LOYALTY TO ALLIES. . A GREAT NATIONAL" PRINCIPLE. Tokio, April 14. A discussion hy been running in certain newspapers concerning the value and durability of the Anglo-Japanese alliance. Some correspondents of the Japanese press in China, complain of the unfriendliness of British residents -in China. Baron Ishii, Minister of Foreign Af-' fairs, interviewed, said it was superfluous to make protestations of Japan's loyalty to the Allies. The real Japan resents the bare insinuation of disloyalty towards a friend in trouble. Discussion over the conditions of treaties was permissible during peace, but not when the Ally was engaging a relentless enemy. Japan wa3 bound to England by close bonds of mutual friendship and mutual gratitude arid, despite the enemy's efforts to sow discord, the war was going to bring the world closer together. Baron Takahaski, leader of the Oppoi sition, interviewed, said that the loyalty 'of Japan to the Anglo-Japanese alliance was fixed as a great national principle. A change of Cabinet, would not alter the foreign policy a hair's breadth. M. Makano, president of the Tokio Chambers of Commerce, says that competition in China must not be allowed to endanger Anglo-Japanese political relations.
