conference Yesterday Sir Julian Paunce-
fote OF the British delegation opposed clause
In the convention concerning the laws and
customs OF war on land specifying that the
destruction Of cable terminals WAS permissible
in war on tho understanding that indemnity
therefor should be settled on the restoration Of
peace,
u rIe SAID That area. Britain attached great
i'm Importance to the stipulation regarding the
right to demand indemnity. The destruction
OF a terminal might render useless thousands
OF miles OF cable. Who. he asked. could esti-
mate the gigantic sum that might be
claimed for indirect damages. Great Britain
could not possibly accept a clause so
gravey restricting her liberty OF action in time
OF war He added that IL the clause was main.
tanned he would not sign the convention.
The conference accordingly decided to elm
mate the clause.
