Japan Not Satisfied.

Washington. May Sit is learned
here that the Webb bill in its present
form is not satisfactory to the Japan
csc government. Although there is
possibility of amendment in the lower
branch of the California legislature or
in conference, the conviction obtains
that nothing remains to be done from
the Japanese point of view at present,
but to await the return to Washington
of Secretary Bryan. Then it will be

Delay of Week.

This will mean delay of nearly a
week, as Secretary Bryan left here
Saturday evening and will not reach
the national capital until Wednesday
night or Thursday morning.
Governor Johnson will wait. as he
says, "a reasonable time" for what
ever protests the government may
make, after which he will sign the bill.
He is required, by law, to sign or We
70 all acts passed up to him by the
legislature within 10 days of their fin
al passage, provided the enacting body
remains in session for that length OF
time, otherwise, he has 80 days.
1t appears that the legislature will
not adjourn until May Is or later,
which will require the governor to act
on or before Tuesday, May 10.
Speculation as to Action.
There is much speculation here as
to the next probable step to be taken
by the government against the meas
ure. 1t is generally thought, however.
that President Wilson will state his
objections once more to Governor
Johnson and then seek, through al.
plomacy, to answer the possible pro-
tests from Toxic.
Opinion as to the effectiveness of
the act in accomplishing its purpose,
the elimination of the Japanese farm
er, is divided. Until the final amend
ment was adopted, permitting aliens
ineligible to citizenship to lease agri-
measure was the most drastic of any
that had been proposed.
Now, however, it is asserted by
many that it will accomplish little, in
asmuch as it does not stipulate that
the leases may not be renewed again
and again.
Governor Johnson and the Progress
siveS regard the measure as a neces-
sary first step in accomplishing what
they believe to be the desire of the
people of the state.
Japs to Make Formal Protest.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. that the Japan
csc government had instructed Ambas-
sador Chinda to make formal protest
against the California anti-alien land
bill, now awaiting Governor Johnson's
signature, was received in Washington
official circle with interest, although it
was not unexpected. The protest
probably will be presented to Acting
Secretary John Bassett Moore at the
state department today.
Referendum Suggested.
Pending the return of SECRETARY
Bryan from Sacramento, no statement
from the administration is expected
here. 1t is known that president has
had suggested to him the referendum
as a possible means of delaying, for
nearly two years, the effect Of the
California law in the event it is sign
ed by the governor, but no intimation
of how the idea was received has been
forthcoming.
Appreciate Efforts of u. S.
Tokio.-The Japanese press ex-
presses a general appreciation OF the
Efforts Of President Wilson in behalf
Of land bill in California that would
be unobjectionable to the Japanese.
Special dispatches received from
Washington telling Of reported plans
for the mobilization of the Japanese
navy are read here with ridicule by
those best informed on naval plans.
Japs to Build More Warships.
Contracts have been placed for the
construction in Japanese shipyards of
three dreadnaughts. They will be sis
ter ships to Fuse, the displacement of
which is 10000 tons.
