WOULD RENEW ALLIANCE
,Iapan's Venerable Statesman in Fay or of Pact Which Expires ill 19o i- Doubt Leagues Worth

Tokio, Dec. 26.-Marquis Shigeno- bu Okuna, Japan's venerable states
 man, is strongly in favor of a renew Aal of the Anglo-Japanese alliance swllicli expires in 1921.
 Revision of the provisions should 9bc made in ccnsonance with the re- Aquireinents Q, the new world condi-
 tions, he says, but tine fundan ental
 principle of the alliance that both < England and Japan should maintain $ peace in tic Far East and India and g-protect their mutual interests, should %rcmain unchanged. ' with America and Great Britain @as it's center, the league of nations \ can be said to have a greater possi- : bility than the holy alliance he con-
 tinues. Consequently, if both coun-
 tries act with mutual consideration
 the league may be influential. Once these countries run counter to each sIother, how ever, the results cannot be predicted. We cannot see at present the absolute stability of the league of nations.
 Russia with it's great population of nearly 200, 100000 can become a. strong power if q great leader ap- pears, even though the territories of ' Finland and Poland have been cut off. < The temporary collapse of Russia is { not enough to make the Anglo-Japan < alliance unnecessary. M The league of nations cannot secure Fthe complete abolisllment of arnla- ! nents and all the nations now are striving for he perfection of their na-
 tional defenses.''

Mr.. Garvan mentioned this point in
emhpasizing the Importance of the
dye industry as a means of national
defense. Without dye industry the
United states would be at disadvan-

Mr.. Moore's contention that the
chemical foundation scheme tends to
create a monopoly in the dye indus
try and that many of those connected
with it are not as disinterested az
