TRAP IN
J
Abandons Course Used Success
fully With England—Orientals
to Grasp Opportunity.
WASHINGTON. May 17 — Student*
of statecraft declare that the Wilson
Hdmtnlatratlon ha* needlessly, not to
savr stupidly, walked Into a trap In
the controversy with Japan over the
California alien land law.
In Its reply to Great Britain's Pan
ama Canal tolls protest, this Gov
ernment laid down the principle that
until an overt art had been commit
ted against the Hay-P*uncefote
treaty. Great Britain would have no
standing In court; In other words,
that Great Britain’s grievance would
become a matter for diplomatic ad
justment only after an American ship
had actually, passed through the ca
nal free. This statement cleared the
atmosphere and left Great Britain no
reasonable grounds for continuing
the debate.
The same principle applies In the
controversy with Japan.
The obvious reply of Secretary «»f
State Bryan to the first Japanese
protest* in view of the attitude as
sumed toward Great Britain, was to
state that the treaty with Japan had
not been violated, and. therefore,
there was no matter for contention
between the two governments until
after some Japanese subject In Cali
fornia had been aggrieved by the
operation of some California law.
But Instead of adopting this logl
cal course, It was pointed out here
to-day the Wilson administration
floundered about in the diplomatic
puddle, and* denying that the treaty
of 1911 had been violated, invited
further negotiations, thus giving the
Japanese Ambassador an excellent
opportunity to quote the State De
partment against itself, where the
very same principle Is Involved.
As the matter Is now, Instead of
making a firm stand on precedent
and silencing the Japanese protest
as the British protest was silenced,
the Wilson administration has pro
moted bickering between the two na
tions. Japan and the United States,
and is in the ridiculous position <»f
holding two diametrically opposite
policies In relation to identically the
same problem. If the American po
sition is right in regard to the Pana
ma (’anal protest, it 1s wrong In r«
gsrd to the Japanese protest, and
vice versa
It Is the expectation here that
Japan will take instant advantage
of the inconsistency and incongruity
of the position of the United States.
