GREAT BRITAIN IS
LOYAL TO JAPAN
Whatever Terms Japan Makes With
Russia Britain Will Approve.
NO SUGGESTIONS TO OFFER


Washington, July 31.-Japan comes
to the Washington conference assured
that whatever her peace terms, they
will have the sympathetic approval Of
Great Britain. Several suggestions
from Washington to London that the
cause of peace would be served by an
explanation to Japan from her ally fa-
voring moderation in her demands
upon Russia have not ayailed to change
the British government in its appar-
emily unalterable determination to
stand by Japan, however severe her
conditions of peace. Nor has the Brit
ish government seen her way clear to
render assistance to Washington in the
efforts which this government is maxi
ing to obtain an armistice.
Opposed to an Armfstice.
Adyices reaching here show that
London is opposed to an armistice un-
til Japan has been satisfied that Rus
sias plenipotentiaries are prepared to
do more than discuss means Of ending
the war; if Russia is ready to conclude
peace and has SO empowered her pleni-
potentiaries, Great Britain, it is be-
lieved, might favor an armistice, but
even in such event it is said she would
not be willing to offer Japan advice on
the subject.
The Loyal Ally of Japan.
AS understood in Washington, Lord
Lansdowne's position is that, as the
loyal ally of Japan, Great Britain can
afford to take no step nor assume an
attitude that would in the remotest de-
gree rebound to the advantage of Ja.
pans enemy However much London
may wish peace, for humanitarian rea-
sons, her loyalty to Japan, whose pledged
ally she is, prevents her even from in
directly bringing pressure to bear by
suggestions, advice or otherwise, at
Toxic regarding negotiations, the effect
of which might serve to moderate ia
pans peace conditions or hasten a
truce. When Japan asks her ally for
advice, the London government. it is
sand, is prepared Immediately to give
it, but this advice will be based on Ja-
pans interest as a primary considera-
ton.
Not Mtsinterpreted.
Nor is this attitude on the part Of
the London government misinterpreted
in Washington as indicating that its Of
ficials do not share in the wish of the
neutral powers for peace. 1t has been
made plain that the activity of the
president has the full sympathy of the
British people, although their first
thought, it is declared, must be in the
interest of their ally.
At the same time the London govern
ment, in its exchanges with the Amer
ican embassy in London, has not hesi-
| tated to declare its confidence that Ja-
pans terms will not be unreasonable.
1t was recently expressed by one cog
infant of the British attitude, London

gan, found Toxic assuming an unrea-
