for the President's appeal
Referendum Spella Delay,
The fact that the arbitration conven?
tion between the Fnited States and
Japan, under which Japan would ssak
to carry the California-Japanese dis?
pute to The Hague for ?.n Interpreta?
tion of the treaty of 1011, expires by
limitation on August 24 is one of the
impelling reasons for Arnbiussudor
Chinda'? dealre to avoid the delay
which would result from invoking the
referendum, a course which necessarily
would prolong the controversy beyond
the.life of the arbitration convention
It la no violation of confidence to gay
that Ambassador Chinda places much
hope In an ultimate solution of the i
problem by The Hague, as he believes
the whole dispute revolves a'.'out the
oonatructlon of the treaty of 1?* 11,
which guarantees to the Japanese peo?
ple certain rights and privileges in the
Fnited States which would be denied
In California if the Webh-Bloodgood
bill became a law. Therefore, he is
anxious that diplomatic negotiations
8hi.ll terminate between hlmwlf and
the Secretary of State before the arbi?
tration convention expires.
On the other hand, the President and
Secretary Bryan are placing groat de?
pendence upon blocking the objection?
able legislation through the referen- '
dum. as powerful influences will be
brought to bear upon the citizens of
California to delay any anti-Japanese
legislation until It is possible to nego?
tiate a new treaty or settle the Jap?
anese question by diplomucy.

The view taken by Amv>assad"i
Chinda Is that the California-Tapar? -
-fueetlon is one clearly requiring an
interpretation Of the treaty of lflll

those di'.'inccs. Whether ther? aro j
any diff?re).ces of opinion bstwssB
assador Chinda and Secretary t
Bryan as to the construction of th'
treaty in question has not yet be?;n ,
fully disclosed, but It may be as
gomad that here are.
Ir. ttttf event, :t is apparent th?;
aooner or later the Department of
State mus* take the etand either that
the Webb- IhJOdgPOd bill violates tin
treaty with Japan or that the meas- (
ure is technically wit* in the provisions
of the treaty.
If It Is held by the State Department
that the proposed law violates the
treaty it will be up to the national,
government to prevent Its enforce
msot
If the statut? is held not to violai- ;
the treaty it will be necessary to prove
to Japan's satisfaction that there Is j
no such violation.
Should tha. prove impossible an em-1
phatlc appeal for arbitration of the !
disputo 11 The Hague will follow.

Ambassador Chinda has not looked
favorably on the suggestion Of President
Wllsor and Secretary Bryan that th?.
California referendum law shall be In?
voked as one of the means of preventing
the measure from becoming a law. He
argues that the referendum plan would of
necessity cause delay, which would not
only serve further to Inflame his people,
but wouWl also prolong the dispute be?
yond August 2', and thus make impos?
sible an appeal for arbitration, unless, of
course, the treaty were renewe'1, which
might prove difficult under the circum?
stances.
The Japanese Ambassador is ako po?
litely but firmly averse to litigation
which would extend beyond the life of the
arbitration convention. His Idea 1? that
the American COUTta are not peculiarly ex?
peditious, und expedition is Imperative tn
?lew of the fact that there remain less
than four months in which to appeal to
The Hague, under the existing convention.
A study of the California ?eferendum
law has disclosed the fact to the Jap
an*se Ambassador that the voters of the
state could not force a vote on the Webb
Bloodgood bill before the general elec?
tion. In the fall of 191', although pro
