PACIFIC AFFAIRS
BASIS OF BRITISH POLICY.
(To the Editor.)
In reply to "J.VjD." as to what British policy in the Pacific really is, it may be mentioned that the test outline of this policy is to be found in the Lytton Report. There it is laid down that the interests of Russia, Japan and China must bo alike considered; that the sovereignty of China must be respected; that the provisions off ttie NinePower Treaty must be observed; and that both the Covenant and the Kellogg Pact must be kept in the spirit as well as in the letter. The policy of Britain 'has been to maintain the sanctity of treaties. The position in the Pacific is far from reassuring. The interests of Russia, Japan and the United 'States are apparently in danger of coming into conflict. Britain has done her best to recognise these interests and find some way in which they may be reconciled.. But in case of failure she is taking steps to safeguard her own interests. BRITISHER.
