He Has Little Liking
For "exclusive alliances" General
SHUTS has little liking. Too often
they are for ends, purely selfish. that
beget suspicion and jealousy and lead
to quarrels. 1t might be asked at
once what need has England to renew
her exclusive treaty OF alliance with
Japan? The original treaty when
first negotiated was not popular. The
renewal in 1905 was disliked in Eng
land: it was very much disliked here.
In the renewal now proposed the
Dominions insist that there be un-
mistakable provisions excluding Eng
land from participation in any differ
ence Japan might have with the
United States. But why any treaty
OF this kind at all? Neither Japan
nor Great Britain has special inter-
ests' known to the world which would
seem to require safeguarding by al
lance just now, and many western
nations may be moved to inquire
what bearing the Anglo-Japanese
treaty is going to have on the future
of China
Better than treaty alliances between
two nations or groups of nations is
the compact Of peace and justice Of
all nations. Addressing MIR. Lloyd

subject that lies very near his heart
and near the hearts of millions upon

need amendment in order to make II
