JAPAN AND BRITAIN.
SEEN THROUGH AMERICAN SPECTACLES. BRYCE ON DISARMAMENT, HOPEFUL VIEW IN UNITED STATES. Bj Telegraph —Press A»sociatic<n—Copyright. “ The Times ” Service. ('Received October 19, 12.5 p.m.) LONDON, October 17. Lord Bryce, who recently returned from America, has contributed an article to “ The Times” on the Washington. Conference in which he says:— “ America, believes the prospects are for good, and it will be a severe disappointment if the Conference fails to reduce armaments. The cloud on the horizon is Japan. American opinion emphasises Japan’s military and naval progress. It is no use telling Americans that an A ngl ©-Japanese alliance cannot touch America. Nine out of ten Americans continue to repeat that England is Japan’s exclusive ally, which makes .Japan think that she is free to embark upon aggressive policies from which otherwise she would shrink. No explanations will remove this impression from American minds. Americans believe that if Britain, with her dominions, and France and America agree to reduce armaments. Japan will not venture to stand out.’*
