PACIFIC PEACE.
JAPS AND AUSTRALIA.
THE ALLIANCE OPPOSED. By Telegraph.—Pre>s Awn.—CopyrifM (i Received June 15, 7.45 p.m. London, June 14. Mr. E. G. Theodore (Premier of Queensland), in an article in the Review of Reviews, entitled "The Case Against the Anglo-Japanese Alliance," says: "The story of Japan's faithfulness to the Allies has been praised from every platform, buF who has put the other side, or told of the quid pro quo which she "demanded, or, worse still, her aotual ultimatum to Australia while the war was in progress!" Mr. Theodore adds: "The people of Australia are not prepared for a renewal of the treaty, except in a considerably modified form. Japan is reaping all the benefits of the present alliance. Australians, rightly or wrongly, feel that the Jajyinese penetration in the Pacific islands is a potential danger, which js not minimised by the Japanese mandate over certain islands. The Australians' democratic sentiment is outraged by the injustice of the Japanese treatment of China. Can Britain righteously renew the treaty, admitting of the spoliation of the Chinese?"—Aus.N.Z. Cable Assn.
