Show f-i m m fr I ANG-JAP PACT OBSOLETE foU Lord Northcliffe believes the United F States will be unduly handicapped at the I armaments conference by the alliance be- T tween Great Brjtian and Japan. He fur ther declares that the agreement between the two countries is out of date. Lord Northcliffe has just completed a tour of the Far East, and the British citizens tr & whom he has interviewed in that part of ' the world are a unit in strong opposition '; to a continuance of the alliance.

States on immigration matters affecting t the Japanese, and in a desire to keep the territorial ambitions of the Japs within I bounds. " South Africa, although not so directly affected by the Japanese ques- Sty' tion as the other dominions, would prob-K prob-K . ably stand with them in any measure to repress the grasping proclivities: of the ' Japs. It is probable that if the British re presentatives at the armaments .conference .confer-ence undertake to be too liberal with their. Japanese colleagues they will find i themselves representing the British Isles m and not the British Empire. F .! fa.ll"""'!!! Bk Ik tea -r.. |
