JAPAN AND ENGLAND.
OBJECTS OF ALLIANCE.
Misleading differences from Sir VII
f1d Lauricr,s Speech.
Especial by French Gable TO The Tribune


London. Jan 30.-Several sentences in Sir
Wilfrid Laurier's speech Spn Canadian relations
with Japan are mischievous because reprinted
prominently here without reference to their
context. English readers astonshed by the
recklessness of the Dominion Premier in his fore
cast of a contingency when the fleets of Great
Britain and Japan will be united against
common enemy and in bringing pressure to bear
upon British Columbia on the immigration ques-
tion by the reminder that the japanese feet
may leave the anchorage at Vancouver for the
protection of interests vital TO the British En-
pre The Inference drawn hastily by careless
readers may be that England is under an obl1-
CATION to join fleets with Japan whenever any
attack is made upon her ally and that the neu-
tral law will cease to operate at Vancouver and
other colonial ports.
An astute diplomatist whom have consulted
laughs at the idea that England is committed
by the revised convention of 1905 to respon-
sibility for an offensive and defensive alliance
over the immigration controversy or anything
outside territorial rights and the status quo
in Eastern Asia and India. The preamble OF
the convention definitively rectes the objects OF
the alliance and the second article restricts
armed co-operation to those territorial rights and
special interests whenever there is an uHpro-
yoked attack on either japan or England. The
mort of Vancouver cannot be used as A base OF
operations against a common enemy ol iho
allies unless some cause of offence has arisen in
the regions of Eastern Asia or India. The pres
ent convention with Japan would be speedily
denounced if it committed England to war
against America any other power at mo-
nent's notice or suspended the ordinary opera
ton of neutrality practice.
The diplomatic explanation of the revised al
lance offered three years ago was that the first
agreement of 1902 did not prevent the Russian
Japanese War, although 1t tended TO keep Do'h
France and England out of hostilities, and that
the convention had been modified in order to
tor.s+au another war Altogether Sir Wi1frid
Iauriers talk about Anglo-Japanese fleet
sailing out of Vancouver for attack on the
common enemy does not accord with the ac-
cepted views Of the convention as safeguard
of the peace of the world l. n +.

Talk BY HUGHES SUNDAY
May Begin Appeal for Rdcetrdck
Legislation Here.
TBy Telegraph TO The Tribune ]

Albany Ian Ex-Governor Hughes announced
tonight that he would make an address 10 the
Citizens Anti-Racetrack Gambling Committee
of New York at the Majestic Theatre on next
Sunday afternoon. This committee consists or
representatives of the City Club. the Merchants
Association. the Brooklyn League. the west
Side Civic League. the Independent Club of the
West Side. the Society for the Prevention OF
Crime the womens Municipal League. the As
sociation of Neishborhood Workers and many
other civic organizations.
A monster meeting is expected. and Governor
Hughes. who feels deeply on this subject. prob
ably will begin there campaign of popular ap-
peal for the passage of the anti-racetrack gam
bling laws similar to that through which he OBJ
tanned the strong public sentiment which did SO
much for the passage of the public service bill
last year
There seems to be a shift in the sentiment as
to the racing legislation When the bills first
were introduced predictions were made freely
that they never would be reported from the
committees. and that If by chance they were re-
ported they never would be passed by either
house. Yet to-day Senator Raines said he be-
leved the bills would be adopted in the Senate.
Il can't say what my attitude toward these
measures is, because haven't examined thenl,'
he said. But l believe some legislation pro-
hibiting gambling at racetracks will be passed
cultural societies in many places coming out
for them
The racing people still placing great re-
lance on the probable defeat of the bills in the
Assembly. From present indications the real
battle over the bills will come in the Assembly
Codes Committee. and later in the Assembly
itself Their passage depends largely on the
amount of public sentiment shown in favor
of their enactment.
The Governor leaves here tomorrow afternoon
to make his address before the Republican Club
Of New York. which is awaited with much in
terest- On Saturday he is scheduled to attend in
New York the Amen Corner dinner.
