They had reached the very heart Of the city
where the throng was thckest. when the Presi-

Canada Wants No Renewal
OF Japan British Treaty

PeoPic III respect 10 America, ana
favorlng national independence,
had, till quite recently, become
dormant, and though it has awak-
ened somewhat, the party at pres
ent In power grew strong under
the paper crusade for imperialism
and is now sending it's chief pol
itlclan to London to more or less
identify our nation with military
and naval schemes for perpetual
ing Britain's Asiatic Empire, and
with the more hateful policy of
alliance with Japan-an alliance
that is intended to isolate Amer
lea, whose interests in the Pa
cifc are inseparable from our
own"
This analysis of the situation.
coming from an Australian bust
ness man, is interesting, important
and surprising to those that do not
know that real democracy exists in
the British colonies.
Still more surprising is the sug-
gestiOn that the United States, i'm
itating England, should organize
propaganda in Australia to turn
public opinion in the right direction.
The writer of the letter continues:
"Now, what is the remedy for
thisi 1t is that the United States
should spend in Australia on
propaganda favoring an Amer
lcan-Australian entente just an
in6nitesimal fraction of the mon
ey that Britain laid out in Amer
lea to further British designs.
Australia, with a score of
ports, backed by vast expenses
of trackless, rugged, sand-hilied
and heavily wooded country, could
not be invaded by less than a mil
lion men, and where is the power
on earth that could land such a
force through seas secured by a
score or more of submarines which
we could have at less cost than
the handful of show cruisers
which now afford comfortable
quarters for imported British Of
fcers'
"We want, at least, one great
newspaper to forcibly present
such considerations and to empha-
size the fact that America would
come to our aid in our time of
need, if We only treated her fairly
and squarely AS a friend ought to
be treated.
There is no prominent journal

icy with the London Daily News
or the Manchester Guardian, and
as there is longing demand

Enlistment of a patriotic, liberal
daily, there is a splendid opening
for such newspaper in this
city, and in Melbourne, also, to a
lesser extent. This is merely from
the low ground of business prop
osition, but far and away beyond
such a consideration is that a
really genuine Australian -motived
journal would make it leading
object of its existence to advocate
an American Australian entente.

DISPATCH from Canada says
that Meighen, Prime Minister

s~~~S ~"~~N - AASAA, - AAAA~S
- Of Canada, has gone to London
to tell the British government that
Canada wants no renewal of the
treaty between England and Japan,
except on lines SATISFACTORY to
the United States.
Canada and Australia and other
British provinces have learned that
imperialism is costly as well as mag
nifcent. England is gradually to
learn how youngsters wander away
from the paternal roof and set no
for themselves.
1t may surprise some British sub
Jects to know that the distant col
onies are thinking for themselves
and thinking of SELF-GOVERN-
MENT, as separate empires, with no
outside connections or ties except
friendly treaties with other nations.
A letter is received by the editor
of this newspaper from business
man of Sydney, Australia, who con-
siders Australian relations with the
United States, on account of the
Asiatic menace, more important than
any relations with England. The
following paragraphs of his letter
are enkghtening:
GAS / write, the Prime Minister
of Australia is departing for Lon
don to take part with the Premiers
of other self governing sections of
the British Empire in a confer
ence on the proposed renewal of
the AnglO-Japanese Alliance and
on propositions having as their OBJ
ject the centralizing in Britain of
the control of the naval and mil
itary powers of the Dominions.
SIN every way the schemes out
lined aim at the strengthening of
England at the expense of the
overseas nations of her Empire,
which, because they were assumed
to be nations, were permitted by
really sovereign powers to take
part in the Paris, Versailles and
Geneva conferences. Now, in re-
spect to the proposed renewal of
the alliance with Japan, the inter
ests of Australia and of New Zea-
land Gan out-and-out imperialist
country and, to a lesser extent,
those of Canada and South Africa,
are far more in harmony with the
interests of the United States than
they are with England IS; yet no
one has recently tried to bring
this home to our people.
"The imperialists of Britain
have now no longer the motive
they alleged before the fall of
Germany for the continuance of
the agreement with Japan.
"What, then, is the cause That is
powerful enough to induce Brit
ain to league herself with an
Asiatic power which is the very
epitome of all the ambitions that
were alleged against Germany,
and which, moreover, aims to be
the leader of the colored races
against the whitesi Where is the
originating source of the British
desire for renewal of the treaty
with Japani
at is to be found in two facts:
they are deep seated but pro-
found jealousy of the United
States and fear of the growing
movement for national independ-
ence among the subject peoples
of India, Egypt and Mesopotamia.
"The maintenance of their high
ly profitable control of India is
the very cornerstone of the secret
foreign policy of the ruling classes
of Britain; yet not one of the
overseas nations of her Empire
