JAPAN's IDEAS on ARBITRATION
Wants the United states to Assum,
Contingent RESPONSIBILITY.

NEW YORK, Aug. A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Japan will insist that the United States
assume contingent responsibility in the
matter OF arbitration Of her differences with
Hawaii on the subject of immigration and
the tariff. II is said this is one OF the es-
sentisl conditions TO which Japan will con
sent to arbitraie, and if this responsibility
is not assumed by the United States Japan
will break of negotiations looking to arbi-
tration and back up her demands by q naval
demonstration in Hawaiian waters. The
State department has not yet received any
official communication from the Japanese
government on this matter, and the admin
istration has not indicated whether or not
it will comply with the Japanese demand
when made.
An official of the Japanese legation said
in an interview: i am not officially in
formed concerning the terms Of arbitration,
but that Japan should ask the United States
TO take recognition OF it and resume an ulti-
mate responsibility for the decioons Of the
arbiter as regards Hawaii being carried out
seems 10 me very natural II the United
States refuses to give US a guaranty il is
probable that the arbitration proposition will
fail We prefer to entertain grievance and
to indemnify our subjects ourselves rather
than to arbitrate after the indignity OF the
refusal by the United States of so iust &
request. Neither the United States nor the
Hawaiian government can justly plead dis
interestedness. Frequently in the Hawaiian
