Asked Prison Sentence
SAYS CHINESE OPPOSE
ANGLO-JAP ALLIANCE
BY Associated Press

ATLANTIC CITY, \. J.. June "a.
The Chinese people have good
reasons to object to the renewal Of
the alliance between Great Britain
and Japan, S. K. Alfred SEE, Chin
csc minister to the United States,
declared Friday night in an address
here before the New York state
bankers convention. He empha-
sized that in discussing the alliance
he was speaking not as a repre-
sentative of the Chinese government
but only as a private citizen Of the
Chinese republic"
What is the Anglo-Japanese al
lance" the minister asked. 1T IS
warlike measure designed by Eng
land. and Japan to protect her in
terest in the far east. You observe
that this alliance has a good deal
10 do with China. but China has
nothing TO do with il. Here is an
agreement vitality affecting China
but China has not even been con-
suited in its making You will agree
with me that any nation would re-
sent such treatment. The Chinese
people. therefore. have good reasons
to object TO the renewal OF the al
lance. They regard the situation as
intolerable The sentiment against
a renewal is growing in intensity
and strength all over the country
