TOXIC: Feb. 15.-tC Corresponding
of The Associated Press) Baron
1shiI, minister for foreign affairs told
the House OF Peers on February 13
that Japan is negotiating with Great
Britain concerning the anti.Japanese
agitation In British colonies. The for
feign office. however, denies the report
persistently circulated in Toxic that
fresh negotiations are going on be-
tween Japan and England for the re-
vision Of the Anglo,J Japanese alliance:
The idea put forth, as the basis OF the
report, is that Japan seeks from Great
Britain some definite recognition OF
iJapan's superior position in China.
The alliance with England, as q
result Of, which japan declared war
against Germany, continues a favortte
topic. OF discussion. IA good many dis.
paraginE remarks have been made
about It by Japanese who feel that
Great Britain is asking and receiving
too much under its terms and that

Baron Ishii referred to these crlti'
cisms in his remarks before the
Peers He deprecated them, he said,
as being ceedingly regrettable be
cause they do harm to the friendly
sentiments between the two nations,
He regretted also that British resi-
dents in China occasionally gave voice
to unfriendly utterances about Japan

The newspaper further alleges that

ces the journal deems it natural that
there should be a feeling Of dissatisi

now exists. The paper further points
out that Great Britain, on account Of

is now the only nation able to pro.
