ANGLO-JAPANESE
! TREATY OPPOSED
1 10 LEAGUE PLAN
"
London, Aug. 27—A joint
declaration of the British
and Japanese governments
that the Anglo-Japanese
treaty, which was recently
permitted automatically to
renew itself for another year,
is “in harmony with the spir
it of the covenant of the
League of Nations" is chal
lenged editorially by The
Manchester Guardian. It is
assailed as "a typical exam
ple of those partial and ex
clusive agreements between
particular powers which the
League of Nations was de
signed to supercede".
The Guardian says: “Some
people may be skeptical re
garding the latest Anglo-Jap
anese note, but it is a most
interesting and may be an
extremely important docu
ment The present Anglo
Japanese treaty dates from
1911, and will run, in the
normal course, till July, 1921.
But the foreign offices of the
two nations have remember
ed the covenant of the
League of Nations. They
point out that the treaty, al
though in harmony with the
spirit of the covenant of the
League of Nations, is not
entirely consistent with the
'letter, and they add that, if
renewed next year, if must
be in a form which is not in
consistent with the cove
nant'.
"There is only one weak
ness about this statement,
and that is that its opening
proposition is entirely inac
curate. The Anglo-Japane.se
treaty in all its forms has al
ways been entirely out of
harmony with th£ spirit of
the covenant. It is a typical
example of those partial and
exclusive agreements b e
tween particular powers
'which the League of Nations
was designed to supercede.
It pledges each of the con
tracting parties to make war
if "by reason of unprovoked
attack or aggressive action”
the other finds its “territor
ial rights or special interests”
threatened in Western Asia
or India.
"The covenant, of course,
provides an elaborate ma
chinery by which the league
will deal with such contin
gencies and bring its collec
tive powers to bear on the
offender, whether he is or is
not himself among the mem
bers. The Anglo-Japanese
treaty will need remodelling
from top to bottom in order
to make it consistent with
the covenant. It will presum
ably be done by each power
undertaking formally to go
to war in support of the oth
er after the league has defi
nitely pronounced against an
aggressor and ordered the
enforcement of all the puni
tive measures contemplated
in Article 16 of the covenant,
which include military force
but do not impose its use as
an absolute obligation on all
the members.
“There would then be pro
tection of the league between
us and war, and the obliga
tions thrown on us by the
treaty would be very differ
ent .from what they are at
present”.

COL DICK SAYS !
NORTH STARTING
; TO RECOVER NOW
A profit-sharing bonus for
miners of low grade ore.
A substantial compensa
tion for riilors of Alaskan
soil.
1 The establishment of a net
work of roads throughout
the territory.
In these proposals Colonel
Wilds P. Richardson sees the
solution of Alaska’s econom
ic problems and the develop
ment of the territory by
normal growth. The officer,
veteran of Siberian service
and former resident of the
North for a score of years,
so expressed himself to a rep
resentative of the Cordova
Times on the occasion of his
recent visit to the Alaska
coast to meet Major General
Liggett Hunter. i
“Alaska is now recovering
from a setback brought on
by the war,” the colonel ex
plained. “and with the com-1
pletion of the proposed roads
and a normal healthy settle
ment of the country, it will;
!soon take its place among
the front rank of American
possessions. Alaska must be
peopled by homefinders who
come here after sober thot
with intent to do their part
in the development of re
sources and for the purpose;
of building homes.” The col-1
onel expressed himself as op-;
posed to any proposal for the |
wholesale importation of set-!
tiers to the territory. !
Compensation for farmers
in Alaska is an idea which!
the colonel hopes to see raa-j
terialize. “The development!
of Alaska’s soil will demand!
hard work and determina-l
tion,’’ declared the oldtimer,;
“and those who enter that:
field should be rewarded by
something more substantial
than a mere loan, such as is |
provided for in some north
western states.
“A profit-sharing bonus
for miners of low grade ore!
is another proposition which j
I hope to see favorable ac-J
tion on. Dividends derived j
will give great stimulus to •
low-grade gold production in|
Alaska.”
Colonel Richardson em-j
phasized the need of roads.
He intimated that the con
struction of additional high
ways through the North
would be one of the results
of the inspection tour of the
Liggett party.
The colonel entered a plea
for the toleration of capital*
which brings about develop
ment. "Some legitimate pro-;
fit is bound to result in all
work in a new country,” he
said, “and capital is essen-'
tial.”
Colonel Richardson is op
timistic as to the future of
Alaska. Stability in enter
prise, he said, will insure suc
cess. And at this point the
colonel recalled a conversa
tion he had once had with *
Theodore Roosevelt, who, he
said, declared that what the
territory needed was stability
and continuous enterprise,
in addition to rushes and
sectional booms.
“Development of the ter
ritory,” the cplonel conclud
ed, “was halted after the big
rush.of 1897 by the Spanish
American war. Then it was
further delayed by the Ne
vada rush, which attracted i
the miners who would have i
made Alaska their home, i
And the last setback was ;
caused by the recent world I
war.” But now, the colonel I
believes, the territory is on
the road to stability and eco
nomic development.
