the Anglo-Japanese treaty today or
speculate on. its probable fate beyond
emphasizing their determination to de-
cline participation in it. There does
not appear to be the slightest ground
for British optimism that the alliance
between itself and Japan can be saved
from the international scrap heap.
Whether there will be treaties or
merely agreements relating to Far
Eastern complexities has not been de.
termined. 1t appears reasonably GER
tain that such treaties as may grow
out Of the Conference will apply to
limitation of naval ornaments. II
treaties are considered to be most ef-
fective in providing correctives for
Asiatic and Pacific complications they
will not be negotiated directly between
Great Britain, Japan and the United
States, but will take in all of the
countries having interest in the Far
East.
Their purpose will not be to protect
the interest Of Great Britain and Japan
in the Far East and the Pacific, but to
protect China from any other country
In the world. This is the real object
i've of Conference plans relating to Far
Eastern affairs.
Representatives of the leading pow
ers in conceding this fact are giving
consideration to plan for having
China negotiate treaties directly with
each of the other nations claiming spe-
cial privileges or holding under direct
concessions in real estate on the
Asiaic mainland. Any general treaty
covering the subject would include
Great Britain and Japan, whose inter-
ests in the Orient are larger than
those Of any other power. :
1t is quite probable that the Confer
ence will express through the medium
of treaties their sympathy for the Rus
sian people and pledge themselves to
refrain from taking advantage of the
present conditions in that helpless
country.
Amy undertaking designed to pre-
vent the dismemhement of Russia
will naturally have direct relation to
the military and economic penetration
of Siberia and Japan. It is not i'm
probable that some form of trustee
ship designed to hold Russia together
until it can be retrieved from Soviet
rule will be created. The only opposi-
ton to such a plan is expected from
Japan, which has not given any indica-
lion of changing its policy in Siberia,
where it continues to maintain large
military force to provide a cloak for
the activities of concessionaries, who
ire making profitable use of their op.
portunities.
A delegation, headed by Alexander
Yazikoff, which represents the Far |
East Republic at Chitka has brought |

lraw.
The attitude of the Japanese dele
rates at the Conference has reflected
determination to assert special priv
leges claimed by Japan in Manchuria
md to hold on to the advantages it
las gained in Siberia.
