Peace Meeting
Committee of Americans and
BritonS to Arrange for
Joint Gathering.

A mass-meeting of American and
British citizens will be held within a
few days to give formal Endorsement,
80 far as this community IL concern
cd, to the cause of international arbi-
tration. with particular approval Of
the treaty between the United States
and Great Britain that is now near
completion.
Honolulu's voice will be heard ac-
claiming the stand taken by Presi-
dCrt Taft and urging the negotiation
and ratification OF the treaty. accord
ing to preliminary plans made yes
terday afternoon at a meeting of rep
resentative British and America citi-
zens held at the Commercial Club.
From the outset, Americans and
Britons will share in the preparations
for the mass-meeting, and the key
note of international brotherhood IS
to be emphasized. H. A. Taylor, who
was the initiative of the movement
that resulted In yesterdays meeting,
offered motion that the chairman
name a committee of American citi-
zens who should select committee
of British citizens, and this Joint
committee he empowered to arrange
for the mass meeting. Immediately
there was vigorous protest, started ly
Jack Lucas, and concurred in by half a
dozen other Americans, who declared
that from the very outset British and
American citizens should have equal
representation on the committee. Mr.
Taylor's idea, as he fastened to ex-t
plain, was that as this is an Anne
rican territory, the British preferred
that the invitation should come from
Americans, but added that so unani-
nous was the expression on the part
of the Americans present that British
should be with them from the begin
ming, that no further invitation is mel
ccssary.
r. a. Jordan In the meanwhile hadI
risen and stated It as his understand
