the experts who drew the new four-power
treaty acknowledge that they appropTi-
ated the language of the Augio-Japauesn
alliance as well as American declarations.
The following comparison shows how the
new treaty was built up. First. taking
the text of article , OF the treaty a. an
nounced by Senator Lodge last Saturday,
it reads:
Article Two.
III the said rights are threatened by
the aggressive action Of any other power,
the high contracting powers shall com
muulcate with one another fully and
frankly i'm order 10 arrive at an under
standing as To the most efficient measures
to be taken. jointly or separately to meet
the exigence~ of the particular situation
Now the RCot-Iakahara agreement OF
November. 1908. provides under Article
: that:
should any event occur threatening
the status quo of the Pacific or the princI-
pies Of equal opportunity it remains for
the two governments tthe United States
and Japan to communicate with each
other in order to arrive at an under
standing as to what measures they may
consider it useful to take.
Another Article.
Going still further into the text of the
Angl0-JapancSe alliance, the following
article was appropriated
1t is agreed that whenever in the opin-
ion If either Great Britain or Japan.
any Of The rights and interest referred to
in~the preamble are in jeopardy the two
governments will communicate with one
aother tuiIy and frankly and will consider
in common the measures which should be
taken to safeguard those menaced rights
and interest" Japan was thus persuaded
that the vital part of the AngIo-Japanese
alliance. namely partnership and con~uI-
tation with Great Britain was retained,

WASHINGTON. Dee Il - All the
various meanings. implications and bcne-
fits of the new four-power treaty between
the United States. Japan, Great Britain
and France have now been assembled by
the experts, international lawyers and
diplomats and can be catalogued some
what as follows:
First, the new treaty gets rid of the
Anglo-Japanese alliance. The benefit di-
rcctly is to the United States ON this point
as the alliance was considered menace
to America.
Second it saves the face of Japan
which was in the awkward position of
having her great ally, the British empire
withdraw from the alliance The benefit
here is to both Great Britain and Japan
/ in moral values and a continuance of
friendship.
Third, it guarantees the Philippines
against aggression by any power and en-
ables the United States to rely upon the
moral support. ii not physical help, of
any of the other three powers in the event
