YELLOW PERIL.
AUSTRALIA AND JAP TREATY. [By Electric Cable —Copyright.] [Aust. and N.Z. Cable Association.] (Received Tuesday, 7.45 p.m.) v LONDON. June 14. Mr Theodore, in an article in the “Review of Reviews, entitled The case against the Anglo-Japanese Alhance~ r5 says: “The story of Japans 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 worse still, her actual ultimatum to Australia while the war was in progress?” Mr Theodore adds: ‘lhe people of Australia are not prepared for a renewal of the Treaty, except in a considerably 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 renew a treaty, admitting of the spoliation of the Chinese?”
