ANGLO-JAPANESE ALLIANCE

There has been a great deal of spec
ulation as to whether England would
back Japan in her efforts to place
decisive check upon Russian aggres-
sion.
The Anglo-Japanese treaty of last
year was designed to maintain the
general peace IN the extreme east and
the independence and territorial integ-
rity of China and Korea. and to secure
equal opportunities in those countries
for the commerce and industries of all
nations. The treaty stipulates that
either party may take all necessary
steps to safeguard it's interests in those
countries; that, if either should go to
war with another power in defense of
it's interests, the other will maintain
powers from joining in hostilties
against its ally. If any other power
or powers should join in hostilties
against that ally, the other contracting
party will come to its assistance and
will conduct war in common and make
peace in mutual agreement with it.
Neither party is to enter into separate
arrangements with another power
without consulting the other, so that
the interests of neither may be pre-
judiced. 1t is also stipulated that,
when the interests of either party, in
its own opinion, are jeopardized, the.
two governments are to communicate
freely with each other.
Here we have the obligations of the
two nations distinctly defined. The
treaty is avowedly aimed at Russ1a's
bold, aggressive policy.
This treaty is eminently satisfactory
to our government. In fact, American
interests are identical with those pro-
vided for in the treaty, as Secretary
Hays notes to China and Russia since
1900 show, Secretary Hay, upon the
occupation of Manchuria by Russia
during the Boxer troubles, demanded
what the cars intentions were, and
notified him that we expected the
| maintenance of the open door of trade
| in Manchuria. Russia disclaimed in
| tention Of permanent occupation, but
she remains, and is arranging to stay
| there permanently.
Under the Anglo-Japanese treaty, it
will be observed, England is not oblig-
ed to help her ally unless Japan is as
sailed by more than one power. For
instance. England would remain neu-
trail if Japan were at war with Rus
STA alone; but, if another power join
ed Russia against Japan, she would
have to mobilize and go to her help
This kind Of alliance is not Of the di-
rect-action kind it would seem Japar
might desire. This is the first time
England has sought an alliance will
a far eastern power, and it embodie!
a note Of prudence. Englands inter.
ests in the Orient, however, are close
ly menaced, and her prestige in tn,
! east has already been injured by tn,

Kelly and the young woman went to
