reduction of the worlds navIes has
taken Great Britain so by surprise
both officials and public-that the
reaction to the suggestions SO openly

obvious caution.
In general. It is agreed, particu-
larry by those men in public life who
have, hitherto expressed themselves
as confident of the success of tho
conference. that the Hughes plan
offers highly suitable basis upon
which discussions can proceed. Can.
didly. they admire the earncstness
and fairness with which the United
States has led the way in demon
strating her own good faith. But
there Is everywhere manifest the
traditional feeling that the ramifica-

always require the taking of ample
precautions for policing the seas.

By }. Frederick Esxnry,

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1s.-There is
now. no longer any doubt that the
Anglo-Japanese alliance, no mention
OF which appears on the agenda. IS
to be one of the earliest issues nm
preached by the Conference on Limi-
tation OF Armament, and that unless
Great Britain and Japan agree TO an
abandonment OF this compact. tho
conference will make slow headway.
Ihat the alliance has been the sub

the arrival OF the British delegates,
Is known, and the American attitude
OF opposition to this measure, already
reflected in many indirect ways. has
been made very plain. And even
before tho British reached Washing

the alliance is regarded by this gov

So far as can be learned. the only
answer that the Americans have re-

should be willing 10 enter a tripartite
compact as substitute. To this
counter suggestion. no positive reply
seems to have been made to date.
the existing Anglo o-Japanese al
lance is the third draft of an alliance
originally entered into in 1902 be-

TO their respective interests in the
Far East.
In the 1902 agreement. the two
governments. reiteratlng their mutual
recognition of the independence of
China and Korea, declared themselves
uninfuenced by aggressive tendencies
In either country. But the agreement
declared Great Britain to have a spc-
cial interest in China. and japan to
have, in addition to interests in
China. an interest in Korea, and
