BRITAIN, AMERICA, AND JAPAN.

[To THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR."] .

SIR,—For some weeks your articles have shown an increasing tendency to be less than fair to our ally Japan in your desire to strengthen the friendly feeling between this country and the United States. In the note to Mr. Marston's letter in your issue of August 13th you ignore the point of his argument. If Japan had not been on the side of the Allies in the late war not one American ship or regiment would have crossed the Atlantic.—I am, Sir, &c., C. E. GEDDES. 17 Grosvenor Road, Bournemouth.
