ing him to withhold his signature
from any anttalien land legislation
passed by the California legfslature
which might be in violation of the
treaties between the United States
and Japan.
Bryan declined to make public the
text OF the telegram and with some
reluctance discussed the subject at

public its text in California until af
ter 1t had been presented to an exc

though President Wilson was taking

WILL PROTECT JAPs.
The attitude of the government off,
elals may be summed I'D as LOOKING
upon the popular outbursts in Toxic
as unwarranted at this time. The
federal government fully intends to
give Japanese residents every protec-
ton and privilege accorded to for
eigners under the favored national
principle of its treaties.
At the same time diplomatic cir
cies here are alive to the situation
and some of the more prominent en-
bassies and legations have been Or
dered to keep their governments ad-
V1sed OF every action. Protests from
Italy, which, it is believed, might be
followed by more from other nations
as 70 the restrictions on aliens. excited
much comment among the diplomats;
but attention was most frequently
drawn to the existing alliances be-
tween Japan and the great powers.
which might be affected in case of a
breach between Japan and the United
States.
Some Of the diplomats suggested
that it was possible that the present
Japanese cabinet might be swept
from power through the present agi-
tation, and in the hope of placatfng
popular clamor a new cabinet might
issue a more emphatic protest or vi.
hmatum TO the Washington govern
ment.
