AMERICA FAvORS
JAPAN ATTITUDE
FORMER BRITISH AMBASSADOR
IN LONDON ARTICLE REVIEWS
POPULAR ATTITUDE
Former British Ambassador Gives His
Views Regarding California
Situation; Conference
Hope Bright

London--Americans are apprehen-
sive of japanese aggression, says Wis
count james Bryce, former British am
bassador at Washington, in an article
printed In Tuesdays London Times N
which he reviews the popular attitude
of America toward the conference on
the limitation of ornaments as he OBJ
served 1t during his recent visit. to the
United States. He declares Americans
hold the opinion that the Anglo-Japan-
ese treaty encourages Japan to take an
aggressive attitude.
Viscount Bryce depreciates the fear
of Japan, and says among other things
that the Japanese In California are not
numerous enough to be In danger, al
though they are clannish and progress
sive.
CALIFORNIA;, he goes on, shave the
same sort of dislike for them which
the rougher part OF the wage earning
class everywhere has for strangers
who, while competing for work, are dis
similar in habits and aspects. The ir-
ritation against the Japanese is sedu-
lousy fostered and diffused by the
meaner organs of the press. Some
American writer's have even warned
California to beware Of Japanese in
vasion, although everyone might at this
time and day be expected to know what
would befall feet and army arriving
on hostile coast afer a voyage of
many thusands of miles, occupying
more than three weeks"
1Mr. Harding's administration has
done all 1t can and deserves success"
he concludes, "but If the conference
should fail the disappointment of
American hopes would be bitter and
severe in proportion to their present
brightness, and the prospect of inter-
national cooperation would be dark
ened."
The dominions, said the premier, viii
be represented as follows:
Canada-Sir Robert L. Borden.
Australia George Foster Pearee.
New Zealand--Sir John Salmond.
India-Zrinavasa Zastri.
South Africa BY representatives OF
the British government.
The senior British naval expert, the
premier announced, would be admiral
Earl Beatty, commander of the grand
fleet, who would be succeeded in due
course by Admiral Chadwick.
| Lord Cavan. in charge of the British
army operations in Italy in the last
year of the war, would be the prin-
cipal military expert, apd Air Marshal
Higgins would be the aviation expert
the premier stated, while the secretary
of the delegation would be Sir Mau
rice Hankey, secretary of the cabinei

Into these lads. Though still just
