sENGLANB's DILEMMA ~
Effect Of War Between the United

London, May 26.-The powerful
English organs just appear to be
awakening to the possibilities OF the
alliance between Great Britain and
Japan and to the sentiment to
which the British colonies would hold
IN event of war befwene japan and
the UniteG States.
"The prospect of war in which
Great Britain would be fighting for
a principle that is an anathemai to
her own dominions," says the Lon
don Spec;aI or, ais causing much anN-
ETY. throughout the British Empire"
Although it believes the possibil-
ity of war breaking out Of Graz Brl-
tain being a party to it through hel
alliance with Japan to be vague, the
Spectator declares.
awe doubt whether the empire
could survive such an outrage to the
feelings Of a large and important
part of its white population"
The Saturday Review urges Great
Britain to stand by the alliance with
japan because America is working
for supremacy in the Pacific on lines
that are unfriendly both to Grea'
Britain and Japan"
