The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-04-08

President at that dinner, and as Mr..
Taft sat down after his speech the
Ambassador leaned over to him and
said that France was ready to nego,
tate such treaty at once.
The President was delighted at this
prompt evidence that his words had
struck home. But he was not Their
ready to bring the matter to a focus.
He had already begun the discussion
with Ambassador Bryce OF the posi-
bility of negotiating the treaty which
is about to be drafted.
It is, Of course, desirable to take
such matters one at a time, and there
was already plenty of business on
hand to occupy Secretary Knox for
some time in the Canadian reciprocity
agreement and the new treaty of com.
merce and navigation with Japan.
Now that those are out of the way,
so far as the State Department is con-
cerned, the attention of the Admins
tration will be turned, as was said in
these dispatches last night to the
negotiation of the arbitration treaty
with Great Britain. When that is ac-
complished, especially if the President
is able to secure a ratification of it
by the Senate in such a form as to
leave it reasonably effective, It may
I be expected that similar treaty with
France will be undertaken.
Meanwhile the President has talked
over the matter informally with am
basador Jusserand on several occa
sions, as the Paris dispatch reports
The President is never inclined to
be over sanguine about such matters
Nor is he one of those who exagger.
ate the possible results, and believe
that the satisfactory negotiation and
ratification of such treaties will pro
duce the millennium or bring an i'm
mediate end to warfare in the world
But he does hope to get the treaties
negotiated and in force, and he does
think that if that can be accomplished
q long step will have been taken on
the way to ultimate limitation of ar
mament and the reduction of the great
burden of maintaining huge military
establishments.
