/ the press has risen 70 the defense Of
/ the alliance and the correspondent Of
+ tho London Times for the TAR east in
ian article has made detailed answer
! to the Japanese criticisms. the tenor
Of this article caused as much sem
sation as the original Japanese out
! uist.
The Japanese criticisms Of the alN-
ance were largely written by profess
sors in the imperial university head
ed by by Prof Tongyn Tatebo, who is
a teacher of literature. These writer's
mostly conclude that the alliance with
/ Great Britain is harmful to Japan.
Professor Tatcbe doubts whether the
alliance can be continued for long be-
cduSe there are but few points of
Identity in the national ideals of ia
pan and England. He said: Can
such great honorable national ideals
as those held by Japan De found in
England Intelligent persons Will be-
able to decide NJ once as To that AZ
the national ideal of England is indi-
vidualism and selfishncss, So the Guid-
Ing principle OF England in interna-
tional dealings is also individuallsn
and selflshnoss.
And the professor continues: "Ja-
pam stands for loyalty and Justice;
Germany for loyalty and injustice.
England for soltishness and disloyNltN.
! II is because of this sclishncss and
disloyalty that England, while speak
ing of ultimate victory IL reporting

Japan Must Develop.
Professor Masutaro, another NOM
Ter of the staff of the imperial uni
lversity. contributes an article in which
he declares that the development of
Japans national power and the in
crease of the navy gives a feeling of
great anxiety to England ana her CO.
lcnial possessions in the orient espe-
cially as to the fate of Australia ia
pans star indicates that she must de-
Velop her power on land and sea and
liz Japan should expand greatly, Eng
land doubtless would not like 1t. Tho
writer urges that the responsibility of
| japan arising out Of the alliance Is
greater than that of England and that
at the present time England liz using
the treaty az n club to best Japan. lie
thinks that the alliance has lost its
foundation both for Japan and for
England.
| To solve tho problem Of what effect
tho war win have upon the alliance
one must decide what the result OF
J the war will be. He thinks that while
| Germany is in a superior position nj
this time she Will doubtless be humil-
lated by the entente powers. But Pro-
fessor Nita figures that since the en-
tente powers are losing their strength
they will naturally wish TO conclude
peace in due time, a peace which, he
thinks, will be made on terms rostor-
ing the antc-War status and boundary
lines as much as possible The pro-
fessor is apprehcnsive as to the bur-
den that may be placed upon Japan
in the future on account Of the alll-
Iances and he is fearful MS to the safe
outcome of JapanS policy in China
which is that Of seeking economic de-
Vel0pment To secure a market in In
dia is next in importance to securing
Il market in China, in his opinion. Ne
realizes that some Indians may think
Of securing the independence Of India
but is rather inclined to think that
from the Japanese standpoint II Isl
better that India remain under Brit
