Dispatches reaching Mexico City last night said the Sacramento and Cleveland again were anchored at the mouth of the Panuci river, and, although no . planation was given for their return, it was presumed the vessels withdrew to the high seas for 24 hours, in or- der to avoid the technicalities of in- ternational law and then returned to Tampico. . It is considered not improbable the vessels will continue this maneuver unl the situation clears.

The matter was re- ferred ‘0 the lord chancellor, the prime minister declared, who held that no notice had yet been given and that the treaty, therefore, remained in force until denounced. It was, however, Lloyd. George said, the de- sire of both parties that the agree: ment be brought into complete har- mony with the covenant of the league of nations. “When I told the house last Thurs- day, I hoped to be in a position to make a statement on the Pacific and Far Eastern question today,” the prime minister declared. “I was wait- ing as I expected replies. to a.con- versation that had taken place be- tween Lord Curzon and representa- tives of the governments of the United States and China as a result of discussions in the imperial cabinet. “I am very glad to be able to in- form the house that the views of the government of the United States, which reached me last night, are ex- tremely satisfactory.

Iam very glad to be at lib- erty to inform the house fully regard- ing the course which the discussion imperial cabinet took. I do be- cause it will show how very valuable ja step forward we have been able to take, Ly common consent, in the sphere of foreign affairs. “The broad lines of the imperial policy in the Pacific and the Far East was ‘the very first subject to which we addressed ourselves, having special regard to the AngloJapanese agreeinent, the future of China and the bearing of both these questions on the relations of the British empire with the United States. We were Guided in-our deliberations by three main considerations. “In Japan we have an old and proved ally.

In China we have ‘@ very numerous people of great - po- tentialities"whoesteem our friendship higtiy, and whose interests we desire to assist and advance.” This statement of the prime minis- ter elicited cheers fron}. the house. “In the United States we see today, as we have always seen, the people closest. to..our, uims.and_ ideals,” the prime minister continued, “and with whom it is for us not only a. desire and an interest, but a deeply rooted instinct, to consuit, and to co-operate.” There was renewed cheering from the house at this point, Mr. Lloyd George went on: “These were the main considera tions in our minds and mye them we were unanimous, g'he objectwpf our discussions was to tina a method of combining ‘all these three factors in a polity that would remove the den- ger of a heavy naval’ expenditure in the Pacific, with all the evils that such -expenditure gvould entail and that would ensure the development of all legitimate national interests in the far east. “We had first to ascertain our exact position in regard to the AngloJapa- nese agreement. There had been much doubt as to whether the notification to the league of nations last July eqn- stituted denunciation of the agree- ment. “If it did it would be’ necessary to decide on some interim meastres re- garding the agreement, pending fuller discussion with the> Pacific powers, and negotiations with this object in view already are in’ progress. “If on the other hand it did not, the agreement would remiain in force until it was denounced either by Japan or ourselves and would not be exactly determined until 12 mnths from the date on which notice of denunciation was given. We also desire, as I have stated, to maintain our close friendship and co-operation with Japan. ‘The greatest merit of that most valuable friendship is that it harmonizes the influences and activities of the two greatest Asintic powers and thus constitutes an essential safeguard to. the well-being of the British empire and peace of the east. “We also aim at preserving the open door in China and at giving the Chi- nese people every opportunity for Peaceful progress and development. “In addition to those considerations we desire to safeguard our own vital interests in the Pacific and preclude any competition in naval. armaments between the Pacific powers. “All the representatives of the em-| pire agreed that our standpoint on| these questions should be communi-} cated with complete frankness to the United States, Japan and China with) the object of securing an exchange of views which might lead to more for-| mal discussions and a conference.| Lord Curzon, accordingly, held con- versations last week with the Ameri- can and Japanese ambassadors and Pulpit “Iced,” Congregation Is Kept Cool EAST ST.
