ANEW FOUR-POWER

cific without cooling off period" OF
discussion is the basis of the new four
power treaty proposed as a substitute
for the Anslo-Japanese alliance.

subject of a treaty under negotiations
which are nearing completion and
Hawaii is to be considered, for the
purpose of the agreement, part OF the
American mainland.
The problems of China or other por-
tons of the Asiatic mainland are not
to be touched by the proposed treaty,
nor will it contain provisions relating
to Pacific Notifications or the naval
reduction program. 1t is possible, how

By the American delegates the pro-
jected is regarded as establishing
neither an alliance, nor an entente,
but merely as applying to the Pacific
islands the principle Of the thirty-odd
