English Newspapers Con dann Political Situation
 ill United States.
JAPAN IS RESTRAINT
Former New Jersey Official Issues Statement CHnatl'riE"
 Sitnatit1i.

London, May 3.-The quo&tion of war between the United States and Japan is paramount in the minds of the Europeans. That neither country is seeking war is the o: inion of Maj General Edward r. Meaney, former judge advocate of .NeW Jersey, who has returned to London after a three months tour of European countries General Meaney said:
 There is an unseemly haste on the part of the English newspapers to condemn the political situation in they have no compensation of the countries in general nor it's politics wards the United States. They do not treat us with that consideration which the American press does the English situation. There may be cer- tain differences beuN cen our country and Japan, but whatever these diff ferences are they will be speedily slnoothed out tc the satisfaction oi both countries.
 Japan is net seeking with warfare with any country, chiefly because she is iii nc condition lancially to dc go. The national debt tnCre is enor- nous. Without question Japan wishes to spread out as any growing country must do, but her progress will not threaten our outlying possessions tc such an extent that we will be unable to protect and retain them.
 "The United States is at peace with the world. Not a single treaty has ever been broken by her for the American policy is for peace and though questions arise from time te time which seem threatening, we al. ways seem able to find happy solp- ton.
 ",The conditions in Europe are un- pleasant and there is every indics,- tion that they will become worse be- fore any improvement is made There is little doubt that the situation here is one which will require great dipli- macy to settle amicably.
 Unless something bordering on a miracle happens, there is likely to be a great alteration in the may ol Europe within the next six months.

Washington, May 3.-President Will o'clock today after a two days speak ing trip to New Jersey. He expressed himself as pleased with his reception in his home state and confident that the reforms he advocated would be ac- complished
 One of the incidents of the trip which afforded the president much satisfaction and which did not be- come known until today was meeting William F McCombs and Secretary McAdO of the treasury department at the home of E. M House. It was the first time that Chairman McCombs and Secretary McAdoo, who was vice chairman, had met since the early days of the campaign. Differences of opinion as 10 the management of the campaign are said to nave existed be- tween the two men, though their re- hllOHS WILL MT. " llSOll were dlN ayS of a warm cordiality
 In view of the widespread signifi- canoe, politically, that has been at tached to the situation the president was glad to meet his two friends for social chat, especially since Mr. Me- Combs was scheduled to sail today for Europe today for several months rest. The departure of Mr .McCOmbs for Europe revived talk here of circum- stances under which he declined the presidents offer to be ambassador to France There was an intimation that while Mr. McCombs was going abroad for rest he might be offered the same post later and would accept. So far as is known, the president has not determined upon anyone else for this post The president had no en- agreements and planned a holiday He started out walking early and did not expect to be in his office except for brief period.

 PartSanship Lost Sight of.
 In the closing hours of the debate arats and Republicans voted together in response to what they took to De the demand of the people of Califor- nia. Their only difference in the end was the question of whether the bill was drastic enough.
 The futility of Secretary Bryan $ mission was shown in the vote of his own party. Nine of the ten Democrats voted contrary to the advice which he brought from President Wilson, while not a single Progressive yielded to his expressed wishes.
 Offensive Words Omitted.
 In phraseology the bill, as re- drafted by Attorney General Webb ar ter many conferences with Governor Johnson and the administration lead CTS. omitted the words Ineligible to citizenship (which are offensive to the Japanese, but those in charge of the bill repeatedly admitted in the de- bate that the end sought was the same.
 Democratic opposition was purely tactical The minority confessed it's sympaty with the ends sought, and freely criticised the bill not as too trastic but as too weak Where the minority differed was in it's judgment of the means wisest to employ. This attitude found it's expression in a re- solution offered by eSnator Curtin, and defeated by a vote of 10 ayes to for the bill was solid, With a single exception. In opposition were eight Ol jCil HJClllOSl oiiC iooi NS'A - and Senator Wright of San Diego, the lone Taft Republican in the chamber.
 el:nator Curtin's resolution IYropos- ed that the state of California defer to the wishes of the President of the United States, and this legislature will not at this session pass the bill advised against
 Arguments Against the Bill.
 The chief arguments advanced against the bill and in support of the Curtain resolution were:
 That the bill was discourteous Io the President of the United tSates and the imperial government of Japan. 2.-That the ends it sought might better the more permanently be at tained by Federal negotiations. 3.-That those opposed to it might invoke the referendum, thus lnhlblt- ing effective action under it's provis- ions for yeaa and seven months during which Japanese, advised of the intentions of the tSate, might acquire
