...looks as if Uncle Sam is holding the bag again, and Britain slips around to Japan. British diplomacy has a beautiful way of just not being there where you really expect her sometimes. Just before the London Naval Parleys opened up, the Anglo-Saxons gave us quite definitely the impression that they were in sympathetic accord with the American conviction at the coming Parley.
