FEARS JAPANESE
Towne Believes Nipponese Are
Preparing to Seize Islands
of United States.

1T is simply a question of whether
Japan believes the time has come to
strike declared former Senator
Charles Towne at the White House this
morning. in discussing the situation
raised by the California alien land bill.
Sooner or later we will have to
fight Japan for the control of the Pa
cific. People who do not understand
that are simply illusioned. / served as
counsel to the Emperor of Korea, and
/ have come in contact with Marquis

they believe the hour has come to war
with us for mastery of the Pacific. there
will be no lack Of excuses for begin

II wired Governor johnson the other
night that, no matter what he did. II
Japan thought II expeditions to strike
us now. the blow would fall, but at the
same time he ought to see to II that
any law passed would be so worded
that We would not be held to blame in
the eyes of the world"
Senator Towne declared there was
just one way to preserve peace, and
that was to have a fleet that was the
equal of Japan's. plus that which any
other power would be likely to send
into the Pacific to take sides with
her. He said it was idle to talk of
Japan landing troops in California.
IF war ever comes" he said, "she
will attempt to seize the Philippines,
Hawaii. and Alaska And II she gets
them 1t will keep US fighting for
years to get them back"
Mr.. Towne said il would require
most careful examination to find
whether the California law invaded
treaty rights. He was not ready to
pass on that.
He declared it the unanimous
opinion of naval attaches at Tokyo
that Japan would strike at the
United States sooner or later. He
thinks Japan and Russia have an un-
derstanding whereby Russia takes

Arizona Anti-AIien
Land Bill More Drastic
Than That of California

The subject of Arizona's drastic anti
alien land measure. passed yesterday
was not brought to the official attention
of President Wilson today.
The President maintained his attitude
of studying the California Dill. and OF
waiting for the return of Secretary OF
State Bryan before sending a message
to Governor johnson.
With the passage of a bill in Arizona
more stringent than the California
measure the situation today il decided;
complicated.
Amba ssador Chinda did not call at
either the State Department or White
House today. nor did he send any mes
sage of protest against the California
measure.
Il is the belief around the White
House this afternoon that the President
will take no action whatever in either
the California or Arizona situation he
fore he has had counsel with Secretary
Bryan. He has already indicated that
he will make a thorough study of The
California bill and be ready for the next
move with California at the week end.

TARIFF VOTE MAY Be
REACHED TOMORROW
Democratic Leaders Do Not
Anticipate Debate on In
come Tax Feature.

AS the House neared completion this
afternoon of the taxing features Of the
Underwood tariff bill and made ready
for the discussion of the income tax
and administ ration section of the
measure. indications were that vote
will be taken on the bill late tomorrow
afternoon.
The Democratic leaders do not antic-
ipate any extended debate on the in
come tax, and the final political flare
up came today on the concluding para
graphs OF the free list.
The debate on the free list was desul-
tory, except for the heated discussion
over raw wool and the irterjection of
the name of William Jennings Bryan.
Congressman Willis. an Ohio Republi-
can, intimated that the Democrats were
following the Lead of Bryan and putting
raw wool on the free list, whereas Il
wa staxcd 20 per cent in the Underwood
bill of last year.

then that he vas not following W. j.

will be completed this afternoon and
the income tax will be debated at the
night session.
As the House neared the end Of its
discussion on the free list, the Repub-
lican amendments became fewer Ind
the debate less spirited. The tree list
constitutes the last 'controverted' Sec
ton Of the bill. as no hard fights are
anticipated on the income tax and ad-
ministrative features of the measure.
Members began to show signs of re-
lief that the bill. for better or worse,
was on the last leg of its journey
through the House. and prospects
frightened for its final massage not
later than Wednesday night.
Members from the agricultural sec
tions of the Middle West renewed their
efforts today to prevent the free listing
Of many farm products, but amend
ments were bowled over as usual Con-

duty. His efforts came to naught, and
except in preparation for the fight over

has marked the consideration of the
