Water For Whisky.
JAPANESE VIEW OF PACT
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16
A leading Japanese delegate gives an unqualified denial to the statement that the Japanese diplomats regard the Quadrilateral Treaty, and will so prsent it to their people, as constituting a promise which is to take the place of the guarantees of the Anglo-Japanese Allianc*. He smilingly continued: “As a nia ter of fact, we have been affected m more ways than one by American prohibition. In accepting the Quadrilateral Treaty we have accepted water for whisky, but we did so because our primary object was accord.” Commenting on the scope of the Quadrilateral Treaty an American renresentativ© at the Conference said rhat it did not include the Japanese mainland and Australia and New Zealand. It included no right® and interests in the mainland of Asia and dr not attempt to interfere with settle ment by the countries concerned of their own domestic problems. From an even higher quarter t-omes a declaration that there is nothing in the Quadrilateral Treaty requiring one nation to enter into armed activity m response of the decision of any of the three others.
