The ablest summing up Of the in

from Representative Victor Murdoch
of Kansas, leader of the Progressives.
"All the provisions Of the bill,

into the delicately inter-related ad-
justment of the nations industrial

THE Progressive party believes in

the United States and foreign coun-

manufacturer and which shall main

petitive tariff and the Progressive
party maintains that in the framing
of such tariff, consideration Of all
factors affecting the competitive
strength of an industry here and in
foreign lands is prerequisite. There
fore, the Progressive party would
bring to the task complete machin-
cry for the development of data in

the creation Of a nonpartisan scien-

ASKS CALIFORNIA
TO DEFER ACTION
Secretary Bryan's Latest to
Governor Johnson.
WILSON WANTS MORE TIME.
Mr.. Bryan Declares That If Action is
Postponed the President Will
Cooperate to Correct
EvilsThat Exist.

Washington William Jennings
Bryan, secretary of state, sent to Gov
ernor Johnson, of California, a tele-
gram expressing the wishes of Presi-
dent Wilson that action on the alien
land law, passed by the California leg
islature, be deferred. Secretary Bryan
ends the telegram with an offer of
cooperation on the part of the Presi.
dent ito discover and correct any evils
that may exist" in the proposed law.
The statement in full, is as follows
Hon. Hiram w. Johnson, Governor,
Sacramento, CAL:
The President directs me to express
his appreciation of your courtesy in
delaying action on the land bill now
before you until its provisions could
be communicated to the Japanese gov
ernment and considered by it.
His Excellency, Baron Chinda, has,
on behalf of his government, presented
an earnest protest against the meas
ure. AS you have before you but two
alternatives, viz: To approve or to
veto. 1t will avail nothing to recall to
your attention the amendments sug-
gested to the legislature. And as the
President has already laid before you
his views upon the subject 1t is un-
necessary ito reiterate them.
He passes over questions affecting
treaty rights for two reasons-first,
because the bill passed by the legisla-
ture is avowedly intended to conform
to treaty obligations. and. second, be-
cause any conflict complained Of
bwould he anatter for. tN courts lhui
! pressing again his desire that action
on the subject be deferred for this
session and he expressed the desire
the more freely because the legisla-
ture can be reconvened at any time II
the welfare of the state requires it.
He is fully alive to the Importance
of giving any root of discord which
may create antagonism between
/, American citizens and the subjects of
oriental nations residing here, but he
is impelled by sense of duty to ex-
press the hope that you will see fit to
allow time for diplomatic effort. The
nations affected by the proposed law
are friendly nations = nations that
have shown themselves willing to CO.
operate in the establishment of har-
monious relations between thsir peo-
pie and ours.
If postponement commends itself
to your Judgment the President will
be pleased to cooperate in syste.
matte effort to discover and correct
any evils that may exist in connection
with land ownership by aliens.

JAPANESE ARMY
IN CALIFORNIA
Ex-German Army Officers Re-
cent Observations.
FREQUENT MILITARY DRILLS
Japanese in California Would Be a
Serious Menace Should Difficult
ties Arise Between the
Two Nations.

New York.-"If war was declared
between Japan and the United States
you would find that Japan has well
trained, highly efficient army of 10000
men right IN eaiifornis And g'qns ne
Pacific Coast Those men ars patriotic
to the core, and would be serious
menace to the safety of our citizens If
war broke out"
The foregoing statement was made
when Major Heinrich Werner, OF the
German Army, sailed for Bremen on
tho steamer Prinz Friedrich Wilhelm.
Major Werner, on his retirement from
active service, came to this country
10 years ago, and made his home in
San Francisco. He has become
wealthy, and has decided to live per-
manently in Germany
"What tell you now is the result Of
close study of the Japanese on the
Paet.lc." continued the Major. "The
mobilization of a small army has been
going on secretly for years, and what
have observed have observed with
military eyes, and am therefore better
able to appreciate what constant mill
tary training means.
"Gn isolated parts Of California
which have visited in my auto | have
come across Japanese spending their
noon hour and their evenings in drill,
| have watched small companies of
them marching and parading to the
orders of Japanese officers, who are
earning their living iii the country by
doing mental work. They have organ
lied small survey parties and made
maps of every spot in California, and
the information they have gained is
of priceless value to them.
you people in the East think 1t is
all joke. You are overconfident and
you think that if Japan starts war
it would simply mean small matter
of sending couple of American battle
ships to end it. Japan has battleships
and is building more. Japan has an
army that will compare for efficiency
with any army in the world, and VIII 1t
is more, she has already strong foot
hold in this country.
"The people of California and ad-
joining states intend to get rid of the
Japs as fast as they can. But they
want to feel that everybody is con-
cerned for the future of California and
not regard it as foreign possession.
The Jap question is vital and can't
help but feel that much harm will
follow if the United States govern
ment does not act firmly and prompt
