Written for The United Press. Washington, Dec. 12. The United States has won a remarkable diplo matic success by securing the abroga tion of the Anglo-Japanese treaty in e.xchango for a four-power Pacific agree ment that is also favorable to Ameri can interests. The announcement of the abandon ment of the alliance between Great Britain and Japan at Saturday's plen ary session of the disarmament con ference marks a turning point in mod ern diplomacy. It is a recognition of the right of an outside nation to object to a treaty which is considered ...wu j ii no interests, rnat 1 is a new principle in foreign rela tions. I Hitherto, objectionable treaties have led to the formation of counter alli ances. Since the beginning of history that has been the theory of state craft. It is the basic principle of Europe's balance of , power. It has caused innumerable wars. It was fun damentallyj the clash of two opposing alliances that involved all the leading nations in the world war. The four-power agreement creates a common group instead of setting up competing alliances. The balance of p-wer principle is rejected. The United States has led the other nations into a new path of peace. The Pacific Ocean is not to witness the dangerous juggling, the poise and counterpoise of rival statesmen such as Europe has known for too many centuries. No act in the history of diplomacy is more promising than that. The diplomats of, America have often been ridiculed because of their lack of knowledge of European statecraft. That very ignorance is responsible for the victory of peace in the Pacific. The American delegates to the Dis armament Conference think away from alliances, not into them. Had it been otherwise, the present quadruple understanding would not havy been made. By European prece dents, Amerfta ought to have recog nized the selfish possibilities of a balance of power. France had this in mind for some time and would have agreed to become America's ally in opposition to the Anglo-Japanese treaty. But the ignorance of President Harding and Mr. Hughes has found a better way. The four-power treaty is far more innocent than the Anglo-Japanese alli ance. The latter was a war agree ment. The former is a peace agree ment. It does little more than recog nize the present territorial rights of the four power in the Pacific. That is to say, it applies to the Pacific the famous Article X, of the League of Nations covenant, which was one of th- major reasons why President TT.irv!- ii.-g's party in the Senate rejected thej covenant. There is no harm to America's interests in tin's matter, however much it may lead to ironic comment. There arc no disputed boundries in the Pacific Inlands and nothing in the treaty refers to the Chinese mainland. It is advantageous to America to have the new agreement so limited in its scope. The future is left to further conferences. No pledges binding Am erica to war in the agreement. Great Britain and Japan have given up a great deal more than America has promised to . perform. It- is apparent that the American negotiators have skilfully utilized the now widely known reluctance of the United States Senate to accept involved treaties. The other delegations have been convinced that the vagueness of the four-power agree ment was a necessary recommendation 101 us passage by the Senate. I The agreement cannot be accepted as a Far Eastern treaty. It really ends where the Far East begins. That ; is to say, it is confined to the Pacific islands. The great problems of the Far East are mainland problems. The American diplomats have seen to it , thus again that as little as possiole to i confuse the Senate has been given in I exchange for the abrogation of the Anglo-Japanese alliance. 1 JIMMY MURPHY WINS BY BREAKING RECORD i . ' San Francisco. Dec. 1 2. Jimmv Mm. s Phy, San Francisco pilot, set. a new ) world record here yesterday when he . won the 250-mile international sweep stakes automobile race at the San Carlos speedway, by making an aver age of 110 6-10 miles an hour. At times Murphy's speed was 113 miles an hour and he made the entire dis tance in 2 hours, 15 minutes and 11 1-2 seconds. Tommy Milton was second, Eddie Hearne, third, Harry Hartsei fourth, and Ralph DePalma, fifth. Mur phy was winner of the French grand prix last August. Tha old marV vrhinh was shattered yesterday, was 109 7-10 miles an hour and was set at the Los Angeles speedway last Thanksgiving day. Milton's second place will win for him the national speed championships for the year, officials announced, as he has enough points, with thosa won yesterday, to give him the laurels. De Palma's poor showing in the race was attributed to engine and tire troubles. Murphy's fastest lap, it was announced, was made in 39 4-5 seconds. The track is one and a quarter miles in circum ference. A satisfactory purchase every time you order a food article of us.

DENBY SUBMITS INITIALREPORT Makes No Recommendations Regarding the Naval Establishment. Washington, Dec. 12. Secretary Denby, in his first annual report, an nounces that he has "no recommenda tion to make at this time relative to the naval esablishment." A proposed future policy for the navy is embodied in the American proposal to the arms conference, but Mr. Denby omits anv reference to this. His only statement as regards the conference is a recog nition of "the arduous and excellent work" performed by the navy general board and individual naval officials in the preparation of. information prelim inaryto it. The naval budget for the next fiscil 'cai iureuuy nas oeen submitted to Congress. It is based upon the old policy of "a navy second to none" anl contemplates continuation of the con struction of nine battleships and six battle cruisers, which would be scrap, ped under the American proposal for the limitation of world naval forces. The total of the budget, $431,754,000, is $264,000,000 less than the original estimates, Mr. Denby 's report discloses, the reductions having been made as a result of conferences of naval offi cials and budget officers. In this connection, , Mr. Denby savs the depariment, "is fully alive to the demand of the country for economy, and in order that all persons connected with the naval establishment should realize their responsibility in the mat ter, orders have been issued to insure their fullest co-operation in preventing uneconomical use of naval supplies anil funds, eliminating waste, and securing Lne iuii vaiue or each dollars of the public money spent in the operation and maintenance of the navy." The naval secretary's report as well as those of the various bureau chiefs which accompany it is devoted to a re view of the work of the. navy during the last year. Some space is given to peace -ime activities, the secretary de claring that naval patrol detachments in Asiatic and Near Eastern waters "are constantly involved in preventing strife and protecting persons and in terests in case strife begins." Reporting to the President on the re sults of his visit to Haiti and Santo Domingo, Mr. Denby says that per sonally he has not the slightest doubt that the occupation of those countries by the marines is being carried on as well as possible and that he "is con vinced that it is being conducted kind ly and firmly." "I have no question." he adds, -"that our Government has brought benefit and rendered great service to the two Republics since their occupation by our forces. The constant and exaggeraed criicism of the naval administration renders the execution of our mission more difficult, and I hope we shall be free from this particular handicap in the near future." . Secretary Denby writes that since assuming office he has given close per sonal attention to the administration of justice in tho navy with a view ot minimizing injustice and reducing pun ishment and that in the near future recommendation's and modifications in the regulations go".rning this matter will be submitted "to carry out furth er the policy I have outlined above." Reporting on his visit to the Atlantic fleet, the secretary says, "it was grati f5Ting to note the fine condition of ma terial afloat find the high morale of the officers and men." He concludes his report by expressing "my admira tion for and my confidence in the com missioned and enlisted ranks of the Navy and Marine Corps, whose un swerving fidelity to duty merits the ap proval of their fellow countrymen They think first of country, then of the service, and last of self." maltILjouor clubs become plentiful Vancouver, B.
