ANGLO-JAPANESE TREATY.
MR. HUGHFT VIEWS. By Teleffraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Sydney, April 25. Mr. Hughes, sneaking at Bendigo, referring to the Anglo-Japanese treaty, mentioned that Australia had never before been c 'nsulted on this subject. He declared that it was well the treaty was in existence during the war, and asked: “Do you think it would have been an extraordinary thing, if there had been no treaty, that a great nation like Japan, with its teeming millions and great military reputation, had struck a blow at this great fertile continent of ours full of those things which Japan requires?” The possibility of another world war arising over a tiny island like Yap would be a disgrace to civilisation. There must be some other means of settling the question. They must do their share in urging the necessity of a satisfactory alliance between Britain and Japan which should also be acceptable, to America. He declared it would save Australia millions yearly.
