Looming high upon the interna-
tional political horizon with greater
menace than at anf other time since
It's inception. the Apsio-Japanese al
lance has take vpoa itself the
maximum degree q tnportance as
result ofthe navs reduction pro-
gram presented u the worlds big
e. powers by Secretary of State
Hughes.
This treaty Of alliance. linking the
military strength Of Great Britain
in the west With that of Japan is
in the Far East, throws fresh threats
upon a peace-seeking world.
The tremendous significance of the
Anglo-Japanese treaty lies in the fact
that the contrac.:ag parties are two
of The worlds biggest sea powers.
While nc statesman. either in America
or abroad. has dared to hint Britain
war. the American proposals for limi.
tation OF naval armaments has thrown
into the forefront the enormous pos
sibilities within the grasp Of these
two powerful insular empires.
Peril To America Seen.
A ten-year naval holiday. as sug-
gested by the United States. while
leaving America second sea power in
naval tonnage, would reduce America
to position OF maritime helpless
ness in wartime II the AnglO-Japa-
nese alliance continues effective.
This alliance gives to England and
Japan a combined naval tonnage of
more than 100000 against naval
tonnage Of approximately 100000
for the United States.
The Anglo-Japanese alliance has
always been unpopular in the United
States, and this feeling has been In
creased since the American proposals
were made public yesterday, based
upon the proposition that the in.
terested Powers are equals and that
no two should combine agains. the
third.
England has run counter, also. to
tn edesires and inclinations Of two
of her overseas Dominions-Cauada
and Australia-in continuing the Jap
anese alliance or In treating Japan
like a gentleman" as Premier Lloyd
George has phrased 1t.

LONDON, Nov. 12.-I have be-
fore me as write an article on
the conference by popular Eng
lish journalist. He is under the
influence of the pacifist emotion
aroused in him by the hymns
Of peace which are being sung
to welcome the delegates to Wash
inRton.
"War," he declares, ,5is GRIM.
mar 1dhsry: ~ mould be .a6l-
ished. The Pacific pfoiAem can
be settled peacefully VI the
United States and BIRTHS, gov
ernments will rise to the oc-
acsion and stand firmly together
for the cause Of humanfs..
And again: "War is wicked.
bestial. futile. 1t should not be-
allowed. It can be prevented.
The first and most needful step
toward prevention is a solemn
agreement between our govern
ments that they will forbid it."
Frantic Fire Eater.
Excellent, you say. adding per
haps, that it is fortunate for the
writer that he was not In America
during the war, as he would GER
tainly have shared the fate Of Mr.
Debs. But he would have run no
such risk, for this out and out pacif-
list was, from the firing Of the first
shot in 1914 until the present wave
OF pacifism got him, the most fran
tic fire-eater in England.
The journal which he, himself,
controls proposed the Herodian
slaughter Of babies whose fathers
were Germans. And nothing is
more certain in human nature than
that IL England and the United
States came to blows, this apostle
Of peace would certainly denounce
all Americans as the seed of Satan,
preach their determination as the
most sacred duty of all good men,
and hound our tribunals to deal
mercilessly with every conscientious
objector who ventured to hint at
war being anything less than the
noblest of human activities.
And ne would mean every word
of it. just as now he means every
word Of the sentences have quoted
from his latest article.
Whether America has any emo
tional Journalists OF that type is not
for me to say. What can say is
that the British press is overrun
with them.
Talk Of Friendship.
The British newspapers, now that
Washington is their theme, are
seething in the milk of human kind
ness and backing up for all they are
worth Mr.. Henry Arthur Jones'
pledge that. 1t would take two thou
sand years OF misunderstanding to
induce any Englishman to shed the
blood Of An American.
But do not be deceived. All that
reckless, brainless, emotional self.

COMPLETE SURPRISE. !
Z The Startling proposai
came within an hour after
the opening of the momen-
tous armament conference,
within a few minutes after
the election of the American
Secretary of State to chair
manship of the conference,
and naval experts of Great
Britain and Japan unpre-
pared either to accept or re-
ject the proposals.
Great Britain made no
comment at all when Hughes
finished and japan contented
herself by making a few
stereotyped remarks about
how glad she was to be here
in Washington and how will
ing she was to Cooperate
with the nations to accom-
|plish the aims of the confer
ence."
Would Scrap Ships.
Under the terms proposed by
America, virtually half Of the can
ital ships Of all three powers would
be scrapped. The ships to be dis
carded would be of the oldest and
most obsolete class.
The immediate effect of the
American proposals il adopted
would be to leave the navies of the
world in relatively the same
strength as they are now. i. e.,
Great Britain slightly in the lead.
America second. with Japan bring
ing up the rear. considerably be-
hind the United States.
