I issues involved. The United States has
already taken the position that the case
does not involve questions of national
honor, and, IL is understood. Japan
subscribes to the same view. Such an
agreement would have to be submitted
to the Senate for ratification. Follow
ing such ratification the copyt would

Thus far Japan, though insisting that
the California legislation is discrimina-
tory and in violation Of the most fav-
ored nation clause" has not indicated
any disposition to resort to arms to
establish the rights Of her nationls on
the Pacific coast. That she might at
tempt some such expedient has been the
fear of army and navy officers for
months, and. for that reason army and
navy men have not wished to become
too much involved with Mexico until
the California question Is disposed of.
Moreover 1t is significant that all the
preparation which have ben r.~de by
the Army AMI Navy In the last few
years have been based On the theory
that tire next big war ~ thu Crited
States will be fought with a nation o.
the Far East. For that repson the gar
risons and sho-e Notifications in our
Eastern possessions-particula Ha-
waii-have been greatly strengthened.
II is nlso noteworthy that the biggest
gurs in the Notifications at Panama
arc aimed across the Pacific.
