of statecraft dwlnrp that the AVtlaon
artmlnlatratlon has neefllaaaly, not to
saw stupidly, walked into a trap In
the lontrmersy with Japan over the
California alien land law.
In It* reply to Great Britain's Pan
ama Canal tolls protest, this Gov
ernment laid down the principle that (
until ntt'overi act had been commit - ’
trd aftnlnet the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty, Gloat Britain would have no
standln* in court; In other words,
that Great Britain's urlevanca would
become a matter for diplomatic ad
justment only after an Amarlean ship
had actually passed thmnstfi the ca
nal free. This statement cleared the
atmqephera and left Orent Britain no
reasonable grounds for continuing j
the debate.
The same prinripte applies In the
controversy with Japan.
The ob' lous reply of Secretary of j
State Brawn to the first Japanese j
protest, In view of the attitude as-
tfmmfl toward Great Britain, waa to
state that the treaty with Japan had
not been violated, and, therefore,
there w«* no matter for eontentlnn
between the two governments until
after some Japanese subject In foll-
fomln had been aggrieved by the
operation of some California law.
But Instead of adopting this logi
cal onrsc, It was pointed out here
to-riav the Wilson administration
floundered about In the diplomatic
puddle, and, denying that the maty
of 1911 had been violated, invited
further negotiation*, thus giving the ;
Japanese Ambassador an excellent
opportunity to quote the Stale Be- !
pnrtment against itself, where the
very same principle Is Involved.
As the matter Is now, Instead of 1
making a Hem stand on precedent
and silencing the Japanese protest ;
as the British protest wns silenced
the Wilson administration has pro
moted bickering between the two na
tions, Japan and the United States, j
and Is in the ridiculous position of
holding two diametrically opposite
policies In relation to Identically the |
game problem, if the American po- j
xjtlon Is right in regard to the Pana
ma t'anol protest. It Is wrong In re- -
garri to the Japanese protest, and
vice versa.
II Is the expectation here that
Japan will take instant advantage
of th* Inconsistency and incongruity
of the position of the United Stales.
