0kUMA IN FAVOR OF

TOXIC, Dec. 26.-Marquis Shige-
nobu Okuma, Japan's venerable states
man, is strongly in favor of renewal
of the Anglo-Japanese pact which ex-
pires in 1921.
Revision Of the provisions should be
made in consonanue with the require
ments Of the new world conditions, he
says, but the fundamental principle OF
the alliance. that both England and
Japan should maintain peace in the
far east and in India, and protect their
mutual interests should remain un-
changed.
Sees Its importance.
with America and Great Britain as
its center the league of nations can be
said to have a greater possibility than
the holy alliance" he continues. "Con-
sequently If both countries act with
mutual consideration the league may
be influential. Once these countries
run counter to each other. however,
the results cannot be predicted. We
cannot see at present the ABSOLUTE
stability of the league Of nations.
Russia with its great population OF
nearly 1000, 900 can become a strong
power If a great leader should appear
even though the territories of Finland
and Poland have been cut of. The
temporary collapse Of Russia Is not
enough to make the Anglo-Japanese al
lance unnecessary.
"The League of Nations cannot Sc
cure the complete abolition of arma.

striving for the perfection of their
national defences."

FRENCH PRESIDENT
TO Be CHOSEN JAN.a7
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, Thursday, Dec. 25.-Presi-
dent Raymond Poincare's successor
will be elected on Jan. II, according
to the inference generally drawn by
the Partisan press from Premier Gle.
that his cabinet would definitely re-
sign on that date. 1t is also deduced
from the premier's declaration that he
will be candidate for the presidency
which means that he will be elected
virtually without opposition.
Speculation regarding "the Tigers
successor as head of the cabinet is
consequently eclipsing discussion as
to the next president of the republic
Alexandra Millarand, governor of AL.
sSce-Lorraine, seems to have q great
lead so far as predictions are con.
cerned. He is supposed to be NJ. Gle
menceau's choice and should be the
logical candidate in the Chamber OF
Deputies, since he was the leader OF
The coalition which gained great
victory in the elections.
Rene Viviani, former premier, is
still mentioned among the reduced
groups of the extreme left, including
the radicals and socialists, but his
weakness lies in the fact he does not
belong to any of the groups that com
posed the republican combination In
the elections.
NJ. Clemenceau's acceptance Of the
presidency is so far taken for granted
that gossip as to the next occupant o1
the Elysee palace has been almost
completely stiffled.
