...most important feature of the Treaty in the eyes of Senator Lodge--one which Senator Reed confessed yesterday he had "overlooked"--is the provision which terminates the Anglo-Japanese Alliance when ratifications of this Treaty are-exchanged.

President Harding is to be commended in emphasizing the importance of the Far Eastern question, and it is significant that he attacks this problem with much greater boldness. He comes out definitely for the open door in China and the abolition of the Anglo-Japanese alliance...
