JAPAN's ALLY HoTLY ARRAIGNED

To Throw Oneself Into Great Brit
Says Nj. Tukamoto Sel-The British
Navy Is Regarded as No Longer the
Strongest.
Japan is heartily tired Of her alliance
with England, says a Tokyo CORE
sponlent Of the New York American
and Journal. More and more the i'm
preston grows that England has sim
ply sought compact with the new
power in the orient to bolster up her
waning power in the east A very out
spoken anti-English party has been
formed by such prominent men as
Lieutenant General Viscount Tani, for
mer minister Of commerce and mem
Der of the Japanese parliament; Tuka-
motto Sci, the we'll known statesman,
and Ozaki Jakio, mayor Of Tokyo. In
an article in the conservative paper,
Nippon, M. Tukamoto Sci says:
II am strongly opposed to the Anglo
Japanese alliance. The war with Rus
STA was the result of our first alliance
with Great Britain, Russia having
originally no intention Of getting into
war with us. The alliance forced
Russia into the war. Not without rea-
son European and Russian statesmen
say that England goaded both of the
countries in the conflict. Nevertheless
the alliance has been renewed, and as
a result the horizon in the orient is
again clouded.
England needs the army Of Japan,
and only for that reason Is she posing
as Japan's friend. We have not been
clear sighted enough to see this and
have been enticed into an alliance.
England's navy was the best in the
world at the time of Nelson, but long
peace has weakened it. It is perhaps
even weaker than was Russia's.
"England's army is the poorest in
the world, and her military system is
absolutely impossible. Her soldiers
fight only because they are paid to do
so. The officers are sons Of rich par
ents, who consider the military service
only pastime and who possess no
military tr?!ning. To throw ones self
into the arms of England is to commit
suicide.
Besides, England has no sense of
honor, no political principles. She for
gave and forgot the atrocities commit
ted by the Russian Baltic squadron in
the North sea when she was paid a
paltry amount and allowed the fleet to
pass through the channel. Had she
been a true friend Of Japan she would
have forbidden it to continue it's voy-
age.
I'm case Of another war between ia
pan and Russia, England would very
soon find a pretext to let us fight alone,
but in case of an attack on India she
would force us to come to her assist
ance.
RUSSIA cannot think of attacking us
on the sea during the next twenty
years, and her armies are too far
away, but Russia knows that she must
do something to regain her lost mill
tary prestige. Should she send her
army against India that country would
be lost to England. .
Gwen during the terrible war Rus
STA was able to complete the railroad
to Persia and to extend the two roads
to Afghanistan. For fear that Russia
might attack India Immediately after
the peace, England announced the ex-
tension Of the alliance with japan the
very day when the news of the de-
struction of the Baltic squadron reach
ed London.
England has reason to be satisfied,
not Japan"
