Governor Johnson to Secretary Bryans
telegram of last night requesting that
he veto the alien land-owning bill
passed by the California legislature and
give the state department an oppor-

embarrass the negotiations Therefore
the state department declined to make

point, simply pointed to his own mes
sage of last night in which he re-
ferred to the Japanese communication
as a very earnest protest.
Whether the protest went outside of
treaty. and claimed a violation OF the
principles of International law in dis
crimination against the Japanese, or
was an allegation that the spirit if not
the letter of the treaty had been in
fringed by the California legislation,
the Secretary would not say. In fact,
he had not deemed it expedient to ac-
quaint even Governor Johnson with the
details of the communication.
Secretary Bryan let it be known that
If legislation in California is postponed
the state department will undertake to
deal automatically with the Japanese
government regarding the whole sub
ject of alien land ownership as affect
ing Japanese in America Meanwhile he
declined to indicate the course that will
be followed by the department in the

be close. When Mr. Penrose made his
motion Friday, the republicans mad
enough votes to carry it, but before the
Senate meets tomorrow, democrats Who
were absent are expected to be present
and the first blood of the fight probably
will find both sides of the Senate fully
represented. Democrats on the finance
committee were s<eptical of a report that
an agreement had been signed by seven
western democrats who are opposed to
free wool to vote against that provision
of the bill in the proposed conference

did not believe that any such agreement
has been made or Is likely to be made
