ing to Toxic cablegram to To-
cal Japanese language newspa-
per.
Washington, Dec. IA mutual
pledge not to go to war over dis
putes in the Pacific without "cool-
ing off period" of discussion is the
basis of the new four power treaty
proposed as a substitute for the An
glo-Japanese alliance.
Discussions of the proposals
among the arms delegates have
reached we'll advanced stage al
though none of the governments, con-
cerned-the United States, Great
Britain, Japan and France-has CIV
en- it's final approval.
May Revoke Anglo-Jap Treaty
A suggestion that the Anglo-Jap-
anese pact be revoked has gone to
London and Toxic. Possible contro-
versies over the Pacific Islands alone
exclusive of the Hawaiian group and
Yap, would come under the provis |?
ions of the new agreement. Yap is
to be the subject of separate treaty,
negotiations for which are nearing
completion and Hawaii is to be con-
sidered for purposes of the agree
ment, as part of the American main
land
The problems of China, or other
portions of the Asiatic mainland,
are not to be touched by the propos-
ed treaty, nor will it contain provis-
ions relating to Pacific Notifications
or the naval education program. 1t
is possible however, that all of these
Questions may come simultaneously
to the point of decision. By the
American delegates the project is re-
garded as establishing neither an al
lance nor an entente but merely as
applying to the Pacific islands the
principle of the thirty odd Bryan
peace treaties to which the United
States is already party. A public
statement setting forth that posi-
tion probably will be made in the
near future by Secretary Hughes.
