WASHINGTON. ID. c.. Nov. oS.-If
Great Britain renews the Japanese
alliance for another period. she will
be largely influenced to that end.
according to information current
among diplomats here. by the possi-
bili;y. If not the probability. of dim:
culties with the United States over
Ireland.
For weeks intimations to this cf-
feet have been a matter OF comment
in official circles of Washington. and
it is known that they have reached
the State Department itself, but 1t
is not known how seriously they have
been taken.
The British treaty OF alliance with
Japan was extended Il few months
ago for provisional term OF one
year. In the meanwhile the two gov
crnments will seek TO bring certain
clauses OF the pact in nearer accord,
II Is said. with the covenant OF the
league OF nations. OF which both gov
crnments are members.

On Great Britain's part the inter

the trend OF Irish developments in
the United states. and next to sound
British overseas dominions regarding
continued partnership with the Japa7
nese. Enthusiasm throughout tho
British empire on that score is not
general. Canada. Australia and New
Zealand are openly hostile to H. Ger

selves are not eager to ally them
selves longer with the Japs. but with
trouble with America on the hori-
zon, they feel, IL Is asserted, that it
would be wiser TO hold the Japanese
alliance in allegiance for Il while
longer.
Some Of the British, it is said quite
understand that the necessity for n
renewal of the Japanese alliance may
bear the appearance of threat. in
American eyes. But the British gem
orally insist that it is nothing OF
the sort. 1t is merely a policy Of
elementary precaution. it is said by
those acquainted with intimate Rrlt-
