f SHANGHAI. June 1.-THE one cues
ton that is agitating the Far Eastern
political world at the present time is
the renewal Of the Anglo : Japanese
alliance. The question is particularly
engaging the attention of China, be-
cause the renewal Of the alliance or
the failure on the part of Great, Britain
to renew the agreement affects the
future Of China as much as it does that
Of Japan, for the main application of
the Anglo-Japanese alliance at present
is to China, on the part Of Japan, and
to India on the part Of Great Britain.
DR.. Sun Yat-sen, the first President
of the Republic Of China, who spent
thirty years in an effort to make China
republic. and who is one of the coun-
try's leading statesmen. feels that a
renewal Of the Anglo-Japanese alliance
would be a calamity for China and
would require drastic action on the
part Of the people Of China.
If Great Britain renews the Anglo
Japanese alliance July Is !, practiced
revolutionist, will do my utmost to
stir up revolution in India and also to
stir up revolution in Japan. If Great
Britain renews the alliance the posi-
ton of Great Britain in China will be
lost" DR.. Sun said to-day at his home
in Shanghai.
Opposed by British Dominions
"If Great Britain renews the alli-
ance she will 60 against the expressed
public opinion Of Australia, Canada,
New Zealand and South Africa, and
also she will be acting against the
opinion Of British residents in the
Far East. On the other hand, if Great
Britain refuses to renew the alliance
Japan will spread the seeds of revolt
throughout India. Japanese propagan-
da is the most active propaganda in
the world, and the japanese can at
any time carry their propaganda into
India. That Japan would try to stir
up revolt in India is admitted by her
veteran statesman, Marquis Okuma. In
q recent statement Okuma urged the
renewal of the Anglo-Japanese alliance
as the only means to keep peace in
India, which was nothing but q threat
on Okuma's part that if Great Britain

will withdraw her support against the
Bolshevik propaganda in India. Great
Britain is strong enough to take care
of Russian propaganda in India her
self, but Japan will not only withdraw
her support Of Great Britain, she will
actively and maliciously attempt to
spread revolt in India.
"What will Great Britain do? If she
reneWs the alliance she loses the
friendship of China forever; she in
ours the displeasure of her own domin-
ions, and she strains relations with the
United States, whose aims in the Pa
ciic are against the imperialist ambi-
tions of Japan. If she refuses to re-
new the alliance Japan will carry on
propaganda not only in India, but also
in the other British possessions and
British spheres Of influence in the Far
East. Great Britain is troubled with
the serious problems of reconstruction
after the confusion Of war, and the
situation in Ireland becomes more SER
ious daily. Great Britain does not de-
sire more trouble in India and her
colonies in the East. But still greater
complications in the Far East will GER
tainly result if Great Britain joins
hands once more with the japanese.
China and Reds as Allies
"a renewal Of the alliance on the
part of Great Britain will make it nee
essary for China to join hands with
Soviet Russia as against Japan and her
ally. 1t will make 1t necessary for us
