ANCL0-JAP PACT DENOUNCED BY
 ENGLISH PAPER

LONDON, Aug. 19 (by Associated Press) IA joint declaration of the British and Japanese governments that the Anglo-Japanese treaty, which has just been permitted automatically to renew itself for another year, is "in harmony with the spirit of the covenant of the League of Nations" is challenged editorially by The Man. chester Guardian. It is assailed as "a typical example of those partial and exclusive agreements between rarticu- lar powers which the League of Ma tions was designed to supercede."
 The Guardian says: Some people may be sceptical about the Anglo Japanese mote, but it is most inter- esting and may be an extremely inn portant document. The present Anglo Japanese treaty dates from 1911, and will run, in the normal course, till July 1921. But the foreign offices ot the two nations have remembered the covenant of the League of Nations. They point out that the treaty, though in harmony with the spirit of the covenant of the League of Nations, IS not entirely consistent with the letter. and they add that, if renewed next year, it must be in a form which IS not inconsistent with the covenant
 ''There is only one weakness about this statement, and that is that it's opening proposition is entirely 1nac- curate The Anglo-Japanese treaty in all it's forms has always been entire ly out of harmony with the spirit of the covenant It is. typical example of those partial and exclusive agree ments between particular powers which the League of Nations was de- signed to supersede. It provoked at tack or aggressive action the other finds it's territorial rights or special interests threatened in Eastern Asia or India.
 "The covenant, of course, provides an elaborate machinery by which the league will deal with such contingen- cies and bring it's collective powers to bear on the offender, whether he is or is not himself a member. The Anglo Japanese treaty will need remodellng from top to bottom in order to make it consistent with the covenant. It will presumably be done by each of the powers undertaking formally to go to war in support of the other after the league definitely pronounced against. an aggressor and ordered the enforcement of all the punitive meas ures contemplated in Article 16 of the covenant, which include military force but do not impose it's use as an ab- solute obligation on all the members.
 There would then be the protec- tion of the league between us and war, and the obligations thrown on us by the treaty would be very differ ent from what they are at present."
