THE MORNING OREGOMAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20 1908.
NONSENSE, SAYS
WHITELAW REID
Not Ghost of Possibility of War
With Japan, His
' Opinion."
ALL YELLOW MOONSHINE
?fo Likelihood That Britain Would
Help Japan if War Came Mark ;
Twain Jokes About the
Motto- on Coin.
NEW TORK, Feb. 19. Whltelaw Reid,
Ambassador of the United States to Great
Britain, In a speech tonight at the dinner
of the Pilgrims of the United States at
Urlmonlco's, declared that talk of the
obligation of Great Britain to sustain
Japan in war against the United States
was nonsense. The Ambassador said that
'there was not the ghost of a possibility
of war with Japan," and that there was
every reason to think the Japanese sin
cerely our friends. Our relations with
Great Britain,' the Ambassador said, were
'cordial and there were no serious compli
cations. The- Ambassador was given an ovation
when he arose to speak by the 400 mem
bers of the Pilgrims of the United States
'and their guests. Joseph H. Choate. ex
Ambassador to Great Britain, was toast
master. Mr. Reid, who was the principal
guest of the evening, said In part:
War Talk All , Moonshine.
In dwelling on our peaceful and cordial
relations, I am not forgetting the nonsense
you have read In th sensational press about
the obligations of Great Britain to sustain
Japan In war against the United States. If
nil that Ignorant and foolish talk were not
mischievous, you might dismiss it as merely
another bit of yellow moonshine. For, first,
there la no war and not the ghost of a prob
ability of war with Japan, any more than
there is of war with Russia or with Thibet
or with Paraguay and atagonla.
We "have every reason to- think the Jap
anese sincerely our friends, as we are theirs.
If they are not, there is one thing you may
be sure about, they certainly are not fools,
and you have to think them entirely with
out common sense before you can Imagine
them capable of seeking war with a power
ful and friendly nation, half way around the
Klobe. absolutely without a grievance or a
motive.
Provisions of Treaty.
And, secondly, the treaty between Japan
and Great Britain simply provides that in
ease of aggression upon Japan's recognized
territorial rights in the Bast, Great Britain
would sustain her. Now, what grown man
outside of a lunatio asylum dreams we have
such a hunger for more land that we are
(tqing across the Pacific to try to rob one of
our oldest and truest friends In the Farther
East the Very land we Introduced to the
Western World and to which we certainly
tried to be useful In helping to bring the
late lamentable struggle to a close?
You are right, no doubt, to blame the sen
sational press for Its unpatriotic- eagerness
to make dirty halfpennies by inventing and
spreading this mischievous folly. But, I beg
of you, be Just and blame still more that
section of the American people. Inconsider
able in finance, and. I must think, not con
siderable in numbers, who appear - still so
provincial, so credulous and so careless as
to gulp oown such stuff open-mouthed, like
halfgrown backwoods fly-gobblers, and
really seem to relish It. t
Nothing in War Talk.
Having ridiculed the suggestion that
war between tha United States and Japan
was within the range of possibilities, the
Amoafsador departed frm his prepared
speech to add:
"So far as the information and belief of
tne onicers of the. diplomatic service ex
tend, there is absolutely nothing In it."
A burst of applause followed the declar
ation.
Much of the fun of the evening -was
arrorded by Mark Twain. Mr. Clemens
said that he was gratified that Congress
was about to restore to the coinage the
words "In God We Trust" He continued:
I knew that we would get into diffi
culty If we left those words off, and
straightway the trouble cams. Th sriu-
perity of the whole Nation went down in a
pile when we ceased to trust God In that
conspicuous and well-advertised wsv if
Pierpont Morgan had not .stannari in 4at
then! Now that we have resumed our trust
in CxOQ. we will discharge Mr. Morgan from
oisn omco or nonor;
WILL MAKE TEST OP THE LAW
Japanese Detained for Litigation
Over Exclusion Act.
VICTORIA, B. C, Feb. 19. Upon the
arrival of the steamer Tosa Maru this
evening with 135 Japanese, of whom - 31
were for victoria, one man, who was
unable to pass the educational test' pro
vided by the new British Columbia im
migration act, was selected by the new:
comers to undergo arrest by the provin
cial immigration officers at the Instance
of Colonel Gregory, solicitor for the Ot
tawa government, who met the steamer
with the Immigration officers.
