Especial Cable to The Washington Herald
and United Sevr)
LONDON, June 3o.-The British
cabinet, in a full meeting to which
the lord chancellor was summoned
hurriedly from his seat in the
House OF Lords. has decided vir-
tually upon renewing the Anglo
Japanese treaty. 1t is now dis
cussing certain notifications re-
iating to the American attitude and
England's position in India. ae-
cording to the Pail Mall Gazette.
The imperial conference. in its
session this afternoon. continued its
confidential discussion of the treaty
and is expected to reach the stage
of public discussion tomorrow.
Japs Favor America.
The Japanese government, well
coming the cooperation of Amer
lea in a solution of the disarma-
ment problems, has no desire to
enter into any alliance with Great
Britain the terms of which would
impair friendly Japanese and Amer
lean relations.
In a statement by Baron Hayashi,
Ambassador to Great British, he
gave the following significant dec
larations of principles to the United
News:
The Japanese Ambassador, in
response to a request for his views
on the question of the renewal OF
the Anglo-Japanese alliance, pointed
out that Japan would welcome any
solution by which the continued
friendship of the United States
might Re assured to Japan.
Spirit of Leasue.
"As a member of the league of
nations, Japan was firmly convinced
that no alliances should be formed
In a spirit differing from that ex-
pressed in the covenant of the
league, and which might tend to
obscure rather than to mals
serene the sky Of international un-
derstanding. Japan would welcom ,
American cooperation in the solu-
tion of the disarmament problem
or any other problems arising.
which could certainly be settled IL
approached in the right spirit.
"A certain amount Of distrust
with regard to japanese immigra-
tion had been exhibited in some
quarter. but 1t was possible to find
a solution agreeable to all con-
cerned.
Japan was sincere in her dis
avowel of militaristic or combative
ambitions. Her sole desire was
peaceful, economic progress and
this could only be achieved SO long
as old friendship with her great
neighbor, the United States, re-
mained unimpaired."
