ALIEN LAND LAWS
The Whole Country Has Its
Eyes Upon California
Right Now.
SITUATION A DELICATE ONE
Resentment of the Japanese Over the
Proposed Discriminatory Measure
Threatens to involve This Country
In an international ENHANCEMENT.

Sacramento, Cal, April 29.-Eyen
attaches OF both houses were excluded
from the two long secret conferences
held by Secretary Bryan with mem
beers of the legislature. At the first
conference Bryan asked that alien
land legislation should be postponed
until some committee of investigation
selected by the legislature should de-
termine that such legislation was an
actual necessity at this time. Legis-
lators who were seen after the close
of the first session expressed the con-
viction that Bryan's visit will result in
the postponement Of the enactment Of
any alien land legislation at this SEES
sion and that a commission from both
houses and made up Of all parties win
be named to investigate the necessity
OF legislation at this time If this
commission reports that such legisla-
ton is needed, then a special session
Of the legislature will be called.
Opposed to this view, however, Gov
ernor Johnson plainly announced that
an alien land bill viii be forced through
the Legislature, Johnson's statements
are considered by Democrats and by
regular Republicans to be bordering
upon direct insult to the national gov
eminent The governor appeared to
be beside himself with wrath. 1T is
not a question if Japan viii be Of
Tended, but have you given just cause
for that offense?" he shouted, address
. ing the assembled members. He shook
his fist and emphasized his statements
with oratorial effect
This new alien land bill that it is ex-
pected will be jammed through the
in the possession Of the majority
forces. The new bill is directly OPP
posed to the wishes of the administra-
ton and embodies just the features to
which the president objects.
Secretary Bryan in his second con-
ference suggested four methods Of re-
lief for California. One to delay i'm
mediate action and permit the state
department to frame new treaty
with Japan; or to appoint a commits
sion to investigate alien land owner
ship and act with President Wilson;
or to enact a law similar to the six
year land law for alien property own
ers as in Illinois or to create law
similar to the District of Columbia
statute. Either of these, Mr. Bryan
said, was superior to the bill which
includes the offensive phrase "ineligi-
Bile to citizenship"
Mr.. Bryan acknowledged that the
pending bill does not conflict with
treaty rights, but he questioned the
assumption that the people of Califor-
MIA demanded such law
