1t is a fact that the preamble to the new
treaty might be regarded as almost para
phrase Of the position OF the United states
toward the Mauchurian question as cuunci-
ated In Secretary Hays note 80 the Rus
sian ambassador II is made very clear
here by the Official statements that the
purposes Of the United states all relate
to the commercial and industrial phases OF

Pekin. February 12-Thc news OF the
signing Of the Auglo-JapaneFs treaty ot
alliance became known 20 few diplomats
here today and was an absolute surprise.
The treaty is regarded as the most inn
portant move made in Far Eastern politics
OF recent years. The Japanese minister
Uchida. visited Prince Ching. president Of
the foreign ofdce, aud Eavo him copy or
the treaty. II Is not doubted among the
diplomats here that the new alliance will
effectunlly veto the signing OF the Man
churian treaty.
The Japanese minister, Uchida, and the
United staes minister. Mir. Congcr, have
recently been pressing Prince ching to
postpone signing the Manchuriun treaty
and obtained promise 10 defer 50 doing
until fresh representations could bo made,
which representations were made today IN
the form OF copy Of the Anglo Japanese
! treaty.
The Chinese officials WHO were Informed
Of the signing OF the treaty expressed The
greatest satisfaction. They said British
prestige IN the Far East had been given
| a tremendous Advancement.

Paris. February Il The view taken 10
diplomatic circles here IS that the Anglo
Japanese alliance, being purely defensive,
IS IN no wise disquieting element ~ the
Eastern situation. The agreement, IT. Is
claimed here, excludes Monchuria aud Rus
sia. therefore. Is not menaced thereby. The
alliance Is taken TO indicate that Great
Britain has abandoned her opportupe and
yactilatlnE attitude OF recent years in the
Far East for & hxed policy, and that the
result will certainly make for the peace
Of the world.
The question Of Corea provided for In the
first article Of the treaty can not lead 30
a disturbance OF the peace because Russia
has no aggressive aims in that country.
Jarsu anan I, not IN 40 aggressive mood
one Of the hrst results az the alliance
will probably be q new Japanese loan.
The Temps says: The new alliance
seems 20 indicate that the British gov
eminent intends inaugurahng a new policy
in the Far East II IS an innovation with
out precedent for century. England
thereby changes her policy Of free hands
FOR a policy Of tied hands.
