Principle of Arbitration
is Accepted
But With Certain Limitations
in Her Favor.
Hawaii Very Likely to Insist Upon
Some Amendment.

Honolulu, Hawaii. tAug. 10 Minister
Shimamura has laid before the Hawaiian
government the communication from
Japan. in which tho principle of arbitra-
tion Is accepted. So far as the Hawaiian
government has annlyzed the formal prop
osition of the Japanese government it
seems TO be taken as a limited or condi-
tional acceptance of the original sugges-
ton of arbitration.
Japan wants the arbitration to cover
the whole broad question of Hawaii's g
right to limit the immigration of japanese
subjects. It would have the arbitrator
interpret the treaty obligations OF Hawaii,
and having settled that point, pass on
her right to enact and enforce laws which
seem to be an infraction of the treaty.
This is statement in general terms but
it will be found correct.
japan. furthermore, includes the prin-
ciple OF indemn niilcation, but does not pre-
sent any specific claim on behalf of the
immigrants who were refused permission
TO Honolulu.
1t can safely be taken Cor granted that
Hawaii will not acQuiesco in the arbitra-
tlOn OF ITODOshl ihlu uIWn Dy Japan.
There will be no blunt refusal Instead,
the diplomatic correspondence will go
forward onsthe theory that Hawaii hav-
ing first suggested arbitration, it Is to
be had, but on q different basis from that
which Japan il following. A counter
suggestion will be made that Japan set
forth specifically the damages she claims
TO have suffered. and that tho arbitration
pass on these claims. The gist of the
Hawaiian objection is to .JaDan = propOsi.
tion that it,would let third party de-
termine Hawaii's sovereignty.
Ii Gn arbitrator should hold that Japan
has treaty rights under which its ubjeots
can come into Hawaii in the face Of
governmental opposition, the result
would be easy 10 foresee. Thore would be-
no means OF preventing the colonization
of the islands. and the Japanese could
pour in by the thousands.
If annexation should fail. then the
Hawaiian government would have no
means TO stave off very long the Japanese
control of the islands through actual
pieponderauce in numbers IL annexation
should come, n decision in advance of it
by arbitration that the existing govern
nent had no power to shut off the imni-
grafton OF japanese. would add To the
diiliculties of the United states i'm incor-
porating the islapds 1t would also
strengthen rho grounds on which Japan
protests against annexation.
SO the Hawaiian government is deter.
II ined that, whatever happens, the arhitra-
tion shall not he permitted To take shape
where n Judgment could be given which
would seem 10 put Limitation on it's
rights of sovereignty. Interest i'm the
situation is heightened by the tone of
.Iapan's communication. Ii seems To be
in tho nature of an arbitration ulti-
ma,um.
