True II is that a clause in the
treaty prevents Great Britain alone
from ending IL without a years no

speaking out clearly and they are be-

whole. What they are saying Is
that the most important consioers-
ton in the Pacific Is not Japan but

MUTUAL CONSENT NEEDED.
SHUTS had that In mind when he
said that the history OF the world
for decades would be written in the
Pacific. The problem above ali Ctner
problems facing the London confer

action in the Pacific that may satisfy
the United States without offending
Japan.

OF notes, or other joint expression OF
program, can be brought ABOUT

Great Britain by mutual consent.
There is every reason she should be
willing. She knows as we'll as any
