Mr Kellogg in Europe. WHAT TREATY MEANS. (United Service.) LONDON, August 23. Mr Kellogg (United States Secretary), replying to a civic welcome at Plymouth, said: “It is a great pleasure for met 0 come with the Prime Minister of Canada to sign th e Peace Treaty. The Treaty is not the work of any one man, or any one nation. It is the work of many mon and many nations. It springs from the heart of the people who are all longing for any step which may prevent another great calamity. I believe that this is a great moral step forward for civilisation. As far as Canada and ourselv-es are- concerned, we really have no need for this Treaty. W e have a Treaty written in the hearts of our people.” Mr Mackenzie King (Canadian Premier) said that he shared'Mr Kellogg’s sentiments. “I think,” he said, “the grea.t prosperity orf our respective countries is due in a great measure to the fact that we are not concerned with war. We never have been thinking in terms of war, but hav- accepted the normal relations of neighbours, and have done all we could to make them <is happy and friendly as possible.” THE NAVAL QUESTION. VANCOUVER, August 23. D daring it a master of business and not sentiment, Vice Admiral Fuller. commanding the North American West Indies Squadron, addressing the Canadian Club to-day, pleaded for “adequate support to .the Imperial Navy.” Referring to tin* movement of Canadian commerce on seaways of the world, he likened an adequate navy to insurance against fire. TOKIO, August 23. The leading vernacular newspapers support Japan’s approval of the naval proposals, hailing the Anglo-French movement as wise statesmanship, leading to an adjustment of ,the differences in international viewpoints, preparatory to a conference of the Powers wherein an honest endeavour should be made to relieve the burden of armaments, and ivtrieve the failure of the last Geneva Conference. Surprise is expressed at America’s reported distrust, which is unintelligible in view of the anti-war proposals.
