ANGLO-JAPANESE TREATY

EFFECT ON THE DOMINIONS. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. "LONDON, July 21. (Received July 22, at 8.5 a.m.) In the House of Commons Viscount Wolmor (U.) inquired as to the extent to which the Oversea Dominions were committed by their approval of the AngloJapanese Treaty, and whether Japan had informed the Dominions of her course of action, in the event of Great Britain being involved in war, under Article 2 of the Treaty. Sir E. Grey said that the action of thd Dominions, in the ovent of war, was a matter for consideration by the Imperial Government in consultation with the Dominions, and not a matter for discussion with any foreign Government. FEELING IN JAPAN. TOKIO, July 21. (Received July 22, at 11.10 a.m.) Tho news, as originally published, implied that the Anglo-American Arbitration Treaty would bo concluded without a renewal of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, hence strong disapproval was expressed at the time. Lending journals and prominent publicists now express their satisfaction with the extension of the area of the Pacific zone. They declaro that Japan desires an arbitration treaty with L T nited States, inasmuch as an armed conflict is an unthinkable proposition.
