TOKIO, May 30. The Japanese Premier declared that the Anglo-Japanese AHiancd was more than ever necessary, in view of the after-war conditions of the world, especially the Orient. Danger threatened China, Siberia, and India, particularly the latter. With the Bolsheviks threatening, the borders, the knowledge that Japan would not interfere in India whatever happened would greatly encourage the Reds. The League of Nations was not solid enough to safeguard the world. This was shown through the Anglo-French Alliance and the present refusal of America, to ratify the Peace Treaty. The contracting parties were not alone interested. America was vitally concerned in Oriental peace, and would be Avelcomed into the Alliance, making it of triple efficiency, and guaranteeing peace. Japan had played a significant part in guarding the Pacific transport routes and frustrating German designs in Russia. She was a constant and faithful Ally.
