JAPAN AND BRITAIN.
♦ NO DECEPTION IN TREATY. i PRESS ALLEGATIONS REFUTED , ' Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. , I (Becd. 1.15 am.) TOKIO. Feb. 6. » ! The Foreign Office states that Japan j ; did not object to Britain's refusal to be -1 bound by the terms of the Anglo-Japanese s! Alliance to co-operate against the United i\ States, as Japan did not contemplate . hostility *f» the United States. Japan j willingly would enter a triple alliance bei tween Britain, the United States, and j Japan, but the United States refuses such !an alliance. Japan therefore makes the British alliance and a rapprochement with the United States the guiding principles of her policy. The Foreign Office stigmatises as false the newspaper assertion that Japan had been deceived for Beven years ' because she was relying on British support I against the United States.
