HAWAII ySD JAPAN
Since communicating the voluminous cor
respondence in regard to Hawaii and the
action taken by the Senate and House OF
keprns niailves on certain questions SUBJ
mitted 10 the judgment in wider cIscre-
non ol Congress, the organization OF a gov
ernment in place OF the provisional arrange
ment which followed the deposition OF the
Queen has been announced with evidence OF
ITS effective operation. Tho recognition
usual in such cases has been accorded tho
new Government.
Apart from the war In which the IslpnI
Empire Is engaged, Japan attracts incrals-
ing attention In this country by her evident
desire 10 cultivate moro liberal intercourse
with us and TO seek our kindly aid in further
ance OF her laudable desire for complete
autonomy IN her domestic affairs and full
equality in tho family OF Nations. The
Japanes Empire OF to-day is no longer tho
japan Of the past, and our relations wit
broad and liberal than those with 9TH,
powers.
