the American Union has shifted the de-
termination Of great questions of domcs-
tic national policy from few rulers in
each country to the great body of the
people, who render the ultimate deci-
sion under all modern constitutional
governments.
Never for moment was there. as
between the government of the United
States aud the government of Japan
the slightest departure from perfect
good temper, mutual condolences. and
kindly considerations; and no sooner
had the views and purposes of the
governments OF the United States, the
state of California, and the city of
San Francisco been explained by each
to the other than entire harmony and
good understanding resulted. with a
common desire to exercise the power
vested in each for the common good
of the whole country. of the State,
and of the city.
Question of Constitutional Power.
"One question at issue was whether.
If the treaty had the meaning which
the government of Japan ascribed to
it, The government of the United
States had the constitutional power
to make such a treaty agreement with
a foreign nation which should be SUI
perior to and controlling upon the
laws of the State of California. A
correct understanding of that question
is of the utmost importance not mere
" as regards the State OF California,
but as regards all States and all citi-
zens of the Union.
at has been widely asserted or as
sumed that this treaty provision and
It's enforcement involved some question
of State rights. There was and Is no
question of States rights involved, un-
less it be the question which was set
tied by the adoption of the Constitution.
mo State can set up Its laws DIS
against the grant of any particular
right. privilege, or immunity any more
than against the grant of any other
right, privilege, or immunity. No
State can say a treaty may grant to
alien residents equality of treatment
as to property. but not as to educa-
ton, or as to the exercise of religion
and as to burial but not as to educa-
property or religion.
Question of War With Japan.
1T was not a question of war with
Japan. All the foolish talk about war
was purely sensational and imagina-
tive. There was never even friction
between the two governments.
me question was, what Stats OF
feeling would be created between the
great body of the people of the United
State and the great body of the people
of Japan as result of the treatment
given to the Japanese in this coun-
try?
THE great question which overshad-
owed all discussion of the treaty OF
1894 was the questions: Are the people
of the United States about to break
friendship with the people OF Japan?
That question. 1 believe, has been
happily answered in the negative"
