WASHINGTON, June 5.-Francis J.
Heney, Tim Spellacy and John r. Ell
liott are here on various matters con-

are interested in an effort to have a

Heney says that the plan is to have
conditions imposed on pipe lines cross
Ing public lands that they shall carry
oil for any one offering it.
The oil industry is at its height in
California" said Heney today. aThe
Standard is evidently reaching out for
the small concerns and is gathering
them in one by one. 1t Is keeping
down the price and making it un-
profitable for the little fellows, so that
they are gradually being forced out of
the business. Making pipe lines com
mon carriers would help the situation.
I am interested in seeing the suit OF
the government to forfeit oil lands
held by the Southern Pacific pushed.

Following Interview With

Intirnates Sooner or Later
Meaning of Federal Laws
on Naturalization Must
Be Determined by Courts
CABINET TO GET
LAST NOTE TODAY
No Solution Reached in Cali
fornia Land Row, but the
White House Is Confident
Friendly Adjustment Will
Be Obtained-No Sugges-
ton for Arbitration Made

WASHINGTON, June 5.-After read
ing Japan's latest note on the Cali
Ecrnia alien land law and just before
conference with Ambassador Chinda,
President Wilson today expressed the
view that the new communica ton
opened the way for very interesting
and friendly negotiations"
The president had brief confer
ence with Secretary Bryan and an in
FORMAL talk afterward with Viscount
Chinda. He had explained earlier that
he did not expect to make any official
reply to the Japanese ambassador, but
would discuss the Tokyo note orally.
NATURALIZATION TEST LIKELY
The president let it be known that
In the Japanese notes but that none
of the documents thus far exchanged
by the two governments had in them
selves suggested a solution OF the land
law difficulty. He indicated that the
negotiations would proceed slowly and
carefully with a view to obtaining a
frank expression of opinions by the
Two nations.
Sooner or later, it was indicated the
meaning Of the federal laws on natur-
alization would have TO be determined
by the courts. though the initiative
might have to be taken by Japanese
residents, as the government could not
institute proceedings.
No suggestion for arbltrating the
difficulties has thus far been made, it
was learned authoritatively, but White
House officials reiterated their con-
fdent expectation of an amicable ad
justment eventually.
NOTE TO CABINET TODAY
Japan's latest word viii be presented
TO the cabinet today. 1t is more than
probable that the cabinet will consider
the rejoinder only in preliminary
way.
The next step in the negotiations is
a reply to Japan's rejoinder. This is
expected to take up the Tokyo govern
ment's reiterated contention that the
Webb law is in eontravention of the
treaty of 1911. derogatory to the equal
treatment which Japanese expect under
International law. and therefore a
racial discrimination. The whole tone
of the japanese note inviting further
negotiations upon the controverted
points Impressed official Washington
more than fayorably.
