JAPAN AND UNITED STATES
TREATY RENEWAL NEGOTIATIONS
NEW MONROE DOCTRINE
United Press Association—By Electrio Telegraph—Copyright "Timeß" Cables. TOKIO, 10th August, The usually reliable "Hochi Shimbun" understands that Japan is considering a plan to ask the United States to exclude China relations from the scope of the Japanese-American 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, who insist on Japan's right to exclude general Asiatic relations, including Australia, from the scope of the Pact, since 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 of a Japanese Monroe Doctrine for Asia and Australasia, so far as the United Stales is concerned.
