adverse circumstances. Mr.. John Hay.
who was once President Lincoln's private
secretary, said in speaking of American
diplomacy. The briefest expression OF
our rule of conduct is perhaps the Mon
roe doctrine and the golden rule.
Golden Rule Applied
'The history Of the diplomatic relations
between the United States and Japan and
other far eastern countries is rep1ete with
description of the friendly acts taken by
this country that might be considered as
an application OF the golden rule and there
Is every reason to believe that such appli-
cation Of the golden rule in your diplom-
acy with those countries is being retri-
buted by the adoption of the same in their
diplomacy towards you.
Now let me make few remarks here
about our relations in order to show you
how the golden rule has been observed
between the two countries and also why IL
must be observed.
Il have necessarily to begin with the
remarkable success of Commodore Per
rvs mission which was sent to Japan
some half century ago in order to open
and introduce into the community of ma
only terra incoguito. Not speaking of the
great debt OF gratitude Japan owes to
the United States for her friendly intro
duction into the International community
It is a noteworthy fact that the American
government has been particularly careful
in the selection of its representatives in
Japan in order TO accomplish what has
been left for them to do by Perry's mis-
sion.
Tribute to Diplomat.
Townsend Harris. your first minister to
Japan, was especially remarkable as q
man of large heart and broad mind II
was through such friendly attitude taken
by the American representatives, Of course
supported by the government. that the
American people are deeply endeared to
ours and we want TO reciprocate what
has been done for us. We have never
had any idea for moment of dispieaslng
your people, much less of waSing war
against you
1T is for this reason that when dis
pleasure was manifested in this country
I'm regard to the Japanese immigration we
readily consented to the adjustment OF the
question under certain conditions by lin
iting the immigration of laborers to the
minimum number. and as consequence
it has been greatly reduced. notably since
last Jslx. and it Is found during the latter
half of 1905 the number of japanese i'm
migrants who returned TO japan from con-
tinental United States was larger than
those who arrived in this country by 200
and the number of those who returned to
japan from the Hawaiian islands was also
i'm excess Of those VINO arrived there from
Japan by I5O0- While IL is not certain
how long this condition of movement will
continue, it is possible that every half
wear hereafter will witness the decrease
of Japanese residents In this country in
about the same proportion for some years.

Treaties Signed.

Again when there was Apprehension OF
a misunderstanding arising between US IN
regard to the trade marks copyrights and
other matters of kindred nature of the
Asiatic continent, the two governments at
once opened negotiations and concluded
conventions with the view to protect our
mutual interests in this regard. We also
signed a treaty for the general arbitra-
ton of controversies between the two
countries, and lastly we exchanged a ley
months ago a declaration defining the pol
lev of the two governments in China and
in the Pacific ocean, with a view 10 en-
couraging the free and peaceful develop
ment of the commerce of the two nations
and also to preserve the general peace IN
that region Thus we have been using
every effort not only to remove all pos
sible causes of misunderstanding and con-
flict between the two countries. but 10
bring about a clear and definite under

Of the application Of the golden rule in
your diplomacy and of the adoption of
the same in ours. and I most emphati-
calIy declare that as long as the golden
rule is considered as the guiding prin-
ciple of our diplomacy we shall be en-
abled to enjoy the benefit of peace and
prosperity that will surely continue, and

must be I dare say. fully in accordance
