ANGLO-JAPANESE TREATY OPPOSED
 10 LEAGUE PLAN

aSSloi 0tIoll VI tilO Diib'oh and Japanese governments
 t h a t tn e Anglo Japanese treaty, which was recently permitted automatically to renew itself for another year, is in harmony with the spir- it of the covenant of the League of Nations is chal- lenged editorially by The Manchester Guardian. It is assailed as "a typical exam pie of those partial and ex- elusive agreements between particular powers which the League of Nations was de- signed to supercede".
 The Guardian says: Some people may be skeptical re- garding the latest Anglo Jap anese note, but it is a most interesting and may be an extremely important docu- ment The present Anglo Japanese treaty dates from
 1911, and will run, in the normal course, till July, 1921. But the foreign offices of the two nations have remember ed the covenant of the League of Nations. They point out that the treaty, al- 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 he in a form which is not in- consistent with the cove nant'. -s.
 There is only one weak ness about this statement, and that is that it's opening proposition is entirely inac- curate. The Anglo-Japanese treaty in all it's forms has al- ways been entirely out of harmony with the spirit of the covenant. It is a typical example of those partial and exclusive agreements b e. t W e e Il particular wer.s the League of Natiors was designed to supercede. It pledges each of the con- tracting parties to make war if 'by reason of unprovoked or aggressive action" the other finds its "territor- ial rights or special interests threatened in Western Asia or India.
 The covenant, of course, provides an elaborate ma chinery by which the league will deal with such contin- gencies and bring its collec- tive powers to bear on the offender, whether he is or is not himself among the mem- bers. The Anglo-Japanese treaty will need remodelling from top to bottom in order to make it consistent with the covenant. It will presum- ably be done by each power undertaking formally to go to war in support of the oth- CT after the league has deh- nitely pronounced against an and ordered the enforcement of all the puni- tive measures contemplated in Article l6 of the covenant, which include military force but do not impose it's use as an absolute obligation on all the members.
 There would then be pro- lection of the league between us and war, and the obliga- lions thrown on lis by the treaty would be very differ

COl. DICK SAYS
 NORTH STARTING
 ID RECOVER NOW

HlillSio Oi iO" SioSN oiS. A substantial compensa- ton for tiiicrs of Alaskan soil.
 The establishment of a net work Of roads throughout the territory.
 In these proposals Colonel Wilds P. Richardson sees the solution of Alaska's econom- ic problems and the develop ment of the territory by normal growth. The officer, veteran of Siberian service and former resident of the North for a score of years, so expressed himself to a rep resentative of the Cordova Times on the occasion of his recent visit to the Alaska coast to meet Major General Liggett Hunter.
 | Alaska is now recovering from a setback brought on by the war" the colonel ex- plained, and with the con- pletion of the proposed roads and a normal healthy settle ment of the country, it will soon take its place among the front rank of American possessions. Alaska must be peopled by homehnders who come here after sober thot with intent to do their part in the development of re- sources and for the purpose of building homes. The col onel expressed himself as op- posed to any proposal for the wholesale importation ot set tiers to the territory.
 Compensation for farmers in Alaska is an idea which the colonel hopes to see ma terialize. The development of Alaska's soil will demand hard work and determina- tion,' declared the oldtimer, and those who enter that field should be rewarded by something more substantial than a mere loan, such as is provided for in some north- western states.
 "A proHt-sharing bonus for miners of low grade ore is another proposition which l hope to see favorable ac- tion on. Dividends derived will give great stimulus to low-grade gold production in Alaska.
 Colonel Richardson en- phasized the need of roads. He intimated that the con- Struction of additional high ways through the North would be one of the results of the inspection tour of the Liggett party.
 The colonel entered a plea for the toleration of capital which brings about develop ment. Some legitimate pro- fit is bound to result in all work in a new country" he said, and capital is essen- tial."
 Colonel Richardson is op- timistic as to the future of Alaska. Stability in enter prise, he said, will insure suc- cess. And at this point the colonel recalled a conversa- tion he had once had with !; Theodore Roosevelt, who, he said, declared that what the i territory needed was stability 1 and continuous enterprise. in addition to rushes and 1 sectional booms.
