say whether the President has yet
made similar proposition to Japan.
First Submitted to czar

The customary diplomatic proceed
lngs in such case would be to submit
the proposal simultaneously to both
countries, but there might be an ad-
vantage in securing the adherence of
one before submitting it to the other.
To Emperor Nicholas, the author of the
Hague peace conference, the sugges-
ton of arbitration which will immedi-
ately command the sympathy of the
public opinion of the world, will be
particularly hard to reject.
If he agrees, Japan, if she has not
already done so, will be all the more
bound to submit her claim to the deci-
sion of an impartial arbitrator.
Acceptance by both sides would in
volve great extension of the prin-
ciple of arbitration, as nations here
tofore have declined to arbitrate ques-
tions involving "honor and dignity"
Both Mr.. Takahira and Mr.. Witte in
the earlier stages of the conference
absolutely rejected the idea of arbitra.
tion and only Saturday both reiterated
their disbelief in such a solution. 1t
was noticed. however, that Mr. Whites
opinion was not expressed as strongly
as it was last week.
