resident Japanese in the islands of rights
to which they are at present entitled
under the present treaty with Hawaii.
At present there are $4,000 Japanese in the
islands with large property rights and I'M
der the present conditions they are en-
titled to become citizens of Hawaii In
case of annexation these Japanese could
not become citizens of the United States
as the decisions Of United States circuit
courts are to the effect that no Asiatic can
become citizen of the United States By
annexation the Japanese now resident In
Hawaii would be subject to any measures
that might be adopted by the United States
They would lose the right to become citi-
zens and to vote, the large interests owned
by Japanese citizens in the islands would
be greatly jeopardized; therefore the Jap
anese government must firmly protest
against the proposed annexation.
Hawaiians in Washington insist that
the reason for the protest of Japan
against annexation is that Japan really
desires to acquire the islands herself.
The main point of contention between
japan and Hawaii over the treaty be-
tween the two countries, it is learned,
is as to the wording of the treaty which
Hawaii seeks to abrogate. This treaty
has provision shat it may be termi-
mated at any time by mutual consent"
This is continued by the japanese gov
eminent to mean that the treaty can
not be terminated without the consent
of both governments, and as long as
Japan insists upon keeping it in force
1t cannot be abrogated. The Hawaiian
contention is that the words have no
such meaning, and that any contract
or agreement can be dissolved by mu-
tual consent as matter of course; that
If the claim of Japan was valid the
treaty would be in effect permanently.
