Discreetly Silent

The Japanese embassy officials here
are discreetly silent regarding the latest
phase of the situation. but 1t is believed
they regard this last measure as far less
offensive than the original Webb bill
Most of the agricultural lands in Call
fornia cultivated by Japanese are held
under lease and the property occupied as
residences and business houses by Japan
ese is especially exempted from escheat-
ment, so that the pecuniary damage
caused by the act would be reduced to
a minimum by the amendment. 1t Is
pointed out, too, that by recognizing the
validity of leases the Californians are
simply duplicating the conditions under
which Americans at present hold land in
japan.

here the opinion is gaining ground that
the situation created by proposed anti
alien land owning legislation in California
has been relieved largely OF its grave
aspect, and that satisfactory adjust
ment has been brought into sight by latest
developments at Sacramento.
Adoption by the California senate of the

ponement of his return to Washington
from Sacramento. 1t is believed the Sec
retary hopes to mitigate the drastic fea-
lures of the bill to a point where there
would be no ground for objection from
the Japanese government
Any such legislation that pending
in California would not be welcomed by
the Japanese, but it is said that in the
higher circles in Toxic, it is realized that
some such legislation is inevitable and
must be accepted. provided Japanese
pride is saved, and the probable injury
to Japanese subjects in California re.
duced to a minimum.
