MikadO's Peace Terms VIII Have
the Sympathetic Approval Of
the British Government.
SEVERAL SUGGESTIONS IGNORED.
London Is Opposed to an Armistice
Until After the Meeting of the
PleuipOtentiaries.
Great Britain viii Take No Step Nor
Assume Any Attitude That Would
Rebound To the Advantage Of
Japan's Enemy.

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 ia
voring moderation in her demands
upon Russia have not availed TO
change the British government in Its
apparently inalterable determination
TO stand by Japan however severe she
makes her conditions of peace nor has
the British government seen its way
clear to render assistance to Wash
ington in the efforts which this govern
ment Is making to obtain an armistice.
Advices reaching here show that Lon.
don is opposed to an armistice until
Japan has been satisfied that Russia's
plenipotentiaries are prepared to d.
rect more than discuss means Of end
ing the war: II Russia Is ready to con-
clude peace and has so empowered
her plenipotentiaries. Great Britain, 1t
is believed, might favor an armistice.
but even in such event 1t is said she
would not be willing to offer Japan
advice on the subject.
AS understood in Washington, Lord
Lansdowne's position is that as TIE
loyal ally of Japan, Great Britain can
afford to take no step nor assume any
attitude that would in the remostast
degree rebound to the advantage of
Japan's enemy. However much Lou
don may wish peace for humanitarian
reasons. her loyalty to Japan, whose
pledged ally she is, prevents her even
from indirectly bringing pressure TO
bear by suggestions, advice or other
wise. at Toxic regarding negotiations,
the effect Of which might serve to mod
crate Japan's peace conditions or
hasten a truce. When Japan asks her
ally for advice the London govern
ment, it is said, is prepared immedi-
ately to give 1t, but this advice will
be based on Japan's interest as p-l.
mary consideration.
