NEW JAPANESE
TREATY NEEDED
Legislators Urged to Guard
Constitutional Rights
of State

Editor Call: l observe in the daily
press news item to the effect that the
Japanese government will. on Friday.
renounce the existing treaty with the
United States; that the treaty is purely
commercial+in its nature, having been
negotiated when Japan was semi
barbarous nation, and that it does not
contain the most favored nation
clause; that Japan now wants such a
favored nation clause; and that that
is the reason for her proposed action
in renouncing the treaty
Permit me to say in reply to this
statement that this is absolute error
for the treaty in question, which was
negotiated, not when Japan was a semi
parbarous, but in 1894, does contain
such clause in article | thereof
The treaty was concluded November
p, 1894. at Washington by Walter @
Gresham. secretary of state. acting for
the United States, and Shierichiro
kurino, acting for the mil1ado, ratified
by the senate of the United States
on February ), 1895. and proclaimed by
the president on March 20, 1895. ut is
to be found in United States statutes
1898, volume 90, page S4S.)
1t is a treaty of commerce and navi-
cation, and the concluding portion of
article | reads as follows:
Article 1.-The citizens or sub
Jects of each of the two high con-
tracing parties shall not be COM
pelled under any preteXt what
soever TO pay any charges or taxes
other or higher than those that are
hXr nat i've fifi
or subjects, or citizens or subjects
or the most favored nation.
Article XIV of the treaty also con-
tains the most favored nation" clause.
The real reason for the desire of the
Japanese government to terminate the
treaty appears to be that by its very
terms it is about to expire, and that one
years notice is required to so terminate
1t. 1t went into operation on July II.
1899, and was to remain in force for
the period of 2 years from that date,
superseding the treaties concluded in
1854, 1858, 1855 and 1878.
This is the celebrated document
which Theodore Roosevelt and Gov
ernor Gillett declared gave the sub
jects of the mikado the right to force
their children into all the public
schools of the city. although the priv
ilege of attending our schools is not
mentioned in the treaty not even by
implication.
1t behooves the senators from Cali
fornia and from the Pacific states to
be strenuously on the alert so that none
of the constitutional rights of our state
and of our sister states are sacrificed
in any new compact which will un
doubtedly be concluded in the near fu-
