C00LIE EXCLUSION PACT
Hope Expressed in Washing
ton That Japan'S Experience
With John Bull viii Hasten
Negotiations With America.

Washington, Sept. 10.-That strin-
gent exclusion treaty between Amer.
lea and Japan is measureably nearer
realization than the most optim et.c
administration official could have be.
lieved forty-eight hours ago, is the
judgment of the members of the dir.
lomatic corps here. This long sou mi
object Is expected to be attained per.
haps as an indirect result of the
mobbing of the Japanese at Vancou-
yer in British Columbia last Satm :
day night.
Officials here deplore what they
view as an unfortunate and unWar-
ranted infraction of the treaty rights
of the japanese. but they 10 not faIl
10 perceive at once the important
bearing that his incident viii Prob
ably have upon the negotiations be-
tween the state department and the
Japanese' ambassador. looking to the
drafting Of a treaty that shall limit
the incoming of Japanese coolies in
stead of allowing the subject to be
dealt with In the present loose fashion
by what amounts to a semi-official un-
derstanding on the part of the Japan
ese government TO withhold passports
Ia coolies coming directly to the
United States The belief that a
treaty is now within sight Is based On
the conviction of officials that the
japanese government will now be
brought face to face with the fact
that as ii cannot discriminate between
Great Britain and America in the mat
ter of demands for fair treatment for
its subjects and must by this time b"
convinced that the problem presented
Is really q radical one. the only sOlu-
tion Of which will lie i'm the formal
recognition by Japan of the right of
other nations to restrict coolie immi-
grafton. not only in America. but in
British Columbia, Australia and other
British colonies.
To take any other view. II Is point
ed out here. would mean a breach of
the alliance with England. of which
the japanese have been so proud, ahd
which they regard as so necessary to
the development of their amni.i 1ds
schemes for the exploitation of the
east. For though the british goVern-
ment may. and doubtless viii apollo
gize for the Vancouver affair and oven
pay indemnity, a repetition OF the In
cident is believed to be almost certain
unless the British government yields
To the demands OF the British Colum
bians In the matter of restricting ) Ja9-
anese immigration.
As matter of fact, negotiations ore
already on foot between the British
and the japanese governments to reg
ulate the influx of cOolie labor into
British colonies. The Vancouver In
cident will, Il Is believed here. hasten
these negotiations to conclusion, and
N Japan enters into treaty relations
Of that kind with Great Britain. II
cannot refuse TO do so with America,
so that there Is, after all. the prospect
that Secretary Root and Ambassador

CUBA's PROPOSED ARMY.
Carrying Out of plan Would Be a
Monumental Mistake.

from TIE NeW YORK sun.
The plan TO create standing army Of
12,900 men in Cuba Is as little commend
able as the proposal 10 Increase the rural
guard to lo0Oo and the artillery TO 200
men. The work TO be done by such a
body and the objections 20 such an in
stitution are identical whether the or
ganizati be called a standing army. a
rural guard. or a peace commission.
The scheme for a Cuban army doubtless
proceeds from the hypothesis that an
army or a constabulary in Cuba would
be and do what like organization in this
country would be and do. It Is assumed
that it would maintain law and order.
keep out OF politics, and support loyalty
the changing and successive administra-
lions. The fact is that such a body in
Cuba would be a Veritable hOtbed Of
political intrigue. the gTavest danger spot
IN all the experience of the island To
arm and equip an army for the mainte-
nance of peace in Cuba would be 10 arm
and equip two armies which would with
in a short time be arrayed against each
other in conflict between rival political
leaders.
II the price of tranquility and assured
stability in Cuba is the withdrawal Of
12,000 able-bodied men from the produc-
tive industries OF the island and the ex-
penditure OF one-quarter of the lnsular
revenues for military or police purposes,
Cuba's condition is utterly hopeless, and
preparation should be made for an in
definite American occupation. We do not
believe that either policy is desirable Or
necessary
