IN THE PACIFIC.
JAPAN’S MONROE DOCTRINE NEGOTIATIONS WITH AMERICA. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph Copyright.) (“Times” Cables.) TOKIO, Aug. 9. The usually reliable newspaper Hochiisbimbun understands that Japan is considering a plan to ask the United States to exclude Chinese relations from the scope of the Japanese-Ame rican arbitration treaty, negotiations for the renewal of which are now under way at Washington. . The newspaper states, that the plan is strongly supported by the general staff and a section of the Privy Council, which insists on Japan’s right to exclude general Asian relations, including Australia, from the scope of the pact, wince the United States under the •Monroe Doctrine excludes Latin American relations.
Such a plan, if carried out, might have the greatest influence on the future of the whole Pacific area, since it would be practically equivalent to the declaration by the Japanese of a Monroe Doctrine for Asia and Australasia so far as the United States is concerned.
