correspondence of Associated Press)
Nagoya, Japan, May 2S.-A japa-
nese policy of strong adherence TO
the Anglo-Japanese alliance, support
ed by the agreement with the United
States, was enunciated the other day
by Viscount Takaaki Kato, leader OF
the Constitutionalists party, which Is
opposed to the present government.
Addressing a general meeting of the
Constitutionalists, ne declared it was
time that Japan had stable cabinet
in order to put such a policy into ef-
feet. Kato was formerly minister of
foreign affairs.
The speech is Of interest because
of the existing reports that the Terra
uchi cabinet will! resign before the
summer has passed., thought the fact
is to be borne in mind that it repre-
sents the dictum of party which
seeks to return to power.
Viscount Kato praised the Entente
Allies for the way in which they had
met the military emergency created
by Germany's long preparation for
war. He continued:
at is probable that Germany will
fail in realizing her ambitions in the
present war, but if she should by
any chance gain the final victory,
what would be the position of the AL
lies? Should things come to such
a pass, France would of course be
paced in the most difficult position,
and Britain also would have to with
draw her troops from the continent
and devote her whole energies to the
defense of her own country.
'In such case, the warfare will
pass from land to sea, and when due
consideration is given to the very
vpowerful British navy, supported by
the huge navy of America, it is
foregone conclusion that the Allies
,savies would emerge victorious"
