TAkAnIRA TO VISIT JAPAN
GOES TO CONSULT FOREIGN OF.
FICE AT TOXIC.
Revision of Treaty of Commerce and
Navigation One Subject for
Discussion.

Baron K0goro Takahira, the Japanese
ambsssador.. will soon ieave Washington
for visit to Japan, the foreign office
desiring to consult him about various i'm
portant matters. He will return to this
city in about three or four months.
One of the subjects to be discussed by
the foreign office with the ambassador is
that of a revision of the treaty of COM
merce and navigation with the United
States. which. with protocol regarding
passports, the application of the japanese
tariff to American imports, ETC., will ex-
pire in 1911.
Japan has treaties along similar lines
with the other great powers but by a
singular coincidence they expire by limita-
ton in 1910. year earlier tnan In the
case of the United States This gives the
United States a decided advantage in
dealing with Japan in the revision of its
treaty, as this country will be in a posi-
ton to demand concessions made to other
countries, and perhaps in addition.
Japan Anxious for Treaty.
Japan would like very much to start
negotiations now with the United States
with view to revision, so that the new
treaty may become operative at the same
time those negotiated with the other
governments, but the Washington admin
lstration is not disposed to make such
concession.
The Japanese have started in with great
earnestness in the preliminary work Of
treaty revision, and already there has
been appointed a general board to deal
with the subject. Japan is considering
the raising of her tariff rates, matter
of Importance to the United States, in
view of the export trade to that country
Baron Takahra will leave the United
States when Congress adjourns and will
go home by way of Seattle. He will
be accompanied by Nine Takahira and
Mr.. Yoshida the third secretary of the
embassy. Baron Takahira came to the
United States directly from Rome where
he represented his country minister
so that he had not an opportunity to
consult personally the foreign Office be-
fore undertaking his work in the United
States.

too low, and that "a was only a fair measure of
the difference between the cost OF production
here and IN Canada. In other words the 50
found by the special committee I'm the House was

THE PRESIDENTS SPEECH.
? The Presidents speech follows:

NV fellow citizens: AS long ago as August,
1906 in the Congressional campaign i'm Maine
] Ventured 10 announce that l tariff re-
yisionist, and thought that the time had come
for readjustmentsof the schedules. I pointed
out that il had been ten years prior TO that time
that the Dingley bill had been passed, that
great changes had taken place in the conditions
surrounding the productions Of the farm. the
factory and the mine and that under the theory
az protection in that time the rates imposed in
fhe Dingley bin in many instances might have
become eXceSSiHe-that is, might have been
greater than the difference between the cost of
production abroad and the cost of production az
home. with a sufficient allowance for a reason
able rate of profit 10 the American producer. I
said that the party WAS divided this issue,
but that in my judgment the opinion OF the
party was crystallizing, and would probably re-
suit in The near future in an effort TO make such
revision. I pointed out the difficulty that there
Slways was in revision Of the tariff, due TO
the threatened disturbances OF industries 20 be
affected, and the suspension OF business in a
way which made IL unwise TO have too many
'revisions.
in the summer of 1907 my position on the
tsriT was challenged and then entered into a
somewhat fuller discussion OF the matter It
WAS contended by the so-called ''sta nd -patters"
fhat rates beyond the necessary measure OF pro-
tection were not objectionable because behind
the tariff wall competition always reduced the
prices and thus saved the consumer. But I
pointed ont in that speech what seems 20 me as
true to-day il then was that the danger Of
excessive rates was in the temptation they Gre
sfed TO form monopolies in the protected arti-
cles end thus 90 take advantage OF the excessive
rates by increasing the prices, and therefore, IN
Order 20 avoid such a danger. IL was wise at
regular intervals TO examine the question what
the effect Of the rates had been upon the indus
sries I'm this country and whether the conditions
with respect 10 the cost OF production here had
changed as 10 warrant a reduction in the
sarir and 10 make a lower rate truly protective
Df the Industry.

called for a readjustment and change from
ad valorem 10 specific rates.
"As TO whether the rates on cotton goods are
higher than they ought TO be-" said the Presi-
dent 'gt vas A question of evidence. will not
defend this evidence. but We hope soon 10 know
more about the tariff than we did at the be-
ginning Of this fight"
President Taft dwelt at some length on his
Interpretation OF the duties and scope OF ac-
tivity OF the new tariff commission, which II mas
been asserted in some quarters was made into
isn innocuous body by Senate amendments to the
hin. Mr. Taft has maintained all along that the
commission as finally authorized. could accom-
i,piish all that could be desired. He said to-
might that the commission would collect evil
dence at home and abroad would ascertain the
iprioe Of producing here and abroad, and would
gather into an encyclopaedia expert information
on every question and every article entering into
a tariff bill.
Mr. Taft said il would be utterly useless ana
distressing TO business TO bring about further
discussion OF the tariff during the present or
next session Of Congress. and added that it
would require the three years Of his administra-
ton for the commission 20 collect facts which
would enable them 10 justify the taking up Of
the tariff on a more scientific basis than ever
before.
BY that time. he asserted, the party would be
ready 10 20 before the people again with def
mite proposition.
