A PACIFIC EXAMPLE

The French Parliament the other day, following
its approval of the Washington naval limitation
treaty, unanimously ratified the fourpower Pacific
treaty. By that treaty America Great Britain, France
and Japan agree to keep the peace in the Pacific
Ocean, with special reference to the Far East and the
South Pacific islands.
It is the treaty which made unnecessary the Brit
ish-Japanese alliance and removed the threat of war
between Japan and the United States. France

her delay in ratification holding up the operation

The applause is echoed on this side of the water.
And Europe might possibly do that very thing, if
France would make real effort in that direction.
