CHINA SMENACE IN ALLIANCE

al Importance will be enhanced by the
prospect Of an advantageous alliance.
ct Is perhaps too early to discuss
the effects Of such an alliance as Is
foreshadowed III NJ Sazonoff's state
ments. hut speeulations are likely to be
made In China. which must OF course
be vitality concerned IN such an agree
hient. One Immediate result would
be the tendency on the part Of Japan
to greater arrogance. bit there Is lit
tie doubt that the conclusion Of the
treaty itself would bring about an
Increased sense Of responsibility and
an appreciation or its limitations
Possibly such an alliance would
decide the fate of Manchuria, for we
cannot shut our eyes to the fact that
Japan wants territorial rights in adj
dition to political and economic priyi4
leges But IL the Japanese influence
be increased in that region It may
possibly sIaeken In other parts of our
country, because 1t must be borne In
mind that whatever the outcome Of
the present war the British navy is
likely to come out supreme. and that
being so It Is only to be expected that
Great Britain will not rely to the
same extent on Japan for preserving
the peace OF the Far East or for pre-
serving whatever naval balance may
then exist.
