WASHINGTON, March 15.-There
is reason to believe that when Cor
gress assemblies in regular session
next December the PRECEDENT may be
able to redeem his promise to submit
a treaty with Great Britain providing
for general and unlimited arbitration
of all questions that may arise be
tween the United States and Great
Britain. Attention having been di
rected to the subject by the remark
able speech of Sir Edward Grey IN
parliament, it is learned that negotia-
lions for such a treaty have been
the existing Hague convention), but
formal way, although up to this time
neither side has submitted a final and
concrete proposition.
With a practical agreement on the
principles of arbitrating all questions
in controversy even those involving
national honor expressly excluded by
the existing Hague convention, but
two practical difficulties have been
encountered by the negotiators
These are: First, the insistence of
the United States Senate upon its con.
stitutional right to pass upon each
and every question to be submitted
to arbitration, which, of course, will
involve a separate treaty in every
case; second, the difficulty of framing
the declaration in favor of general
arbitration so as to exclude questions
involving national policy.

tivity of President Taft, comes from
a source whose authenticity can not
be questioned and makes possible the
following outline of the situation:
Japanese in Mexico.
There has been developing for some
time a strong anti-American feeling
among certain leading Mexicans, due
partly to attacks on Mexico published
in American undertaking periodicals
and partly to a real fear of Pan-Amer-
icanism. This had led Mexicans high
in authority to develop the most cor
dial feeling for Japan, which the Japa'
nese, for their own strategic purposes
have encouraged.

now residents in Mexico. Some esti

equivocally that the army "maneu-
vers" along the Mexican border are
in reality designed as a demonstra-
ton against Japan, the Standard to-
day prints an article from its Amer
lean correspondent that has caused a
sensation in the British foreign office
and in diplomatic circles. The Stand
ard editorially stands sponsor for it,
and despite the fact that the name of
the correspondents authority is with
held, the story is given general cred
ence here. The article is as follows:
Mexican intimacy with Japan,
which has been increasing to such an
extent as to threaten America with
the possibility of a disastrous flank
attack in the event of war for the
mastery of the Pacific, is the real
reason for the massing of the United
States army in Texas and the concen-
tration of American warships along
the Mexican coast. Americas military
demonstration is a warning to Mexico
and also a notification to Japan that
the United States will not tolerate the
establishment of Mexican govern
men that is pro-Japanese in sentiment.
The American government is fully
resolved to go to any extreme to bring
an end to the danger of the Japanese
using Mexico as a base for operations
at any future time against the Unit
ed States. The situation, therefore,
could not well be more serious.
