CALIFORNIA
JAP MEASURE
UNCHANGED

SACRAMENTO, Cal, April 30
Secretary Bryan's efforts to prevent
the legislature passing the anti-alien
land owning bill in the present ses-
sion has failed. The senate at mid
night session adopted by vive voce a
bill prepared by Attorney General
Webb at Governor ,lohnson's sugges-
tion as a substitute for the pending
Birdsall bill. 1t will come up for
final passage in the senate tomorrow.
1t must pass the house also.
The measure reiterates California's
right to exclude aliens and carries e,s-
actly the same intent as the former
bill 1t omits the phrase "aliiens in
eligible to citizenship cannot acquire
land" substituting "aliens eligible to
citizenship can acquire property. This
is merely an inverse statement of the
same proposition.
After last nights executive session
Mr.. Bryan practically acknowledged
the defeat Of his mission. In con-
versation with group of legislators
he said; "The president has done
his duty as he saw it. The task is
practically ended"
Democratic members of the senate,
failing to amend the Webb bill will
support it. despite Bryan's urging.
Assemblyman Wall, Democrat, in
last nights session told Bryan that the
Democrats were unalterably pledged
to the bill and determined to sup
port it "if the votes meant that brown
feet would trample California soil to
back up Japan's demands
Bryan is in San Francisco today
to attend a banquet. He returns to-
morrow to remain until the matter is
definitely settled.
