Although cooperation of state and

Where u. S. and British Colonies Agree

No steps have been taken by, the
British dominions to present the pro-
pOsal to the State department. This
is partly due to the brief tenure Of
the present administration. The only
exchanges have been with Republican
senator's known to be in close SYM
patty with the Harding administra-
ton.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, chair
man of the senate foreign relations
committee and Republican leader of
the senate, in a speech several weeks
ago in Philadelphia, made one brief
reference to the japanese problem.
The paragraph suggested union of
the British dominiOnS with the United
States in dealing with japanese immi-
grafton and land ownership, " copy OF
which Mr.. Lodge said. found its way
into the British embassy here in an as
tonishingly short time. Because of the
Anglo-Japanese alliance there was
nothing official which the embassy
could do.
But a high official of the govern
ment of Australia did not feel so ham,
pered. Moreover, he knew well that
the feeling in New Zealand and Cana
da was precisely similar to that in Aus
tralia and the United States. SO he
wrote to Mr.. Lodge commencing the
suggestion of a league of English
speaking nations whose boundaries
touch the Pacific.
Mr.. Lodge has since consulted many
of his colleagues and approval OF his
idea has been very general.
