NOT IF BRITISH AND JAPANESE COMBINE

and an alliance contracted by Great Britain and Japanese
Tinted states Rom deva1onnc IFS natural en+b The aI
would combine Great Britain and Japan and the only a
parent object of such alliance against the United States
Russia was the object of the alliance in the beginning
was to protect the japanese and the British Asia from the
Russian danger That danger may but is not
the probabilities Japan concerning herself about Russia
now She is concerning herself about the United States
We are for limitation of armament but we are against a
renewal of the Bshapanee alliance and the adoption of
recognized involving principally Asiatic questions and
dangerous settlement of such questions which stops American
preparations and leaves Japan and Great Britain combined If
that happened should be by desires
vance the peace Of the world.
The interests of Canada Australia and New Zealand this
respects are in harmony with Amercannterests Great Britain
cannot tie up With Japan without joining herself to potential
enemy of the British domnon At they do not like the
prospects any bcr than we do and they possibly prevent
combine British navaism with japanese miitarism.
Alliances generally seek of two three objects They
seek to preserve balance against another alliance They
to balance the greater of aggressive nation They
seek to act aggressvey and to obtain pos for division
The alliance not needed for defense There
Is no alliance against either nation and there is nation seek
Ing TO attack either take the territory of either There
Is no balance to be maintained 1t is almost forced concu
sion that the of renewal aggression the part
one or both
The tory element the British arstocracy might be glad
the United States forced into with Japan Then
British revival might be based sales to both sides Wei
DO not believe Japan would consider without such moral
sanction as would be afforded by the alliance That at least
would set Great Britain in position Of neutrality and the do
mnon however much they dsiked the situation would be
able to do much against the people whom they regard their
natural enemies
The United States justified regarding renewal of this
alliance unfriendy should that the denouncng of the
alliance necessity to the making agreements for the
tation of armament.
The alliance step toward war Limitation step to-
ward The United States ought step one direc
ton while Japan steps in the other and Great Britain should
not expect it. We cannot prevent the renewal alliance
Possibly the domnons do but the United cannot
u can decline to enter into general
britain and Japan refrain from entering into specific
The general agreement to limit sufficient for
all the purposes of An additional agreement between
the British and the Japanese along the line of the alliance
would be inconsistent and would be dangerous to the United
States.-Chicago Tribune.
