The Japanese Alliance

Considering All Views

London, June 24.

In the House of Commons this afternoon, replying to Mr. Canyon Bellairs, Mr. Lloyd George said that the question of the renewal of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance was being considered. The Government Were not aware of a feeling thas the alliance should not be renewed until the Government knew the views of the new Government which would come into power in the United States in March. The Government were not in a position to make a public statement at present. It had not been decided whether to give notice in July of termination of the agreement, or to allow it to continue for anther year.

Sir Harry Britain: "Will the views of China be taken into ae count?

Mr. Lloyd George: ''All relevant views will be taken into account."
