can delegation. They have pre-
tended to quote Mr.. Root as sup
porting the British opposition to a
revision of the Jap-Chinese treaty
OF 1915. They insist that Mr.. Root.
as the spokesman Of the American
delegati ton, declared in the confer
ence that, as China Is a sovereign
power. all its treaties must be con-
sidered final, whether made under
duress or not.

II this were true, it would amount
to a withdrawal OF the formal
American protest against that
treaty in 1915, when China yielded
to the twenty-one Japanese de-
mands. But the Amer can delega-
ton insists that Mr.. Root made
no such declaration and that the
British view misrepresents the
American attitude. The spokes-
men Of the American delegation,
however. have been careful not to
make our rejection of the British
view too vigorous, lest IL might
offend Mr.. Balfour and his col
leagues. The test in this quest. on
is therefore still to come.
In the Siberian question, the Brit
ish are taking the same attitude.
The Japanese insist that the evacu-
alton Of IBERIA is a matter solely
between Japan and Russia. The
British support this view, thereby
repudiating Secretary Hughes
promise that the arms conference
would exercise a moral trustee

enforce this view, the Siberian
question might as well go into the
conference waste basket at once.
But IL II does. II Is a confession
Of conference bankruptcy, and the
Senate of the United States will
act accordingly when it reaches the
conference treaties.

81 found Judge Moncure sitting on
the steps of my office one morning
waiting for me. He informed me that
he was going to try and settle the
Smith case amicably," Snow said.
Shortly after the judges arrival.
Smith was brought to the office by
Officers Magler. Durrer and MacKsy.
According to Snow. Moncure then
went into secret session with the in
terested parties, emerging three
quarters of an hour later and all
nounced that "they would drop the
prosecution and would not ask any
thing further"
Understand this is not direct from
me, but IL from Judge Moncure."
Snow testified.
MRS. Smith asked me II the agree
ment entered into was satisfactory
with me and told her that naturally
Il was, that the Judge of the corpora
ton court had made the arrange
ments and that l had no privilege In
the matter. Then, the judge out.
lined to me the entire agreement. He
made the agreement altogether" Snow
testified.
Mrs. Smith, in her testimony, de-
clared that she would not consent to
the judges agreement unless II am
sure I could get a divorce from him.
This assurance, Smith says, Moncure
gave him.
During the preliminary trial for
maintenance of the four-month-o ole
baby, conflicting testimony as to the
charges Of criminal assault were
made by Mrs. Smith and her husband.
According to testimony of the wife,
her husband admitted the criminal
act.
Her husband, represented by Bud
wesky & Davis, cited the agreement,
which, 1t was declared, was entered
into as full settlement of the case"
In accordance with the agreement
q divorce was granted to Smith on
June 3, or just thirty days after the
wedding was performed.
The fact that the divorce, granted
In accordance with the agreement,
was issued only one month after the
wedding, members of the Alexandra
Bar Assoc!at. on point out, was a
direct violation Of the divorce code
Of the State.
Members of the Alexandria bar de-
clare that the agreement of Judge
Moncure was not only inethical, but
contrary to law and public principle.

act in partnership in the arms con-
ference discussions. For there Is no
longer any question that an honest
execution of the high purposes OF
the conference would put in teop-
ardy" he Japanese plumber In
China and Siberia. That being true,
the Japanese are entitled to British
help and they are getting II.
When the British came to wash
ington they thought the task OF
circumventing the restoration OF
this plumber would be an easier one.
Mr.. Balfour's notion was that all
that would be necessary would be
to grab everything in sight and
then to force an adjournment OF the
conference before the Chinese and
Siberian questions could be brought
to a final decision. Messrs. Hughes
and Root were willing to acquiesce
in this. But President Harding was
not, and for the moment he seems
to have been master OF the situa-
ton.
So the conference is still on. But
the British support of the Japa-
nese has made 1t almost Impossible
to get. a real settlement. The
British delegates have supported
the Japanese in their insistence on
being allowed to hold the ShantunR
railroad. The British pro-Japanese
Intervention has been even more
marked in the consideration OF the
Chinese insistence on a revision OF
the famous Twenty-one Demands.
Here the British have not been
content with giving their moral
support to the Japanese refusal.

The Anglo-Japanese alliance 4

The Anglo-Japanese alliance Is at
work in the sessions Of the arms con-
ference. Whenev yer Secretary
Hughes departs far enough from
British influence to oppose a Jap
anese demand he discovers that the
British are standing behind the
Japanese. Sometimes they let the
little Japs do II and merely encour-
age the gentlemen from Tokyo. But
the effect Is always the same. The
effect is that the American plans
for q decent settlement Of the Far
Eastern questions are frustrated by
the Anglo-Japanese alliance.
Technically we have no right to
complain. Mr.. Hughes was inveigled
into signing an alliance with Great
Britain, Japan and France, with the
specific provision that the Anglo
Japanese alliance shall remain effec-
tive until the new quadruple alliance
has been ratified by the Senate. That
signature was a definite American
recognition Of the validity Of that
alliance.
The Anglo-Japanese compact pro-
vides that whenever ''in the opinion
OF either Great Britain or Japan"
any Of the rights of these powers in
Asia are 'in jeopardy" then 1.-The two
governments will communicate with
one another fully and frankly and
will consider in common the meas
ures which should be taken TO safe
guard those menaced rights or in
terests."
