4, THE MORNING . OREGONIAN. WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 18, 1920 JMES E ALLIANCE AROUSES DOIvliOi Lloyd George to Confer With Canadian Pryniers. LEAGUE ASKED TO ACT statement by Premier Lloyd George In the house of commons yesterday rela tive to settlement of "the Irish ques tion. Newspaper discussions center variously upon the three stipulations specified by the premier as a basis to consider settlement. Separate treatment for the six counties of northern Ulster; no se-cesslon-of any part of Ireland from the United Kingdom, and no agree ment involving any detraction from the security of the British isles or of their afety in case of war. The Freeman's Journal, which has advocated dominion home rule, sug gests as a reply a "financial and com mercial boycott of that part of Ulster which is causing all the trouble." Tlue Independent says the premier's English Prime Minister to, Be In vited to America for Confer ence With Wilson.' BY CHARLES MICH ELSON. WASHINGTON, Aug. 1". (Special.) Premier Lloyd-George will cross the. Atlantic in October 'to meet.. the premiers of all the British dominions on the Pacific for a conference, on the renewal of the Anglo-Japanese alliance. This conference will prob ably be held in Vancouver. During his stay in Canada the Brit, lsh prime minister will be Invited to Washington. There are Innumer able questions which this country and England are both interested in, and besides the Japanese situation, and a faoa to face conference with the president or secretary of state or both, might be expected to accomplish in an hour what may take weeks f diplomatic changes to effect. The conference is said to be the re emit of an interpellation' made during Lloyd George's presentation to par liament of the renewal of the treaty. - Canadian Laws Drastic Australia, New Zealand and the western provinces of Canada are as much worked, up over the Japanese Infiltration as is California and for tiie same reason. Some of the Canadian laws are even snore drastic! than the California tatute barring orientals from holding r leasing agricultural land,' which Is causing so much concern both here and In Tokio. ' The Australians, more over, are exercised over the mandates Japan has for'the former German isl ands, north of the equator, which were put in her charge by the treaty f Versailles. The mandate committee has not yet clearly defined the powers and privi leges of mandate power. Officially, this country has no In formation about the coming confer ence. Unofficially, it is known that, because of the identity of interest of the western states with British do minions in the Japanese question, these states were to be invited to nave an observer present at the ses sions. Similarly the Japanese have been advised of the premier's sentiment. ' Question Submitted to League. The renewal of the Anglo-Japanese pact has been submitted tf the league of nations by the contracting nations, with the statement that some o. Its provisions did not conform to the league rules for treaties, and with a request that the league suggest such modifications as would - bring it within the bounds. So far no reply has come from the league. The Anglo-Japanese agree merit, by its terms, will expire July 13, 1921, unless renewed, but con tinues in full force and effect for one year after that date, in the event either party should, meanwhile, de nounce it. Inasmuch as the United States is not a member of the league of na tions, the state department has nc direct means of keeping track of matters coming before the new world body, but is kept fairly well informed through diplomatic channels. Up to date, no information has been received which indicates that the league has given formal consideration to -the Anclo-Japanese agreement. PAXTAGES CIRCUIT KAVOR ITK WILL GROW PORT LAND ROSES.
