LONDON July 8 (Canadian Press) (By A P) In view of Premier Lloyd statement in the Brit ish House of Commons concerning a proposed International conference re garding which replies from Japan and the United States were anxiously awaited there can be no harm in stating that the original proposal for such a conference came from the Ca nadian government early in ebruary last officials said today It was then suggested that the Dominion govern ment through the department of ex ternal affairs be empowered to con sult with Washington to sound it out so to on the possibility of a pacific conference The proposal does not appear to accepted at the time How ever the idea steadily grew and when at the beginning of the conference Premier Meighen of Canada and Pre mier Smuts of South Africa advocated tach a gathering as a substitute for an Anglo Japanese alliance they met with almost unanimous support Alliance Is Block What the replies of Japan and the United States may be nobody here pretends to know It is felt however that in so far as the United States is concerned there could be a great chance of its response being more fa vorable if the Anglo Japanese alliance had been denounced Should it be found that the continued existence of the alliance was standing in the way of a conference then it is certain that some of the Dominion premiers will press for the necessary twelve notice of denunciation being given at once Meanwhile the British press makes no attempt to disguise the fact that it regards the situation as one of vastest moment involving as It does the whole future of
