Washington. June 14.-viscount
Chinda. the Japanese ambassador, has
advised Secretary Bryan that Japan is
willing to renew for another period Of
five years the arbitration treaty with
the United States. which expires by
Limitation Aug. "a.
Secretary Bryan. making the an
nouncement. said he not only hoped
but expected the senate would ratify
the arbitrator treaties already signed
with Great Britain and other coun-
tries. No date for signing the Japa-
nese renewal has been determined.
Expects to Overcome Opposition.
The senatorial opposition which Mr..
Bryan is hopeful Of overcoming was
originally voiced by Senator Chamber
lain. who insisted that in renewing a
treaty with Great Britain specific ex-
ceptions should be made to remove the
Panama canal tolls controversy from
the fields Of arbitration. The question
Of arbitrating the issue with Japan
over the alien land law has also been a
subject Of discussion among senators
oppohed to renewing that arbitration
treaty.
President Wilson has had frequent
conferences over the arbitration treat
les with senators at the White House
and at the capitol. Members OF the
foreign relations committee likewise
have been frequent callers at Mr.. Bry-
ans office. Mr.. Bryan would not say
on what he based his expectations that
the arbitration treaties would receive
senatorial approval.
Wilson insists on Currency Lavvs.
President Wilson stu wanth cur
rency legislation enacted At the present
session OF congress and will bend every
effort to aecomplish that purpose. The
president planned TO write his currency
message to congress today. It win be
presented about June % or -. about
the time that members OF the house get
back for reorganization and work or
the currency bill.
II also was announced today that
Secretary McAdoo and Chairman
Owen and Glass Of the senate and
house banking and currency commit
tees, respectively. had reached an
agreement on the main features Of the
currency bill they have been drafting
for the last two months.
The president. 1t IL understood. how
ever. will not go into detail In his cur
rency message. preferring to back the
Owsn-Glass bill as an expression OF
his ideas. but win call attention to the
nesd Of currency reform. His argu-
mont WIN be along the lines Of his let
tor recently TO Senator Tillman. in
which he declared that in loyalty to
the country currency legislation was
necessary during the present session OF
congress-" 90 that an attempt to Gre
ate any artificial disturbances after the
taraff hah become . law may be offset by
q free systsm Of credit which will make
it possible for men to take care OF
themselves In business.
The message il not expected to be
more than 1900 words long and 1t is
not known whether the president VIII
read It to congyess 40 he did tho tariff
message, or send It to both houses as
was the custom before he broke u
precedent Of q century.
