INDIA AND DISARMAMENT.
ATTITUDE TOWARDS JAPAN. THE PACIFIC ALLIANCE. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—copyright Received Dee. 9, 9.40 p.m. Washington, Dec. The spokesman of India painted ou6 to-day that the benefits of the Disarm* ament Conference would not immediately affect India, which was apprehensive of nations such as Russia. He was sure disarmament must eventually react to the benefit of India. He only objected to the clause in the Anglo-Japanese Alliance which prohibit* ed Japan from coming to the assistance of Britain in case of trouble in, India, and he wanted all reference to India removed. He looked approvingly on the recently developed movement for other nations to be brought in in regard to Pacific affairs, as it made (for a larger understanding, removing the causes of friction. The Indian explained, that the cry “Asia for the Asiatics” was only heard, when the white races claimed the empty spaces of the earth for themselves and excluded Indians from enjoying then* benefits. He assured his hearers that the vast majority of politicallyminded men in India had no preference for Japan.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
