ANGL0.AMERICAN TREATY.
London Believes Britain Would Meet
Uncle Sam Half Way.

LONDON. January THE project of
reviving the negotiations for a general
Anglo American arbitration treaty. upon
the subject Of which President Taft is
soundin1 the Senate committee on for
cign relations, attracts comparatively lit
tie interest here. Few OF the newspapers
express an. opinion on the matter.
Udoubtedly the British government
would meet the United States half way.
The liberal party is particularly favorable
to such an arrangement.
The general feeling. however, is that the
Senate may block the plan and the Eng.
lish statesmen are not anxious for
repetition OF 6ne experience which was
had with the May-Pauncefote treaty.
