|ANCLO-JAP TREATY
FIRST ISSUE FOR
BRITISH COUNCIL
Predict Imperial Confer.
ence May Be in Ses-
sion Two Months.

LONDON, June 1s.-The questions
of empire to be discussed at the
coming imperial British conference
are so momentous that IL Is now un-
officially predicted that the meeting
will continue for at least two
months.
The first gathering will take place
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock at
Downing Street. Subsequent ses-
sions will be held in St. James Pal
ace.
Preliminary Meeting.
Among those who will meet with
Lloyd George at the opening ses-
sion are Premier Hughes, of Aus
tralia; Massey, Of New Zealand /:
Gen. Smuts, of South Africa; Neigh
an, of Canada, and the Maharajah OF
Cutih, India 1t Is pointed out that
this sitting is to be more or less
of a preliminary affair to permit
the various premiers to deliver their
personal viewpoints to Lloyd George.
The most important question. and
one which will receive immediate
attention. will be that of the re-
newal of the Angio-Japan treaty.
1t is reported on good authority
that the British cabinet recently
discussed the situation and pre-
pared its own brief" to place
that imperial policy regarding
Japanese squarely before the do
minion leaders. What that policy
is. however. wig not be disclosed
until the coloniAs have themselves
enunciated their own views.
Hints at Renewal of Pact.
There are certain hints from va
rious quarters that the cabinet de-
sires to renew understanding with
Japan. but that it will not press
for a renewal of the actual alli-
ance-provided such an under
standing does not conflict with the
paramount desire to arrive at COM
plete accord with the United States.

IT was said at a recent meeting of
the London Geological society that the
plan of making, and keeping on record,
films of rare ANIMALS had been entered
upon with considerable success, the
natural movements of the beasts hav-
ing been reproduced on the screen il
a most interesting and Instructive
manner. 1t is indeed reasonable TO
suppose that the four-legged film act
ors may even be more successful, from
an artistic standpoint, than their hui
man colleagues; first, because their
motions are naturally ineligible with
out the accompaniment of spoken Ian
guage; and second. because they can
not be trained, as movie" performers
apparently are, to chop up their move
ments into a limited number of StereO-
typed gestures, in more or less regular
sequence. which audiences presumably
know by heart and may anticipate
well in advance.-Christian Science
