TALK OF ALLIANCE
JAPAN AND AMERICA. ON DISARMAMENT PROPOSALS. NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. Received 12.40 p.m. to-dav. WASHINGTON, June 23. Government officials refuse to take seriously reports appearing in the Geneva press of a possible AmericanJapanese alliance. Officials point out that the American policy opposes all foreign alliances; moreover, the United States Government is seeking a naval treaty with both Japan and Britain, not a political understanding with one of them Other Geneva reports of serious disagreement between Britain and [the United States regarding limitation proposals are not supported by Mr. Gibson’s advices. Meantime, reports from Tokio declare that Admiral Saito will seek to offset the disadvantages of the unfavourable ratio by proposing that America, Britain, and Japan shall conclude a tripartite security agreement. It is believed possible that Admiral Saito’s instructions empower him to produce such a. proposal if and when lie thinks fit.
