JAPAN AND U.S.A.

PROPOSED COMPACT. OTHER POWERS AFFECTED. PRESS VIEWS DIFFER^ LONDON, March 22. Notes published in Washington and Tokio, suggesting a rapprochement, have attracted attention in London. The diplomatic correspondent of the “Daily Telegraph” says certain outstanding differences, for instance, naval strengths and the status of Mam chukuo, vitally concern other powers. If America’s policy of non-recognition of Manchukuo is to be reversed in return for trade facilities, the Committee of the League of Nations should bo informed, so that the'ban on Manchukuo may be rescinded and facilities be afforded to other states. The “Morning Post” welcomes the reported understanding. It says Mr Roosevelt has laid the bogey which has superfluously disturbed the peace on the Californian coast. The United States would gain an assurance ot peace, also, no doubt, of trade. Japan would be relieved of her sense of isolation and injury, which might have worked as an irritant poison in the Pacific. ‘
