AUSTRALIA AND JAP TREATY. >,By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.! ,Au3..-.N.Z. Cable Association.) London, June 14. Mr Theodore, in an article in the Review of ißeviews, -entitled "The case against the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, says: "The story of Japan's faithfulness to the Allies has been praised from every platform, but who has put the other side or told of the quid pro quo which she demanded, or Avorse still, her actual -ultimatum to Australia Avliile the war was in progress?" Mr Theodore adds: "The people of Australia are not prepared for a renewal of the Treaty, except . iv a considerable , modified form. Japan is reaping all the benefits of the present Alliance. Australians, rightly or wrongly, feel that Japanese penetration in the Pacific Islands is a potential danger, which will not be minimised by the Japanese mandate over certain* islands. Australia's democratic sentiment is outraged by the injustice-of the Japanese treatment of' China. Can Britain righteously renCAv a treaty, admittins; of the spoliation of the Chinese?"
