of the newspapers, one of which de-

LETTERS EXPLAIN JAP SCARE
SENATE NOW HAS CORRESPOND.
ENCE CALLED FOR.
MagdaIena Bay Land Deal Partici.
pated in by Member of Japanese
Parliament.

Washington, D. C.-In response to
the resolution introduced by Senator
Hitchcock, the department of state
has submitted to the senate what it
insists is the entire correspondence
relating to the Japanese and Magda-
lena bay land deal.
This is the correspondence that the
department failed to submit when de-
mand was made by Senator Lodge.
The correspondence is between
Frederick H. Allen, an attorney repre-
senting the Blackman syndicate,
which controls 100000 acres at Mag
dalena bay, and Secretary Knox and
Acting Secretary Wilson.
In not one of the letters does the
state department inform Allen that it
will not permit his company to sell the
land to a syndicate of Japanese. 1t
does inform him that such sale
would "cause a great outcry." Such a
result, the department informs him,
would be obviously cause for regret
by the government of the United
States"
Many references are made to con-
versations between representatives of
the syndicate and officers of the de-
partment of state, but no explanation
is given as to what occurred during
these conversations.
The correspondence, however, is a
belated admission that active negotia-
tions were in progress between the
Blacxman company and a japanese
syndicate, and that a member of the
Japanese parliament was an active
party to them.
