Washington, May 19.-The movement
in California to submit the ant1-ailen
act to a referendum Is understood to
be viewed by the administration as af-
fording opportunity for diplomatic ad-
iustment of the issues between tho
United States and Japan.
1t had been assumed mere that be-
cause of the overwhelming sentiment
in California for the exclusion Of Japa-
nese from owning land there might be
difficulty in securing the 10000 sigma !
lures necessary to invoke the refer
endum. Now, however. that the ex-
clusion element itself. or rather it's most
radical components-the Asiatic Ex-
clusion League-has taken up the
movement. the probability of it's sue
cess has greatly increased. in the OF
fetal judgment.
Japs Will Not Approve.
The Japanese government is not e*-
pected to approve that method OF deal :
ing with it's protest. tho probably II VIII
be difficult for the Toxic foreign Once
to find technical grounds to offer op-
jections to the method In which can
fornia is attempting to legislate.
Officials here feel that Japan regards
the present the best time to perma-
nently settle the question and that II
will contemplate with impatience the
delay OF a year and a half even tho if
the intermi the proposed law would MOI
apply to the Japanese in California.
White House officials today believe
no reply would be made to the Japa
nese protest until Governor johnson
actually signs the Webb bill. 1t wa!
reiterated that the exchanges with the
Japanese ambassador. Viscount Chinda
had been of the most friendly and
cordial nature.
