Believes America Must BE Neutral
BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 29.-The
Novostl today devotes a leading article
to the discussion In the British press
as to the advisability of the United
states joining the Anglo-Japanese al
lance, especially referring to the state
nnent made by a leading London daily
that the United States has virtually
been a party to the alliance since the
beginning.
The Novosti maintains that while
sentiment in the United States seems
to have favored Japan during the war,
the attitude of the American govern
ment has been strictly correct, and the
people of America are beginning to
realize that Japan is Americas most
dangerous competitor, pointing out that
even II Japan no longer covets the
Philippines, her commercial competi-
tion would make such an alliance i'm
possible.
