JAP ALLIANCE,
DISTURB
TWONATIONS
Some Britains Admit Evi-
dent Drift Against Peace
Cannot be Ignored
WAR DEBT ALSO
POINT AT ISSUE

LONDON. Feb Omitted Press)
The warning by an official OF the
British foreign Office that Britain
and America might drift into war
caused as great a sensation In Eng
land az in the United States
'"There has been a drift we can
not afford to ignore" the Daily News
declared editoria,iiy.
This newspaper published extracts
from the foreign ofice spokesman's
statement. as cabled back 70 Eng
land from America where the warn
ing was FIRST printed.
Il said that the authority who ad-
dressed the American correspond
ent at the foreign Office voicing the
warning seemed TO have laid before
them rather highly colored pic
turo OF the dangers threatening the
relations OF the two countries"
There Is something 20 be said for
the line he appears TO have taken.
/ IL is possible for friends 70 drift
apart gradually and to suddenly find
they have drifted apart further than
they knew.
'-rhat there has been a drift. we
cannot afford 10 ignore. Points in
the controversy over oil. naval riv-
airy. the cables and the Anglo-Jap-
ancse alliance need no seeking. but
there is not one OF them that ought
seriously 20 compromise the good
understanding that has tradition
ally existed between the two ma
tons"
The editorial said there Is no
prospect OF such friction as could
Justify discussion OF war between
America and Britain.
Il was learned that the statement
made by the foreign office spolSes-
man to the American correspondents
was a carefully considered speech.
which had been approved by high
government officials II was reiter-
ated today to the United Press that
the phrase "Anglo-American rela-
tions are more strained than appears
on the surface" summarizes the
situation adequately but not in an
alarmist way.
Americans here werc nystihed a.
to the meaning OF the warning. The
inastence OF a government Official
that there was a divergence OF
American and British views that
was creating a tension. was puzzling
TO them.
II was learned authoritativeiy that
the British frequently and for
maliy have suggested TO Washington
that war debts should be cancelled.
Government officials here cannot
understand the attitude OF tho
United States treasury in refusing
20 do so.
Divergencies over tho oil and debt
questions are apparently the most
serious now. The British resent the
alleged American attitude that
Britain is grabbing all the oil lands.
The British assert that American oil
interests took from the English .
most valuable oil concession OF 5000
square miles in Costa Rica, and re-
peated such action In Colombia
British officials also charge tina
