farming is carried to it's highest ef-

The land may not be any richer than

a great deal more out of it. The fact
Of the matter is. we have to do so.
Our density of population requires
that the land productivity be brought
to it's highest point.
The land there has been farmed

Washington, May 16.-secretary
Bryan returned from New York early
today and was at his desk long before
the cabinet meeting, at which he will
present the reply Of the United States
to Japan's protest against the Cali
fornia land question. 1t is probable
that steps soon will be taken to pub
lish the text of, the Japanese protest,
though 1t may be deferred until the
answer of the United States is de-
livered.
Although frequent inquiries from
the Japanese ambassador indicate a
disposition to press negotiations, prob
ably in recognition of the state Of the
public mind in Japan. diplomatic
practice warrants the allowance of at
least several days for the delivery OF
the state departments answer.
The presidents announcement that
there will be no movement Of troops
or ships that will be connected with
the situation, is expected by official
circles to be construed as evidence of
his conviction that the issue will be
adjusted automatically.

Danish interests comes up the vice
