The reply given yesterday in the House
of Commons by the Parliamentary Secre-
tary for Foreign Affairs. Mr. Curzon, to
the question about Hawaii put by MEM
Der, was couched in the neatest of diplo-
matte language. 1t contained no buster
no threat, no promise of action, but merely
reserved to the British government the
privilege of demanding recognition by the
United States of all of Engiand's acquired
rights in Hawaii. Against such a PROPOSE
ton. thus expressed, there can be no protest
ests in Hawaii, valuable holdings and large
commercial establishments. 1t is probably
to these that Mr.. CurZon refers when he
speaks of rights that belong to Great
Britain and British subjects. The con-
trast between This attitude and that of
Japan Is noteworthy, ard is somewhat
symbolic of the two nations. England
unsurInoentable reasons why Hawaii
should become part of the United States,
and gives credence to the sentiment that
has bound the two republics together for
many years Japan plays a losing game In
seeking to capture the islands by the trick
of inning alton and flies into fury when the
game is spoiled by the intervention of the
strong hand of the United States. Mr. Cur
IONS reply indicates that England has had
enough experience with large powers-es-
pecially this one-to know when to fall in
with the procession and when to get out of
step.
