Delay Expected

Sacramento, May 4.-The California an
ti-aien land holding act, which passed
both houses of the legislature within a
hours, after bringing about one of the
most unusual situations in the history Of
the nation, will lie on Governor johnson S
desk without his signature until Secre-
tary of State Bryan can confer with Pres
ident Wilson in Washington.
This will mean delay of nearly Il
week, as Secretary Bryan left here last
evening and will not reach the national
capital until Wednesday night or Thurs
day morning.
Governor johnson will wait as he says.
"a reasonable time" for whatever pro-
tests the government may make, after
which he will sign the bill He is required
by law TO sign or veto all acts passed up
to him by the legislature within ten days
of final passage, provided the enacting
body remains in session for that length
of time. Otherwise he has 80 days.
1t appeared tonight that the Legislature
would not adjourn until May 10, or late,
which would require the governor to act
on or before Tuesday May 13.

Much Speculation

There is much speculation here as to the
next probable step to be taken by the
government against the measure. 1t is
generally thought, however, that Presi-
dent Wilson Will state his objections once
more to Governor Johnson and then seek
through diplomacy TO answer the possible
protests from Toxic
Opinion as to the effectiveness of the
act in accomplishing its purpose, the
elimination of the Japanese farmer is di-
vided Until the final amendment was
adopted, permitting aliens ineligible to
citizenship to lease agricultural lands for
three years, the measure was most dra3-
tic.
Now, however, it is asserted by many,
il will accomplish little inasmuch it
does not stipulate that the leases may
not he renewed again and again.
Governor Johnson and the proSressives
regard the measure as a necessary first
step in accomplishing What they believe
to be the desire of the people of the
state.
This act establishes the policy of the
state toward alien land eolders," was
hteir answe rto those who asked for a
more rigid law Two years, or -four

General Appreciation


The Japanese press today expressed
a general appreciation of the efforts of
Pre- sident Wilson in behalf of a land
bill in California that would be unob-
jcciionable to the Japanese.
Leaders of public opinion in Japan
aTe advising that an attitude of calm
hess be maintained in the present sit
udtion. Such men as Baron SlbusaWa
and Chairman Nal<ano of the Toxic
cha mber of commerce publicly assert
confidence that the American govern
ment and people alike are opposed to
discriminatory measures of legislation.
They declare that every effort must
be made to discover and eradicate the
root of anita gonism to the Japanese in
California in order that amicable rela-
tions may be restored
While the Japanese newspapers
voice these same sentiments, they
Blame the government for what they
term failure of diplomacy"

Washington telling of reported plans
for the mobilization of the Japanese
