Received 4 27 p.m., Sept. 80. London, Sept 30, Mr W. S. Reeves, High Commissioner for New Zealand, in an interview, said he was confident New Zealand would welcome the Anglo Japanese treaty, since they entertain the greatest admiration and respect for the Japanese, while they are not labor rivals. , „ , , Mr Ooghlan declined to define tbe Australian opinion of the treaty. Mr James, West Australian AgentGeneral, declared that all thinking Australians must approve of the treaty, though it would not alter tbe local view on the question of race oolor. He was ioolined to. think that if any particular portion of the law was extremely obnoxious to Japan, Australia would be willing to modify it. j Received 4.36 p.m, Sept. 80.
Mr A. Bonar Law, Parliamentary secretary to the Board of Trade, speaking at Glasgow, emphasised that the treaty with Japan was a momentous step. He declared that Government were looking ahead trying to control events. It was not drafted by them. Such a polioy was dis. tasteful to a large section of Liberals. E s will hot be surprised if it does not produce the'same differences as in the Boer war.
