But It did not do so by way of Oklahoma

There was talk sometime ago that Okla-

the thoern made by Diplomat" is ir
relevant.
ft is perfectly true, that there is m
theory of international law which .mp.w.

t on of enfranehising aliens. howev -
great may l>e the services to the countrj
in which they reside, however great tnaj
be their ContributloiiM to Its exchequer,
«-r however nraraed may be their super-
• rity over the natives. That is a matter
as to which a eovere gti State is recognis-
«'l as the exclusive judg.- The fact that
the resident alien? may constitute a ma-
jority is a fact with which outside coun-
tries have nothing to do. When Hawaii
was independent, a relatively Insignificant
number of wihite men withheld the fran-
chise from tens of thousands of Chinese
and Japanese. In the United Kingdom, up
to 1832, a minority of adult males monop-
olised the franchise. In India, a handful
of Englishmen govern three hundred mil-
lions of natives. Xt is also true that the
m&n for the minority i«i the Transvaal
Is, from one pednt of view, stronger than
is the case of the minority in India, be-
ause in the former instance authority does
riot proceed from the subjugation of the
majority but is <basvd upon original oc-
cupation of the iand. It may be ever
contended that, not only having the min-
ority in an independent State the le*nl
right to shut out resident aliens would
constitute a majority, the minority Is Jus-
tified in keep.ng them disfranchised by
t*he right of self-preservation
The p'ea of MA Diplomat" is besed on
the fundamontal assumption that the
Boers possess all the rights of sovereign-
ty belonging to an independent State, ex-
cept those expressly reserved to ^England
as a suzerain power by the Convention of
1S84; and upon the furt-her assumption,
that the right to prescribe naturalization

paired In any concessions which, by that
convention ,th© "Boers made to Great Brit-
ain. This is, iff course, the vital point at
