LLOYD GEORGES VIEWS ON
 ALLIANCE WITH JAPAN

London, Aug. 1S-(By the A. P.)- If the alliance with Japan could be merged into a greater understanding with Japan and the United States on all the problems of the Pacific that would be a great event, and it would be a guar antee for the peace of the world"
 Thus spoke David Lloyd George be- fore the House of Commons today in out lining the work of the recent conference of the imperial premiers.
 The premier was dealing specifically with the Anglo-Japanese alliance at the time and explaining how the conference had unanimously recognized that Japan loyally had carried out her obligations to Great Britain during the war, in let ter and in spirit.
 MT. Lloyd George asked if it was to be suggested that Great Britain now should turn her back upon Japan with mere thang you and goodbye, after Japanese aid had pl owed one of the turn ing factors in the war, in that it had given protection to the transit of domin- ion and Indian troops across seas. Even countries disliking the Anglo-Japanese al liance would despise the British if after such services Great Britain turned her back. upon Japan
 The premier said he saw no reason why it should be impossible to remember obligations to Japan and at the same time preserve a spirit of fraternity with the United States.
 It was a cardinal principle of British policy, he continued that Great Britain should act in as complete accord with the United States as possible. He did not know of any country in the world with which it was more important to act in concert. He declared that the surest way to make success of the dis armament conference was first to reach an understanding on Pacific questions, and he hoped his view in this respect would be taken at the Washington gath ering.
 During his address MT. Lloyd George revealed the fact that the conference of the premiers did net discuss the Irish question. He said there was no burning desire to touch upon that difficult mat ter.
 The premier defended the action of General Shuts, the South African pre- mier with regard to Ireland. He said General Shuts had acted perfectly straightforward and honorably, and that everything he haS done was done witf the full assent of the King and the min i istry.

 The fight over this provision of the bin. adopted unanimously by the sea- s-e. broke unexpectedly in the senate today and prohibition leaders declared it was more than likely all beer legis- 'ation would go over until fall, with the poss bility that the treasury depart meut meanwhile might issue regulations under which beer could be manufacturer and prescribed for the sick.
 Because of the evident intention" Of senate conferees to destrop the effect of the Stanley amendment. Senator Ash hurst, "oolted" the conference, announc- ing that he would take no part therein or sign any report unless the amend ment was retained precisely as origin ally written. Sena tor Ashurst told the senate the effect of the house substi- fute would legslize home manufacture ot beer and liauor
 At the end af an all day wrangle in conference and in the senate, accord ing to leaders the whole course of the proposed anti-beer legislation hinged up on hope of agreement by. senate and house managers. While Senator Sterl- ing. chairman of the conference, de- clined to indicate how the members stood, the result of the days delibers- tons was said 10 have been the virtual wrecking of the amendment from the shape in which it received a unanimous vote
