AFTER THE WAR.

JAPAN AND AUSTRALIA. THE “WHITE AUSTRALIA” POLICY. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received This Day, 11 a.m.) NEW YORK, August 1. The “New York Tribune’s” Washington correspondent and other papers quote an article by M. Woneda, a Japanese Parliamentarian, in tlie magazine “Taiyo,” wherein he says: —‘ ‘ The war has brought the relations of Japan and Australia into friendlier connection, but it is doubtful whether they will be cordially maintained after the war. Prior to the war Australia regarded the Japanese as the destroyers of ‘White Australia,’ which is a ridiculous misconception. The Australians made a condition with the British Admiralty for leaving the patrol of the Pacific to the Japanese. It appears probable that the Australians’ anti-Japanese policy will seriously affect the Anglo-Japanese alliance when the rights of the colonies in framing British diplomacy are more fully established.”
