UNITED STATES TO PAY
UNDER NEW JAP LAND LAW

TOXIC, Japan. Aug. 16.-It has
been announced here that the United
States has intimated readiness to
favor in principle the payment of an
indemnity to Japanese subjects who
have been affected by the California
alien land ownership legislation. The
United States has also recognized
the right of Japan to ADOPT a meas
ure similar to the California bill
From limitations given In official
circles 1t is unlikely that Japan Will
adopt either idea. What Japan de-
sires is permanent friendly relations
with the United States and therefore
she seeks a fundamental solution of
the difficulty. If the United States
has no solution to offer, 1t is stated.
Japan will probably allow the mat
ter to remain as a grievance.
The public feeling of humiliation In
this connection continues to be famed
by inflammatory comments In the
newspapers. The "Hochi Shimbun."
which often is sensational. urges as
an object lesson to the United states
the expulsion of American mission
aries from Korea on the ground that
they are undesirable aliens.
