Uncle Sam May Not Renew the Arbi-

GENTLY Expired.
PANAMA AND JAP QUESTION
Arc Held as Being Mrinly Response
BILE for Such an Action on
Part of the U. S.

Washington, June THE prin-
ciple of compulsory arbitration writ
ten into the code that has bound
the United States with twenty-fouf
great and lesser nations of the world
for the last five years, is in serious
danger, and unless there is a decided
change iii sentiment In the senate,
the renewal of twenty-three of the
treaties which gave concrete evidence
of this nations belief in such poll
icy may be impossible.
In executive session the senate
again failed to ratify renewals OF
the arbitration agreements with
Great Britain, Italy and Spain. which
recently expired. These conventions
provide that questions relating to
tho Interpretation of treaties, OK
cepting those that can not be settled
through diplomatic channels or those
of vital sinterest. national honor or
Independence, shall be submitted to
The Hague A similar treaty with
France already has been renewed,
The main argument arose over the
contention that if the treaty with
Great Britain is ratified the Panama
Canal tolls question would have .
be submitted to The Hague. but dur
I ing the discussion the Japanese ques-
tion and the general attitude of the
nation toward compulsory arDitra-
ton was brought up and led to the
expression of views utterly at var

Washington. Juno 1.-THE Presi-
dent and the Cabinet struggled
vainly today with plans TO appease
the Japanese government, which, as
to d exclusively in press dispatches
is demanding declaration by the
United States of the cc-equality Of
japanese with the citizens OF other
civilized nations.
The President aid members of
the Cabinet knew early today in
the dispatches from Toxic that
Japan had officially determined to
postpone even the consideration OF
Secretary Bryan's proposed peace
proposals.
The alarming intimation in this
action of the Japanese Cabinet is
that the peace proposals OF Mr..
B.4;n, IL accepted would commit
Japan to an agreement to make
war OF. not to make war only on
conditions set forth in the agree
ment.
The opinion of cabinet officers
on this menacing attitude OF Japan
is undoubtedly reflected by the sub

Afraid to Enter Mexico.


The Senators said it was because
Of this that the United States was
afraid to enter Mexico and protect
its own citizens; that the impress
sion had been created in Japan that
this country would not stard up for
its rights.
It had led to the present dispute
with Japan over the authority of
California TO say who should own
its soil Senators asserted bitterly
that this plan Of arbitration had en-
abled England to protest against our
own control OF cur own domestic
commerce and coastwise trade. With
much warmth it was declared that
this so-ca led peace policy of the
past was responsible for treaties
now in force, construed by the ad-
ministration to mean that discrimi-
mating duties cannot be levied and
the American merchant marine can
not be built up. One of the best
features of the Underwood tariff
bill, Senator'S said. was to be reject
ed because of the American tendency
to enter into discriminating treaty
relations.
Treaty is Given No Defense.
Senator'S who today opposed this
treaty were Chamberlain, O'Gorman,
NewIands, Lewis, Pome,
rene. Bristow, Borah and Works.
Not Senator arose to defend the
convention. Senator Chamberlain,
who is leading the fight said tonight
that the treaty never would be ratl-
fed in its present shape.
During the debate Senators ap-
4pealed to their colleagues not to
support policies that would make
the United States impotent in time
OF need.

stop and seriously consider before

flying treaties?' asked Senator
Works of California. ''Are our

state has been denied the right to

erpment, apparently is powerless to

the fact that similar areaty with

WILSON WILL SHIP
HORSES FROM LAGOON
Despite His Heavy Losses,
Thoroughbreds Will Get
to Spring Meet.

Good news for horse owners who have
been wintering their thoroughbreds at the
Lagoon was announced yesterday by II. l.
Wilson, general manager of the Lagoon
Racing associa ton. who notified them
that when the spring dates are made pub
lie he will ship their horses TO the point
where the meeting is to begin,
This was practically 'lifesaver" to
many of the horsemen who expected rae
ing to begin at the Lagoon early this
spring and who did not put away any
getaway money
The beautiful Lagoon racing plant is
now merely n farm. The cessation of
racing without any notice whatever has
cost Manager Wilson heavily and the
summary prohibition of the spring meet
Ing for which he had arranged has also
been expensive, II just little notice had
been given there would have been no
great Injury, now amounting In fact al
most to conlscation Of his vested inter-
ests at the Lagoon.
Despite all this loss he feels that he
must help the horse-owners now al the
Lagoon to get to some point where they
can race. There are about 1o5 horses
wlnterIng In the vicinity Of the track and
all these will he shipped by Manager VIII

He said.

slightest danger OF prohIbitory legislation.
for when | first came to Salt Lake, and
as late as the end of our last meeting,
was assured time and again that the busi-
ness community was highly In favor OF
racing. Pennington citizens were the
most enthusiastic race disciples / have
ever seen. They told me that racing had
practically remade the town and they rId-
culed the idea OF hostile legisla tion.
still believe that the business communi-
ties OF Salt Lake and Pennington are
heartily In favor Of racing as II has been
conducted at the Lagoon, which every
body admits was on high plane.
For these reasons, I urged the horse
men TO winter here, Now their means of
earning a livelihood has been taken away
from them by the new law and I simply
must help them out, for some of them
would be stranded here otherwise"
Yesterday morning after Manager Will
son had refused point-blank TO talk to a
reporter for morning newspaper, that
newspaper quoted him at length saving
he was going to test the law and a lot of
other imaginary stuff
Last night Manager Wilson said he had
no Idea OF trying TO break the law He
simply intended to go elsewhere
Since racing has been forbidden many
business men have expressed the opinion
that the loss Of the sport will be severely
feit during the summer months.
