NEW UNDERSTANDING.
.*. NECESSITY FOR TREATY. EMPIRE VULNERABILITY. A. and N.Z. WASHINGTON. Dec. 1. Mr. 11. G. Wells writes: " The AngloJapanese Alliance could be ended in favour of a new peace 'pact, and an asso- , ciation of nations, and an enormous step | forward to world peace would be made. It would mark an epoch in world statesmanship, but this means an agreement in the nature of a treaty. Merely a j Presidential declaration which some later j President might set aside or newly--1 elected Senate revise is not enough. I "If the reader will Btudy the position lof Australia and British commitments : in Eastern Asia he will see why it is I not enough. Britain is not 6trong | enough to risk being left alone as the ' chivalrous protector of a weak, if ren--1 ascent, China. She has her own people in Australia to consider. It is moral ias well as material help in sustaining j the new understanding that the British will require.'" ■ ,
