FAR EASTERN POLICY
JAPAN AND AMERICA Pn»s Association-~By Telegraph—Copyrigtn TOKIO, August 10. The usually reliable ‘ Hochi Shimbun ’ understands that Japan is considering a plan to ask the United States to exclude relations with China from the scope of the Japanese-Atneri-can arbitration treaty, negotiations for a renewal of which are now under way at Washington. The newspaper states that this plan is strongly supported by the General Staff and a section of the Privy Council, who insist on Japan's right to exclude the question of general Asian relations, including Australia, from the scope of the pact, since the United States, under the Monroe Doctrine, excludes LatinAmerican relations. Such a plan, if carried out, might have the greatest influence in the future of the whole of the Pacific area, since it would bq practically equivalent to a declaration of a Japanese Monroe Doctrine for Asia and Australia and New Zealand so far as the United States is concerned.—London ‘Times ’ Cable.
