Init"d News stan CORRESPONDENTS
LONDON. July Dcnunciation of
the anelo-Japancsc alliance. probably
on the eve OF the Washington dis
armament conference. is regarded as
q great possibility by government Of
hcihis who have kept in touch with
the rapidly approaching necessity for
i decision regarding the renewal OF
the treaty.
II Is stated hy persons high in au-
thority. moreover. that Lloyd Georges
attendance at Washington depends
entirely upon tue solution Of the
Irish problem, and that. if he sue.
cecds in his negotiations with De Val
era he Is certain TO make the trip TO
America.
In view o: the circumstances sur
rounding the attempted renewal OF
The alliance. il is extremely proba ahl G
that the British Premier. just prior
TO taking part in the Washington
gathering, will make Il "bombshcIl"
announcement that the alliance has
oeen denounced for the purpose OF
enabling England to participate in
the Harding meeting absolutely un-
hampered by other obligations.
The greatest accomplishment of the
dominion conference, therefore. il is
authoritativcly stated has been mega
t'Nc-sincc il has effectively blocked

least for the present
Approval OF Premier Hughes OF
while the outspokcn opposition OF
Premier Me!ghcn. of Canada. was ut
tcrly disconccrting 10 the Foreign
Office.
II is generally believed that. %hcn
the problem is eventually taken up,
Japan Will ind herself alone. opposing
Great Britain. the United States and
china, If she seeks To dominate Asia
in the future.
Thus, says the Weekly Outlook:
The Washington conference re-
sarding policies in the Far East will
not be any love feast Were these
policies in accord, these fleets would
not be multiplying so rapidly in the
pacinc. The interests of n liberal.
progressive Japan will he advanced by
settlement just as viii AMERICAS

Of camouiiaging the fact that fcudal
militaristic Japan is in The saddle, and
she won't give way without Il Strug-
gle, unless the Anglo American COM
b!naticn proves to be the stronger
one disadvantage OF the Anglo
Japanese alliance at present is that II
prevents free comment in England
concerning the great problems which
are pregnant with humanity's fate
For the Washington conference TO he
a success, England must act with
America and stand by China in sup
port OF the open door which will
make Japan reconsider her policies"
Downing Street circles are sccrc-
tive, marking time until more OF the
details OF the conference are COM
pletcd. Ii Is intimatcd, however, that
the Premier is prepared for any
cvcntualitics. Japan's apparent pro-
Cfastination is closely watched but
it is predicted that no cmbarrass-
mcntsavill arise to place any definite
check upon the momentous gathering.
