The proposed undertaking is de- signed to do away with the Anglo- Japanese alliance anf proposals have! gone to Japan for renunciation of that alliance if the new agréement should be consumated. As now under negotiation the agree- ment is*to be limited to the Pacific islands. Under the tentative proposals each of the powers would agree to con- sult each other before going to war, on any differences that might arise or relating to the islands. ‘The agreement, American officials said, would not deal with fortifications in the Pacific nor with questions rela- tive to the island of Yap. either would it deal with any matters affect- ing China but only those relating to islands of the Pacific. The questions at issue between the United States and Japan relating to cable facilities and other matters af- fecting the island of Yap are to be dealt with in a separate treaty which was said to be near completion. ‘The proposed four-power agreement to deal with Pacific islands is said to have already been given approval in principle by British representatives, at the Washington conference. The substance of the proposed treaty also, it was said, has been cabled to Tokio and Paris.

The opinion in American quarters was hopeful for final negotiations of the new treaty. ‘The American delegates had another meeting early today and it was report- ed discussed at length the situation relating to the four-power agreement. This, it was said, was regarded in American quarters as a sepaate pro- ceeding from the American proposals for limitation of naval armament but it was expected that an accord on both the Pacific islands treaty and the waval program might be reached al- most simultaneously.

European Art “Is Dumped on United States NEW YORK, Dec. 7.—By Associated Press.\—Hard times Europe have resulted in the dump- ing of literally “thousands” of oil paintings and other works of art into the American market, the ma- jority of which have proved to be fakes or copies of masterpieces in the opinion of Gustavius T. Kirby, of the American art gallery. Many of these “originals” were thought genuine by their European owners, who had inherited them and had never had occasion to examine them until the war took away their wealth. American homes of tomorrow will be far more artistic and livable than were those of yesterday, Mr. Kirby believes, for there is a de- cided swing to the purchase of tap- estries and other art works for util- itarain purposes rather than merely for art's sake. The in PARLIAMENT CALLED | TO RATIFY IRISH PACT LONDON, Dec. 7.—(By The Associated Press.) King George came to London from Sandringham today to preside at a meeting of the privy council and sign a proclamation) calling a special session of parliament for Wednesday next to consider the momentous , agreement reached yesterday for the establishment of the Irish free state.- fe] Should the agreement be approved, of which little doubt is entertained, the session will last only a few days and the parliament will adjourn until the regular session in Feb-! ruary when a bill embodying agreement will be dealt with. The king is expected to open the special session in person, in which case the céremony will assume the dignity and magnificence of a regular opening, of parliament. Arthur Griffith, Michael Collins and the other representatives of the Dall Eireann still in London will leave for Dublin tonight. While the chief figures in effecting the settlement are receiving praise for the achievement, the men who worked out the details of the agree- ment are still hard at work. Of these men, A. W.
