Favored By England.
LONDON. Juno 20 (By Associat
ed Press.) Co-operation with the
United States Is " a cardinal princi
ple" with Groat Britian, declared
Prime Minister Lloyd George to the
imperial conference today.
"We are ready." he said, " to dis
cuss with American statesmen any
proposal for limitation of armament
which they wish to set out and we
can amdertake that no 'such over
tures will find lack of willingness on
our part to meet them."
"In the moantlmo," concluded the
promlor, "we cannot forget that tho
life of the United Kingdom, as also
of Australia and Now Zealand, and in
deed of tho whole empire, has been
built upon sea power and that sea
power is necessarily tho basis of the
whole empire's existence. We have,
therefore, to look to measures which
our security requires. We aim at
nothing more; we cannot possibly be
contont with less."
Ho made this statement In his ad
dress opening the sessions of the con
ference of tho empire's prime minis
tors. He referred to tho Anglo-Japanese
agreement, as "one of the most
urgent and most Important ques
tions," before the empire. ,
"There is no quarter of tho world
where we dosire more greatly to
maintain peace .and fair play for all
nations and avoid competition in ar
maments than tho Pacific nnd tho Far
East," ho said.
Japan Faithful Ally.
Discussing Anglo-Jnpaneso rela
tions ns affecting the rcnowal of the
agreement tho prime minister said
Japan was a "faithful ally," and
Groat Britain would not caBily forget
the valuable, assistance rendered by
Japanese men of war.
"We desire to prosorvo that well
tried friendship which has stood us
both in good stead," ho continued,
"and to apply it to the solution of all
questions in tho Far East, where Ja
pan has special Interests, and where
wo ourselves, like tho United States
doslro equal opportunities and tho
open door.
"Not the least among those ques
tions is tho future of China, which
looks to us as to tho United States for
sympathetic treatment and fair play.

wished to "work with the great re
public in all parts of the world." He
contlnuod:
, "Like it, wo desire to avoid the
growth of armaments, whether in the
racific or elsewhere and we rejoice
that American opinion should bo
showing so much earnestness in that
direction at tho present time."
With reference to tho decision of
Canada to have a minister in Wash

said:
"We have co-operated willingly
with that, and we shall welcome a
