In connection with _ Sir Austen Chamberlain's remarks in the House of Commons, it is pointed out here that negotiations for a new Arbitration Treaty, between the United States and Britain have been under way for almost a year. A draft of the now treaty was submitted to Sir Esmc Howard last December, and was identical with that which was submitted to Francs and has since been signed and ratified. The delay has been explained by Sir F.sjne Howard, who said it was due to the fact that Britain needed time to consult the dominions. No indication of a hitch is disclosed. The State Department lias been expecting the conclusion _ of the signature any time.—Australian Press Association-United Service.
