EXPLAINS CASE
Bryan Says Former Services Disquall
Is Henry James as Arbitrator.

Bryan Says Former Services Disquali-
fy Henry James as Arbitrator.
washington, April 21.-Secretary
Bryan, in q statement outlining the
reasons for the recall Of Henry James
as an arbitrator in an Ecuadorean dis
pute. made it plain that this action
was taken because the state depart
mont thought Mr.. James previous
dealing with Ecuadorean affairs while
a state department official disqualified
him to act as a member of the ar
bitral tribunal.
I'm to the time Of Mr.. James ap-
pointment last December as a MEM
her Of the tribunal which was to ad-
tust the claims pending between the
Ecuadorean government and the Gu-
ayaquil and Quito railway he had, as
assistant chief Of the division Of Lat
in-American affairs Of the state de-
partment, been familiar with the con-
troversy, which had come before him
in one way and another from the time
of its origin.
Will Furnish Unbiased Mcdiators.
Later. discussing the James incident
with the newspaper men, President
Wilson made It clear that whenever
the present administration was re-
Quested by foreign government to
mediate a dispute. every effort would
be made to secure persons who would
be detached from any business or 9TH
er affiliations with the case in point.
One feature Of the arrangement un-
der which Mr.. James went to Ecuador
was that the railroad was to pay his
expenses. This met with the disap-
proval of the administration. and 1t
was the Arrangement, rather than the
person involved, which impelled the
government to withdraw Mr.. James
and approach a mediation of the dis
pute under a different basis.
