SEEKING SUPPORT

Oriental Envoy Sees Menace
in Renewal of Anglo
Japanese Treaty.
BY the Associated Press


NEW YORK, May 12.-China is
seeking the support of public opinion
in the United States and the British
dominions to prevent the renewal of
the Anglo-Japanesc treaty. Bertram
Lenox Simpson, adviser to the presi-
dent of China and statistician to the
Chinese government. declared in a
statement made public here today.
Mr.. Simpson. who recently arrived
from Canada, where he discussed the
treaty question with Premier Meig-
hen and other Canadian officials, said
he had been commissioned by the
Chinese government as its official
spokesman in regard to the treaty.
He was instructed. he added, to use
his discretion in seeking to create
public sentiment against the treaty's
renewal on the ground that il tended
to give moral support TO Japan for
further encroachments on China
China has been confidentially in
formed. Mr.. Simpson declared. that
the phrase regional understanding"
in article u of the covenant of the
league of nations was selected by
British and japanese statesmen with
the purpose of later contending that
the Anglo-Japanese treaty was such
a regional understanding" with re-
spect to China. If this article re-
mains in the covenant. he said. il
means that the Understanding of
Japan and England becomes the ac
knowledged law of the orient.
Mr.. Simpson declared that China
has sent a special delegate to Paris
and Geneva to protest against the
instructions were to present China 5
viSed covenant.
