Premier Meighan, o f
Canada, Argue S
Against the Alliance
Today, and Jan Smuts
of South Africa Will
Take Up the Cudgels
Against 1t Tomorrow.

London, June 29.-The Anglo-Japa-
nese alliance is not to be renewed i'll
its present form, it already has been
made abundantly clear, although dis
cussion of the treaty by the confer
ence of British premiers has just be-
gun. A. J. Balfour and Lord CurZon
the only members of the conference
who thus far have dealt with the
subject, used due diplomatic caution
in their speeches, according to infor.
nation which may be regarded as au-
lucrative they left a clear impression
that while the British government
would like to have some form of un-
derstanding with Japan it is not in
clined to continue the present purely
military agreement
Inasmuch, therefore, as Premier
Meighan, of Canada, and Minister
Smuts, of South Africa, will strongly
urge against an alliance of any kind,
but will advocate a British-American-
Japanese understanding instead, the
clear prospect is that if the alliance
is renewed at all ii will be little more
than shadow of its former self
Premier Meighan prepared for to-
days conference stated case against
the alliance which, it is understood,
will be circulated in the conference
as a confidential document.
General SHUTS, who is to follow,
will support Mr.. Meighan and will in
all likelihood attack the whole for
eign policy of special alliances and
will urge, instead, mutual under
Z standing with nations through moral
and intellectual sympathy.
London June 80 Debate upon the
renewal of the Anglo-Japanese alli-
ance in which the attitude of the va
rious overseas dominions of the
British government will be variousy
explained, will begin when the I'M
perial conference which is being held
here, opened this morning.
Lord CurZon secretary of state for
foreign affairs, laid before the con-
ference yesterday the details of the
proposed renewal of the alliance, to-
gether with the political situation
bearing on the subject. A. j. Bal
four, lord president of the council, in
sisted that the alliance treaty be
brought into line wtlh the require
ments of the league of nations saying
there should be no special British
interests observed, nor should there
be an imperial aspect to the conven-
tion.

COSTS MUST Be
PUT DOWN BEFORE
RATESARE REDUCED
Spokesman for the Railroads Indi-
cate That Lower Charges Are
Long Way Off

Philadelphia, June 29-Complete
abrogation of the national agreements
and reduction of operating costs, the
largest part of which is in the pay
rolls must be effected before railroad
rates generally can be reduced, E. T..
Whittier, chief spokesman for the
roads Before the United States Rail
road Labor Board, told the trades
council of the manufacturers club
here.
Wage reductions recently ordered
by the federal board, he said. repre-
sents but a very meager part of the
actual pay increases granted railroad
employees since 1914.
That, however, is not the most i'm
portant factor now, the speaker de-
clared. The real problem is that no
relief whatsoever can be secured from
the intended abrogation of the nat
ional agreements until the railroad
managers and the men agree on mu
tually satisfactory substitutes for
them.
The relief is entirely problematical
Yet, whatever prospects there is OF
reducing rates generally must depend
altogether on reduction of operaL-
ing costs-and the largest part OF
this cost is in the payrolls."
The public has been mis- led into
believing, Mr.. Whittier asserted, tina:
the labor board cancelled the national
agreements by reducing employees
wages and ordering changes in work
ing conditions. Union leaders, he
said, do not recognize such to be the
case and are preparing future cam
paigns upon the basis of the agree
ments still being in force.
London, June 29.-Lady Randolph
Churchhill, who was Miss Jennie Je
