The Only Terms for Renewal London, May 25.
A leading article in the 'Morning Post'? to-day, dealing with the question of the renewal of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, says the proposal of Mr. Hughes appears to be the only right solution of the problem.
It points out that Sino-Japanese relations must be considered together with the relations of Japan to the Western Powers. If these are amicably settled upon a durable foundation, the peace of the Pacific would be secured.
The article suggests a conference of representatives of the British Empire, the United States, France, China and Japan, and expresses the hope that all parties will accept the principles of the "open door," and the strict maintenance of the integrity of China.—Reuter.