The Japanese unable to pass the educa
tional test was taken In charge when he
left the steamer, after being passed, with
the others, by the federal Immigration
officers, and Colonel Gregory will begin
habeas corpus proceedings tomorrow to
test the constitutionality of the British
Columbia act. -
This aqtlon was taken at the Instance
of the Dominion government, whteh, ac
cording to advices from Ottawa, pro
poses to disallow the act of the local- gov
ernment; -The result of the action taken
against the man arrested will be awaited
before action Is -taken regarding the ad
mittance of the others.
JAPANESE POLICY FAVORABLE
Agrees With This Country on Emi
gration Question.
TOKIO, Feb. 19. The memorandum
of the Japanese Government In reply
to that of the United States on the
subject of emigration-, mentioned yes
terday by the Associated Press, was
handed to Ambassador O'Brien today.
It(ls understood that It agrees in Its
general terms with a number of sug
gestions made by the American Gov
ernment and insures a further .restric
tion of emigration by the practical
prohibition pf laborers. The Japanese
Government points out that the restric
tions already enforced, including the
closing of emigration to Canada,
Mexico and the Hawaiian Islands, will
make future complaints from America
almost impossiole.
Every evidence goes to- prove that
the Japanese Government has Been un
sparing In its efforts to avoid further
complications resulting from the emi
gration question, but the Government
is facing a powerful opposition from
the emigration companies which are
behind a proposed resolution in the
riet to censure the foreign policy of
Viscount Hayashi. Minister of Foreign
Affairs, toward China, America and
Canada.
Should this, resolution be introduced
In the Diet. It will probably be defeated
by a narrow margin. Its passage would
certainly entail the resignation of the
Cabinet. Should the Cabinet De
changed, the best-Informed Japanese
believe that a , "new administration
would closely follow the emigration
policy of Minister Hayashi,
Ex-Ambassador Aokl since his ar
rival has not called at the Foreign Of
fice nor has he submitted a report upon
the situation at Washington, but ' has
assumed an attitude of unfriendliness
to Minister HayashL. It Is believed that
Aqkl is Joining the forces opposing the
Foreign Office.
WOULD DISALLOW NATAL ACT
Dominion Minister Says It Exceeds
Power of Province.
OTTAWA, Ont.. Feb. 19. The report
of the Minister of Justice on the Natal
act has been submitted to the- Cabinet.
It is reported that the. report recom
mends disallowance on the ground of
the act being ultra vires and contrary
to the terms of the British ITortb,
Amerisan act. The Cabinet -did not
eet today, so that the report will not
be taken into consideration until to
morrow-. '
The Department1 of Justice has in
structed its agent at Vancouver t
take out a writ of habeas corpus, so
as to release the Japanese Imprisoned
under the act. -

SAX FRANCISCO, Feb. 19. Soto Shim
bun, the Japanese daily newspaper here,
has been attached for debts amounting
to about ty)00, said to be due for paper,
ink and other materials. The Soto Shim
bun has been strongly opposed to the
action of the. School Board In the Jap
anese matters, and the editorial utter
ances have been sensational and decided
ly antagonistic to San Francisco. It
published recently a pamphlet for free
distribution which contained a list of
alleged offenses against Japanese.
GAGE 13 FDR FOWLER BILL
BASED ON SOTTXD PRINCIPLES
OP BANKING, HE SATS.
Ex-Secretary Denounces Aldrlch
Currency Bill as Object of
Dread to Bankers.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19. The princi
ples of the Fowler financial bill were de
fended today by former Secretary of
Treasury Lyman J. Gage, Charles A. Co
nant, of New York, and professor Joseph
French Johnson of the New York Uni
versity before the House Committee on
banking and currency. Mr. Gage said
that we have reached the most important
period In the financial history of the
country for the last 40 or 60 years, and
that the solution of the problem depended
largely upon the men mtiking up the
banking and currency committee.
It was early impressed upon him, said
Mr, Gage, a credit currency Issued on
proper assets, received and exchanged,
containing only the amounts of credits,
was an effective, useful and economic
agency in the Industrial exchanges of the
people and was the best system of bank
ing. Taking up the present financial system,
Mr. Gage said - he thought It ought
to be revised from the very beginning.
He regarded the Fowler bill as a com
prehensive measure, containing. In itself
the evidence that the author understands
clearly -and specifically the principles
which underlie the banking and currency
relationship of things and has brought
forth a measure which In contrast to the
one offered In the Senate, has reached the
fundamental stage.
Continuing, Mr. Gage said:
''I have no sympathy at all for the
Aldrlch bill. I do not think it Is a cura
tive of our evils."
As a banker, he eald, he would ask to
come under the provisions of the Fowler
bill, and would' look with dread and ap
prehension If the Aldrlch bill should be
come a law.
