Depends on u. s. and China


LONDON. July THE Prime Minis
ter, Mr.. Lloyd George, stated in the
House of Commons today that he was
fairly hopeful Of being in position
to make statement concerning the
Anglo-Japahese treaty on next Monday.
He added, however, that such a state
ment would depend on the replies re-
ceived from the United States and
China
A premature declaration. Mr.. Llovd
George asserted. would interfere with
the success of the negotiations now in
progress.
Insist on Settlement
Despite the decision of Lord Birken

Anglo-Japanese treaty will remain in
force until twelve months after such

tc bring the matter up again some TINA
next week and are confident that "a y
result of the representations they pro-
pose making, steps will be taken to-
ward giving the twelve months notice
of the termination of the treaty.
Inc ground upon which it is believed
they will base their case is that the
Chanceilor's explanation ignores the
crucial point in the whole matter
Article 20 of the League of Nations
covenant. Under this article members
OF the League agree the covenant ais
accepted as abrogating all obligations
or understandings inter Sc which are
inconsistent with the terms thereof
and undertake to adopt Immediate
steps to procure their release from
any Obligations Inconsistent with the
terms OF the covenant which they NAV
nave undertaken before becoming mem
bers Of the League of Nations.
Inconsistency Admitted
The Foreign Office, in a note signed
by. Lord Curzon himself. admitted last
july that the Anglo-Japahesc treaty
was not wholly in accord with the
League of Nations covenant, and tha4
consequently both the United Kingdom
and Japan were under obligation to re-
Use It, While Premiers Meighen and
SHUTS and other opponents Of the alli-

May Abandon Republic

LONDON, July 7 canadian press).-
From an Irish Nationalist source it is
learned that De Valera, if he comes to
London, will abandon the claim for an
Irish republic, but will insist upon a
measure of dominion home rule, With a
separate Parliament for Ulster, vest4d
with powers similar to those enjoyed
by Canadian provincial legislatures.
He will ask that the central or Dublin
Parliament be vested with wide meas
ure of fiscal autonomy.
The Sim Fem leader, it is said, de-
sires also that the Irish Parliament
shall have the right of controlling it's
own army and navy, if these should be
found necessary. He will demand that
the Irish control the. police and post
office departments and will ask for full
recognition Of the unity Of the Irish
nation.
De Valera will maintain that the
Parliament should have the right to
decide its own taxation policy and the
manner in which its revenue shall be
expended, holding that the power of
controlling the taxation of its constitu-
ents is Inherent in the Parliament.
