Legislation to Curb laps.
l United Press Whe.

Special By United Press Wbe.
Sacramento, April 2S.-"If Cali
fornia is to remain a white man S
country the Japanese, as a land own
er and land seller, must go" That
is the gist of the information which
was given Secretary of State Bryan
on his arrival here at o'clock this
morning, in the attempt to mitigate
the severity of the pending anti
alien land law, by which the Califor-
mia legislature is expected to carry
out the undoubted wishes of the peo-
pie of the state.
Bryan, upon his arrival, was well
coined by Governor Johnson, whose
guest he will be during his visit in
this city Then, from the mouths of
both the Progressive leader in the
legislature and from Democrats as
well, he was given first hand story
of the real reason for the present
agitation to exclude from land own
ership all aliens who are not eligL
BILE to citizenship. Bryan was told
that California has nothing against
the Japanese as such, and that there
is no objection to their living in the
state and engaging in scholarly or
mercantile pursuits. california does
object, however, to their growing up
on land and forming colonies and
nonaffiliable aliens with whom the
white people will not and cannot
mix. There are 10000 of them now
in California engaged in trades and
agriculture and whole communities
such as Vacaccille, Cal, has been
captured by them. They have driv-
en- out the whites and got the fin
est farming and orchard lands in the
state. He was also told that in
many instances white women suckle
the children of Japanese and Cali
fornia insists that there shall be no
race problem and have determined
to stop it now before it becomes
acute.
Bryan said he would say what he
had to say before the legislature.
