JAPAN'S POSITION.
ME. HUGHES'S OPPOSITION, Received April 17, 12.5 a.m. Paris, April 15. The Kokuaai Agency has sent the following despatch to Tokio: Persons in the closest touch with President Wilson and the House inform us that they both favored the amendment, but said unanimity was required, and Japanese prestige and standing are not affected by the rejection; on the contrary, Japan's world position will be vastly increased by the recognition throughout the conference, whereas England is greatly embarrassed by Mr. Hughes, who to the last moment refused to recede from the position that any recognition of equality of races would be a menace to white Australia. Mr. Hughes's position was represented by Lord Robert Cecil in the strongest speech.—United Service.
