WASHINGTON-Great Britain's
position at the coming conference
on disarmament and the adjustment
Of Far Eastern affairs will he largely
shaped by the pressure of the pre-
miers of her four great colonies
Meighen Gf Canada, Hughes of Aus
tralia, Massey of New Zealand and
Smuts OF South Africa.
Australia, particularly, is intense
ly interested in the Far Eastern
questions that will be raised at the
conference. Premier Hughes has
been the chief proponement for the
renewal of the Anglo-Japanese alli-
ance. on the ground that such an
alliance fortified the cause of white
Australia" and sheltered that coun-
try from encroachment by Japan.
To a lesser degree the same is
true OF New Zealand. Canada's IN
terest runs largely parallel to that
Of the United States.
This government has indicated It's
willingness TO adjust the time of the
conference to suit the convenience
Of these colonial premiers, but stress
ing the desire that il be not later
than November.
At least three of the premiers
Hughes. Massey and Meighan. are
considered almost certain TO attend
