THE JAPANESE POLICY
Is SET FORTH

Nagoya, Japan. June 25,-A Japa-
nese policy of strong adherence to the
Anglo Japanese alliance, supported
by the agreement with the united
States, was enunciated the other day
by Viscount Takaaki Kato, leader Of
the Constitutional party, which Is op-
posed to the present government. Ad-
dressing a general meeting of the
Constitutionalists, he declared it was
time that Japan had stable cabinet
in order to put such policy into eff
feet. Kato was formerly minister Of
foreign affairs.
The speech is of interest because OF
.the existing reports that the Terau-
chi cabinet will resign before the
summer has passed. though the fact
is to be born in mind that it repre-
sents the dictum of party which
seeks to return to power.
Viscount Kato praised the Entent'

met the military emergency createf

war. He continued:
