Great Britain is reported to be will
ing to insure the defence Of the
Philippines under some Far Eastern
arrangement which may be found sat
isfactory to the nations represented
at the arms conference. This I'M.
portant intelligence lifts a great
burden from the negotiations and
greatly augments the chances of a
successful settlement.
America has no naval bases per-
mitting her easily to defend her
Pacific islands and therefore Brit
aims offer changes the aspect Of the
Far Eastern problems. Britain is
about to establish q great naval base
in the eastern hemisphere at Singa-
pore.
From this base the defence of the
Philippines can be undertaken by
her with comparative ease. By her
offer Britain also has removed pos.
sible obstacle to Mr.. Hughes's pro-
gramme for the limitation OF arma.
ment.
Great Britain Is thought to be un'
willing to abandon the Anglo.Japa'
nese alliance because she feels 1t to
rbe point of honor not to do so. At
the same time she desires to offer
guarantees that this alliance Is not
directed in any way against America.
Her willingness to guarantee the de-
fence of the Philippines is presum'
ably offered as a guarantee that she
will not fight against America.
