WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The real
Importance of the new Japanese treaty
developed today, when 1t was learned
at the Japanese embassy that the con-
vention is in fact the first Of the whole
fabric of treaties to readiust japan s
trade and commercial relations with
the great powers and even the lesser
nations with which she has built up
trade.
1t is true there has been much ne
gotiation on this subject and the drafts
Of as many as thirteen trade treaties
have been drawn, but so far none of
them has actually been ratified. While
it was originally expected the United
States might be q year behind the other
powers in the conclusion of new
treaty by reason of the fact that the
existing treaty with Japan would not
expire until July, 1912, this country
has actually gone to the front and act
ed as pioneer for all of the other
nations
Japanese Are Grateful
For the reason that the United States
has not insisted upon claiming the very
last year under the present treaty; that
it has not. as was expected in some
quarters waited to see what other ma
tions were doing, but with full conf
dence in the honor of Japan. has led
the way In unanimously ratifying the
new treaty, the Japanese government
and people are deeply grateful, and, in
the opinion of the Japanese embassy,
this action will do much to inspire the
closest friendship between the two
great nations.
Regarding the condition in the pro-
tocol TO the trenty, "that pending the
conclusion of a special arrangement,
the provisions relating TO tariff in the
treaty of the 22nd Of November. 1894
shall be maintained it is said there
will be no effort in the immediate fu-
ture to make such special arrangement
between Japan and America.
America Will Not Be Loser.
Instead the business Of the two
countries Will be conducted, so far as
customs duties are concerned under
the terms of the old treaty America
will not be loser by this, for even If
, Japan should conclude special trade ar
rangements with other countries, where
by they will secure an abatement of
import duties upon their goods enter
ing Japan, the latter government will,
under the favored nation clause, ex
tend the same privilege to like imports
from the United States, and this will
continue indefinitely or until the two
countries see fit to enter into one of
these special trade arrangements, per-
haps on the lines Of the Canadian reel
procity agreement,
