Rx Associated Press

Mexico City. July 4.-The diplo-' mat.c reception which George T. Summerli.l the American charge, gave here this afternoon as part of the Inde2esdence Day celebration, was not attended by any representative or the Mexican government. This was a departure from the custom which has been in vogue for several years past. but in keeping with the pre- cedent sat last year, when Mexican officials remained away from a recep- ton given by the Swedish charge.
 The absence of Mexican represent tatives from these two functions is generally taken as indicating Mexi- CO.'S desire not to be represented at receptions given by diplomats of countries which have not recognized the present government.

STATUS
 0F ALLIANCE IS
 GIVEN IN OUTLINE
Curzon, BaIfour and Other Government Officials Be- lieved Alliance Would
 Lapse on July 13
Hx Asseciated rrsss

London, July 4.--So much confus- ion has resulted from conflicting statements as to what has really talk en place in connection with the re- newal of the Anglo-Japanese alliance that statement of the precise posi- ton Eleaned from authoritative sources, seems necessary.
 Briefly, the situation is as follows:
 Last July tho British government informed the League of Nations that the treaty with Japan would be adopted to the terms of the league. That declaration appears to have been accepted by the dominions and in- deed by the British foreign office, as a denunciation of tho alliance. It was with this understanding that Ar thur Meighen. premier of Canada, en- tered the conference and made his case against renewal of the treaty. He was under the impression that un- less that alliance was renewed 1t would lapse on July 1s.
 Lord Curzon and A. J. Balfour.. who preceded the Canadian premier in statements on the subject werfe sun- der similar impression.
 MT. Meighen interrogated the Brit ish secretary for foreign affairs, but Lord Curzon assured him that the note to the league of nations consti- tuted a denunciation, and that 1t was wholly a question of letting the all iiance lapse or entering into new one.
 Remains In Force.
 On this assumption, therefore, ar gument for and against the new all lance proceeded and it was not until Friday last, after the question had been under debate for a week, that Lord Birkenhead, lord high chancell- or appeared before the conference and gave the Information that the note to tho league did not constitute de- nunciation and that, therefore, the present treaty remained in force another year.
 The old alliance entered into in 1911 remainsain force. It will remain in force until twelve months after may serve notice that 1t desires to terminate it. Whether this notice will be given, and when. depends largely upon one development, name- iy, the possibility of successful con- ference of the three powersHthe British empire. United States and Japan-upon the Pacific and disarma- ment problems.
 The conference of prime ministers
 as shown that 1t is In favor of such a conference being held but that Is not ali that is necessary to bring such yatehring about, as there must be agreement on the part of all the powers concerned.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-07-05

Great crowds gathered outside the mansion house, where the discussions took place, waving American flags many falling on their knees and reciting prayers for the success of the conference. The unionist rep resentatives met with cordial TO- ception from those assembled.
 The members of the conference were reticent regarding what took place at the meeting. but points of agreement were reached on the fi- nanciai question and the disadvan- tages of partition.
 Popular sentiment is very hopeful of peace.
 This was voiced by the lord mayor In a speech at meeting of the Dub lin corporation after the conference in which he said that he was break ing no confidence in declaring that much good will come of 1t.
 In a statement to the Associated Press today an important official in touch with all sides of the situation asserted that the government was prepared to make large concessions, the far-reaching effect of which MT. Devalera would appreciate. He add ed that fears that Mir. DeValera would be hampered by physical forces were baseless.
 The view is entertained here that Sir James Craigs absence from the conference may be even advantagA- ous to the present negotiations. since any concession necessary from Ulster might easier be made the Ulster premier in London than Dub lin. This view, however. Is not shared by the members of the con- ference, who would have preferred that all Ireland should be repre- sented.
 An exciting incident occurred after the meeting. A large republican flag decorated with American em-

 CONFERENCE CHANGES ASPECT.
 London, .vuly 5.-"Reports of ex- cellent augury" have reached West minister relative to the conference at Dublin between Eamonn DeValerd and the four southern unionists. says the parliamentary correspon- dent of the London Times. Tn guar ters where few days ago the pros- pect of Mir. DeValera coming to London was regarded as doubtful. he adds, there sprang up a belief that the conference had changed the as- pect of events. and that his coming might be regarded as not barely pos sible, but even probable.
 The correspondent declares the op- timism is due largely to information that "as an earnest of good faith, the Sim Feiners would release the Earl of Brandon. (The Earl of Brandon was Kidnapped from his resi- dence in Bantry, County Cork, by a band of armed men on the mc>aing of June 21). A
